You don't ignore congressional subpoenas unless there's something you don't want Congress and the public to know about.

I don't want to start an argument here, but kinda starting to think that SOME of this is actually just "F-you .. why don't you make me?" crap. Belligerence and obstruction, just because that is the way Trump plays the game.

It is not the worst cover-up since Watergate. It is the worst EVER.. in American history.


NOTHING even comes close.

And the biggest thing is not the cover-up..
It is REPUBLICANS who, in my view, are guilty of treason-

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
