Pelosi Statement on Trump Administration Refusal to Comply with House Subpoenas
October 8, 2019
Press Release
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released this statement when the White House asserted that the Administration will not comply with House Committee subpoenas as part of the impeachment inquiry, making false claims about the Constitution, House rules and House precedent:
“For a while, the President has tried to normalize lawlessness. Now, he is trying to make lawlessness a virtue. The American people have already heard the President’s own words – ‘do us a favor, though.’ The President’s actions threaten our national security, violate our Constitution and undermine the integrity of our elections. The White House letter is only the latest attempt to cover up his betrayal of our democracy, and to insist that the President is above the law.
“This letter is manifestly wrong, and is simply another unlawful attempt to hide the facts of the Trump Administration’s brazen efforts to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections. Despite the White House’s stonewalling, we see a growing body of evidence that shows that President Trump abused his office and violated his oath to ‘protect, preserve and defend the Constitution.’
“The White House should be warned that continued efforts to hide the truth of the President’s abuse of power from the American people will be regarded as further evidence of obstruction.
“Mr. President, you are not above the law. You will be held accountable.”

Necessary statement, BRDS!
And you just keep at them. You have people who SHOULD know better working in there giving them horrible advice with the delusion that they will get a pardon. They might be in for a rude awakening... and a criminal scorned...? Well look out! 
But once again, some on social media are questioning her. "Just call the vote, Nancy."
Like that will change things. Dotard and his minions will still obstruct.
then NY will (and pardons don't apply to state charges). They are getting their ducks in a row.
