Why hasn't the Interpreter from tRump's putin party been subpoenaed?

The MSM is all over this, but how the fuck does the treasonous orange maggot get away with confiscating and hiding all the notes from his 5 meetings with Putin?

His usual arrogant actions seems so blatantly wrong and very possibly reflects national security concerns!

Rant over

Actually, rant not over till we lock him up!

He was a NY rep. I was unfamiliar with (not Nadler). He said they are still staffing the committees and will then ask the translator to come voluntarily, either in closed or open session. He said he hopes they will cooperate and thinks sibpoenas should be a last resort.

Unfortunately, I think Trump will try to stop the interpreter testimony by invoking executive privilege or some other baseless reason. Then, they will be forced to issue subpoenas...and it will go to the Supreme Court. Sigh.

On the notes tRump would likely edit or rewrite them, do lets hope Mueller brings forth real evidence which leads to indictment.

At least give them time to turn on the lights in the committee room, talk to their counsel and draft the documents ...

I'm just growing very impatient. Due process seems to be taking way too long.

At least with Dems having The House now, due process will move forward!

Things don't work that way. First of all, taking the interpreters notes is not a crime in and of itself. The house needs to gather information and build a case, which they are doing.There's a process for all of this, and they're following it and, unlike the GOP witch-hunts, they're doing it right.

Take a breath and calm down. You have no idea what's happening behind the scenes.

Thanks Effie

Just saw his vile face onTV spewing desperation.

Sometimes, I wish this shit did not get to me so much.

To the gym I go!
