    I'd still like to know why previous presidents withholding records from Congress and defying subpoenas was ho-hum, "normal" stuff, but Trump doing the same thing is an existential crisis that threatens the very foundations of the Republichttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1125972849896972288 …

    Obama frequently rejected Congressional subpoenas and refused to hand over records. So did George W. Bush. So did Bill Clinton. This is a common dynamic between the Executive and Legislative branches. But now Dems are screaming that Trump doing it is a Constitutional Crisis pic.twitter.com/b8T93Uw4EW

        It's yet another manifestation of the country's ingrained animosity to people of color, i.e., Orange Man Bad.

        Trump should declassify every report having to do with Russian conspiracy/intervention. That would be epic.

        Only the most dedicated Russiagate followers weren't bored out of their minds by all the 'walls closing in' that never did 'close in' months ago. BOTH SIDES' LYING & HYPERBOLE has numbed people to Trump's lying and exaggerating. They're normalizing him.

        Seriously, Dems wanting Trump impeached hang onto every Dem word like it is evidence. Every GOP talking point is going around social media like it is evidence of something, too. Not 1 mind changed. Except for undecideds being more & more motivated to STAY HOME Nov2020.

        Nadler’s subpoena would have compelled AG Barr to break the law. So it’s actually Nadler who’s the menace to our democracy.

        It’s because they really don’t have anything else. They refuse to run on economic policy or healthcare (outside of Bernie), so this is what they have to do or else they piss off the donors and risk losing that sweet donor cash. Left with any social issue or create faux outrage.
