A Good Question From Trump's Defense Team: Why Didn't Pelosi Enforce Supoenas?

Dear F,

"Republican question for Trump team: Does the House’s failure to enforce subpoenas render its "obstruction of Congress" theory unprecedented?" (USA Today excerpt)  
 
Have television pundits talked about Pelosi's failure to enforce supoenas?

There is so much that goes on in American politics that we simply "assume" that "that's the way it is" without having the insight and/or grit to address such matters. 

These issues are "the unspoken elephants" in the room.

Why the hell didn't Pelosi enforce a supoena?

At least one!

Mulvaney.

McGaughan

Barr

Mattis

Kelly

If I were a completely impartial extraterrestrial, I would think Pelosi was being paid off by the GOP.

While we're on the topic...

Why is that there is almost no discussion of "The Imperial Presidency" and how "We the people..." just assume the president should be able to get away with all this shit!

Nick Hanauer, "Sanity Chocolate" and "How Wealth Rules The World"


And now we've come to this... completely within "legal" bounds of what a president can do - at least if he has congressional support.

L’état, C’est Trump," David Leonhardt, New York Times


It's as if liberal-and-progressive intellectuals finally made a persuasive case that most Americans are docile, unthinking sheep, and The Republican Party -- ever on the lookout for self-aggrandizement -- said, "Hey, what d'ya know? They're just f__king sheep! Let's treat 'em like sheep and do whatever the f___ we want!"

Republican Presidential Candidate Pat Buchanan "Summarizes The Republican Philosophy"


Why is there no discussion about devising practical ways a prevent a repetition of this open sewer in future?

WTF is so "untouchable" about "We the people" saying: "Our will is superior to the will of the president. And if he gets seriously out of line -- which is to say if he is guilty of presidential malpractice including repeated, deliberate lying to the American people -- that "alone" will be punishmable by censure if not impeachment.

16,241 lies and deceptions in exactly three years of Toxic Trump's presidency. 

What can we be thinking by allowing this sludge? By permitting an un-potty-trained "adult" to occupy The Oval Office?

Although the following article is rather wordy, it does provide keen insight, in nice historical context.

"The Original Meaning of "High Crimes and Misdemeaors"

If the president is not fundamentally honest, what the hell can we expect but The Hell we've got?
