Trump sues the Jan. 6 House committee to avoid a subpoena

…. The suit filed Friday evening contends that, while former presidents have voluntarily agreed to provide testimony or documents in response to congressional subpoenas in the past, "no president or former president has ever been compelled to do so."

"Long-held precedent and practice maintain that separation of powers prohibits Congress from compelling a President to testify before it," Trump attorney David A. Warrington said in a statement announcing Trump's intentions.

Warrington said Trump had engaged with the committee "in a good faith effort to resolve these concerns consistent with Executive Branch prerogatives and separation of powers," but said the panel "insists on pursuing a political path, leaving President Trump with no choice but to involve the third branch, the judicial branch, in this dispute between the executive and legislative branches."

The committee declined to comment on the filing, which comes days before the the deadline set by the committee for Trump to begin cooperating. But the suit likely dooms the prospect of Trump ever having to testify, given that the committee is expected to disband at the end of the legislative session in January. ….

1. Then there is the DOJ on his tail.....

They have enough evidence to put him in prison for the rest of his miserable life. Just fucking do it, DOJ. Let him squeal to high heaven about how "unfairly" he is being treated.

10. There we go - let's get NIKE to promote it.....

'JUST DO IT!'

or, if they REALLY have the "big cojones" (don't all 'jocks?'):

'JUST FUCKING DO IT!'

That's it, capitalism at its best!

Bottom line (yeah, more 'capitalism'):

NAIL THE MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!

2. How about testifying to a federal grand jury?No separation of powers issue there

[Takket]

3. drumpf isn't the president. so there is no separation of powers argument

and the actual president waived all claims of executive privileged already in regards to this matter.

This is another "throw spaghetti at the wall" argument. Same one that just got drumpf's lawyers fined and sanctioned over their made up lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. you would think they would learn by now that a steaming pile of bullshit looks great on social media and fox news but won't get you anywhere in Court (except for Loose Cannon)

4. Trump's a coward and a seditionist.

He fomented a violent physical attack on a basic governmental process.

[Turbineguy]

5. He can always plead the 5th

you know, the way guilty people do.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. I see what you did there......

We've not heard that from him lately, have we?

[intrepidity]

6. Isn't there a mechanism in place for the suit to be tossed out immediately?

Or for J6 to proceed ignoring it?

[unblock]

7. So basically their argument is that all checks and balances violate separation of powers?

Or that the constitution demands that the executive branch be allowed to plot coups free from congressional questioning?

[Disaffected]

8. Who cares if he testifies or not??

All he would do would is lie, take the 5th, try to turn it into a circus, obfuscate, duck & dodge. IOWs the chances of him providing useful information for the committee would be very low.

[MyOwnPeace]

12. A great point we should never forget......

"....chances of him providing useful information for the committee would be very low."

Low? Certainly lower than whale shit on the bottom of the ocean!

The purpose is to get him "on record" regarding anything and/or everything.

And you are SO correct - EVERYBODY has ALL THEY NEED - just LOCK HIM UP!!!!!!!

ANY other clown would already have at least one year's time served after being locked up for the same crimes!

SERIOUSLY - JUST DO IT!!!!!

9. told you

13. Bill Clinton

VOLUNTARILY went before the House committee investigating him, and even gave a DNA sample.

[BlueIdaho]

14. More nuisance law suits from the fat old man?

Hoping his legal hacks not only get fined but also get disbarred.

[jmowreader]

15. Yeah, yeah Don. Give me a break.

No president ever sent a mob to storm the Capitol because he lost the election before, either.
