Since the border detention centers are supposedly like summer camps, I say pack them all into the House jail. It's certainly better than a border facility. Or, ship them to a border detention center so Lewandowski, McGahn, Conway, Hicks, Donaldson, Porter and everybody else can have a taxpayer funded summer camp.

(56,827 posts)with Trump "ORDERING" people not to comply with subpoenas and claiming executive privilege over people that never worked in the White House (Lewandowski) to limit their testimony, they need to really start playing hardball. The DOJ is submissive to Trump's wishes as well, so are not going to enforce subpoenas from criminal referrals.

(56,827 posts)Yes, Republicans may take revenge on a future Democratic president, but if Trump isn't stopped soon, there may be no future Democratic president.
I'll take my chances invoking Inherent Contempt and potential revenge from Republicans over losing the Constitution and the republic.

If Trump isn't stopped soon, there will be no revenge against a Democratic president to be had in the future.
