"SNIP....

“The House Judiciary Committee appears to have reached a deal with former White House aide Annie Donaldson that would allow her to not appear before the committee by a Monday deadline and answer written questions instead,” CNN reports.

“The testimony of Donaldson, who was chief of staff for then-White House counsel Don McGahn, has been of high interest to House Democrats given her first-hand knowledge of key events. Donaldson said she took copious notes, which the committee believes will bolster its probe into potential obstruction of justice.”

2. "Leave the testimony. Take the notes"

They probably couldn’t care less what she has to say. It’s the notes they want.

4. Once again, we negotiated down. NOT testifying before committee, not televised, no opportunity

to ask follow-up questions in the moment, no ability for us or the committee members to ascertain credibility. etc. She is a very key witness.

Are these written answers going to be similar to trump's to Mueller?

Forget the charade. File Artiicles of Impeachment, hold hearings, request witnesses appear, if witnesses refuse or do not show up on date Judiciary Committee requested, immediately issue subpoenas, no more negotiating. If subpoenas are not complied with, immediately enforce consequences (no more negotiating), go to court, etc.

Deal from a position of strength, please!
