WHITE HOUSE expected to send a letter later today to the House that all but throws down the gauntlet

MaliciousKangarooHat Retweeted

The “irregularities” are complaints about the impeachment process that Trump uses as an excuse to stonewall.

But they are not *legal* reasons. Trump asserts that he can ignore his legal obligations because he doesn’t like what Congress is doing.

That’s not how America works.

This is a bullshit power play by the White House and Pelosi should tell them to go fuck themselves. The White House doesn’t get to decide how the House conducts its business.

Stop stonewalling with lame legal tactics. If you’re innocent, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO HIDE?

Running out the clock in the courts is the best option they've got.
