White House weighs blocking Comey's testimony

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House faces a dilemma over whether to try to block former FBI Director James Comey’s highly anticipated testimony before Congress next week about his conversations with President Trump.

By scheduling a hearing next Thursday, the Senate Intelligence Committee is forcing Trump to decide if he wants to invoke executive privilege in an attempt to stop his fired FBI chief from speaking.

Comey is expected to be asked about a number of his private conversations with Trump, including one in which the president reportedly asked him to ease off an investigation into ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn and another in which Trump allegedly asked for the law enforcement official's loyalty.

The former FBI director is said to have kept detailed notes about his talks with Trump and revealing their contents could prove damaging to the president.

1. Only guilty presidents invoke EP. nt

2. No legal basis to request court order ...any claim of Exec Priv was blown by *45's own actions...

So as much as everyone in the WH would like to make Comey's opportunity to testify go away...
they have no weapons at their disposal...

Now they have to rely on KGOP to essentially OBSTRUCT
By asking completely off topic questions
and generally wasting time &
Trying to interrupt Comey when he is on topic...

Fully expect Nunes to streak thru the chamber...
Shouting
"Streaker on the loose!!
Catch that Streaker" as he goes by... twice.

And for there to be a conveniently timed loss of power ....

Maybe even the flashing of shiny objects and
light shows by laser pointers all across the ceiling...
Random exclamations of "Squirrel!"

Keebler Elf & *45
Taking turns screaming "objection!!!"
Over the PA System...

Something along those lines.....

3. Nunes streaking?

What a disgusting thought.
