Court says it has no role between House & White House, won't make McGAHN testify

It's on CNN but I'm on phone, can't link. House can request full court or SCotUS. Judge said courts can't babysit.

So, House should go to Arrests, I'm all in!1

Since McGAHN testified to MUELLER, seems like House didn't use MUELLER report enough UTUSN Feb 2020 #2
Who says Mueller asked enough questions or right ones? Thomas Hurt Feb 2020 #5
So did the unredacted report even get to the House, plus all the notes? UTUSN Feb 2020 #7

Do a full report on everything that is outstanding and what the status is.

Sometimes something pops up in memory, and you think, "What happened to that?". Then you Google and nothing about it since 2018. Like Michael Cohen saying trump would tell them to lie about property values for tax purposes and use different values for financial statements. Or all the emolument violations. Is that all dead?

We didn't need witnesses just go with report. I think if trump ends up being unstoppable we can point to the moment we did not immediately call the actions in the report impeachable. Or at a very meager minimum, Censure the bastard.

If the courts won’t enforce congressional subpoenas, Congress has no choice but to enforce them itself.

Congressional marshals, let the arrests begin. Congress may need to expand its jail.

Odd ruling. I would like to see the court’s logic.
