Did Trump conspire with his four aides to defy the subpoenas?

Since they are not yet charged with any crime, I suppose it would not be illegal?

Perhaps someone could clarify that?

They are showing their cards. They are going to fight it our in the courts. They believe they can obstruct and delay until after the midterms next year, and when they win back both houses of Congress, they will end all investigations.

Is that the plan?

Or just showing STRENGTH...as they understand it.

Jan. 6th has not yet gained the traction it should. The hearings will be brutal though. Spun like hell yes but the lift is going to shine on who Trumps core really is. This is what the GOP establishment feared all along with Trump. They tried to put him down but no one would get out of the race in 2016.

court. It's a major lack of will in our legal system. We need some major changes,
that's for sure.
