Adam Schiff has announced he's no longer waiting for courts to compel witnesses to testify in some of the impeachment topics. Instead, the fact of their refusal will be used as evidence that they're co-conspirators in Trump's crime spree.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
A bit of genius right there. LOCK THEM UP!!! hehehe

OP
The extra brilliance in this is that their defense will necessarily divulge trump's pressure on them

They can save their miserable hides by stonewalling House subpoenas, but not for much longer.

I hope he doesn't feel the same about the complete and unredacted Muller report and the phone call full transcript. Don't know if he has seen same but should fight in court to get them. Oh yea them taxes too.

(90,323 posts)13. "they're co-conspirators" does this mean that the people who refuse could go to jail? thx in advance
If so this is big, that's not screwing around ... my understanding is people can go to jail for OoJ and being a co conspirator.
