Some alternative "defenses" the White House might try if "constitutional immunity" doesn't fly:

"the Mothership has instructed us not to testify";

"the planets' alignment contra-indicates subpoena compliance";

"no one in America except the Democrat snowflakes cares if we are treason-weasels";

"it's a grand old flag!";

"Washington and Lincoln never got subpoenas";

"this falcon cannot hear the falconer";

"but---her emails!"

All the above are just as valid and relevant as the "we just pulled this out of our ass" defense of "constitutional immunity".

They may try the Homer Stokes (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) defense:

"These boys is not white! These boys is not white! Hell, they ain't even old timey!
This band of mistreants, this very evening, interfered with a lynch mob in the performance of its duty!"
