OPINION | "Trump’s Defense Against Subpoenas Makes No Legal Sense"
"This is malarkey thinly draped with plausible-sounding distortions of facts, rules, court opinions, and the Constitution itself," @FOBowman3 writes in @TheAtlantic: bit.ly/2tWYmbu

Trump knows it makes no sense. He uses the law to delay. Been waiting for his tax returns over four years, still in Supreme Court along with the Houses request for financials from Deutsche Bank AG and NY information request for ongoing investigations.

That’s because they aren’t attempting to make a legal argument, they’re attempting to use legal sounding language to give R Senators a bit of cover.

They don't care. This whole thing is Rethugliwads posturing for the primaries.

I don’t understand how Republicans don’t get that if Trump gets away with this, there is literally no subpoena that the Executive Branch has to comply with unless & until there is a SCOTUS ruling ordering them to (or until it denies cert). Is that really how they want this to go?

What kills me is that Republicans probably don’t care about how this guts congressional oversight and subpoena power because they know a Democratic president would never make such a bad faith argument. It sucks being the only team who plays by the rules.

GOP will immediately claim Frank Bowman is a "tool of the left" and the sound you hear will be logic dying ever so slowly. RIP Common Sense.
