    1. The craziest part of all this is all outcomes are bad 1) righteously angry Obama folks sue successfully on the now-precedential McGahn ruling, saying that no associate of a President need ever show up,let alone assert privileges. This breaks Congressional subpoena power forever. @mkraju/1263139954147889153

    2) Because they're not lawless idiots like McGahn, or determined to shatter the legislative branch like the courts, those subpoenaed show up, make intelligent objections as to privilege, and generally lay out the facts to the Senate committee, making Senators look like morons.

      It's clear now that we're at the "Mugabe is our king" phase of the GOP as Trump's party. They're going to drive into a brick wall for Dear Leader, at the cost of their integrity, their legal prerogatives, and likely both. Their ideas are gone; all that's left is the abyss.
