MSNBC: Depositions will involve Trump, Pence, Barr, Giuliani, Pompeo

[berni_mccoy]

It looks like subpoenas are being issued for Pompeo and Giuliani but are expected to include Barr, Pence and Trump himself. They are going to depose them all.

Just reported on MSNBC (Chuck Todd’s show),

We here already suspected that was going to happen, but it looks like it really is.

And it will happen over the next few weeks, not months.

Edit to Add: If they all go down on this, it will be an insane few months to watch all of it happen.

Can you say President Pelosi?

1. get one small cozy cell for the lot of them.

[empedocles]

2. That group is starting to feel still more heat.

[Buckeyeblue]

3. Of course Trump won't show up but he wouldn't last 30 minutes

[TheRealNorth]

6. He will cry perjury trap

Because he can't help but lie whenever he opens his mouth.

[subana]

4. YES!!!!

that's great news!! Asshole Trump thought he could ignore subpoenas for docs & stop witnesses from testifying! But he's finding out, that wasn't a good strategy!

[torius]

5. Will any of them show up?

He has told his band of mobsters to ignore subpoenas so far and they have, with no consequences. Why would they show up for this?

[TheRealNorth]

9. I would think they could be forced too

Wasn't Clinton forced to testify? They don't have to answer if they plead the 5th.

[triron]

13. No Clinton did voluntarily.

[NotASurfer]

7. And Guiliani seems unhinged enough to show up

Deny, then claim attorney client privilege or executive privilege, then on followup proudly state he did whatever the inquiry asks him about, with unprompted details

I don't expect it, but if he does...going to need a higher capacity popcorn maker

[JCMach1]

8. Impeach the whole lot... excluding Giuliani... 100% make him a whistleblower hero

just do it Rudy!

[Golden Raisin]

10. So far with this Regime subpoenas have been blatantly

ignored, openly defied and scoffed at with zero consequences. That same defiance applies to what we thought were all other traditionally accepted norms and laws. It will now be interesting to see if the Ukraine affaire boots this up to a much more serious level where flaunting Congressional subpoenas will not be tolerated.

[lindysalsagal]

11. Yes, but now, that would trigger the impeachment and the senate would know they're stuck with it

It's a coverup of a cover-up. And it hands the 2020 election to the dems.

[FakeNoose]

12. Rudy and Bill Barr can't represent Chump if they're included on the subpoena

I would expect them each to have depositions scheduled separately. Wouldn't that normally be the case?

[Totally Tunsie]

14. One thing you can say in Chump's favor:

There is a 0% unemployment rate among attorneys up and down the east coast. Even the attorneys have attorneys!
