Top intel Dem hints at dragging Trump before House Intelligence Committee



Schiff raised important questions that have obvious, if unconfirmed, answers. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer went to pieces when asked if Trump personally directed the Nunes cover-up, and Schiff is correct that the best person to answer that definitively is Trump himself.

Even Nunes has previously expressed a willingness to subpoena the Trump administration, and Schiff’s remarks seem to suggest that Trump’s tweets may end up putting him in the hot seat, under oath, before Congress.

The only question, then, will be if Trump asks for immunity.

compel Trump to appear before its committees. See Watergate.

in Congress? This idea is foolishness. It won't happen. The President will not be subpoenaed to appear. I'm not even sure there's any way to do that, even if Democrats were in the majority.

We really should be looking for realistic options, not fantacizing, I think.
