House Democrats want documents from the White House they think can shed light on internal corruption. You’ll never guess how the White House is responding.

Donald Trump’s White House attorneys are preparing to tell a key congressional panel investigating the administration “to go fuck themselves,” as a person familiar with the deliberations characterized them to The Daily Beast.

According to three sources familiar with the situation, the White House counsel’s office, currently headed by Pat Cipollone, was still, as of Thursday morning, in the process of drafting a letter responding to the House Judiciary Committee’s request for a wide array of documents.

The documents requested by the Democratic-run committee are part of the sweeping and long-telegraphed inquiry into a range of Trump administration and Trump-associate activities earlier this month.

Cipollone’s letter response to the committee is essentially similar to one he sent to the oversight, foreign affairs and intelligence committees, which Politico reported on Thursday. Those committees, along with the Ways and Means panel, coordinate regularly over their complementary investigations into the administration.

1. Then the House Democrats respond with Subpoenas

Team Trump still refuses and it goes to court

Team Trump loses, but slow walks the release of documents

It goes to court again and Team Trump is ordered to speed up the release of documents.

They speed it up a little, but not much

and so on, and so forth.

12. Trump did this when his business records were subpoenaed years ago.

I think he claimed the files were scattered around and then they were lost in a fire. He doesn't have a dog, so he couldn't use that excuse. Congress must outwit this dimwit. Otherwise he runs out the clock again.

2. House Democrats response should be to put a hold on any further funding for the White House and

the Secret Service for anything other than their work on the grounds of the White House itself.
Lets see Trump cry like the big man baby we know he is when he cannot go to Mar-a-Lago.

13. Love that!

3. So the WH lawyers think Trump is above the LAW????

then they are laughing in the face of and shitting on the very US Constitution that says otherwise.

It is time for more people to take to the streets, march in front of the White House, hammer their Congressional Reps and Senators to hold Trump accountable for his corruption.

Let the media be ever so aggressive in reporting that Trump is acting like a DICKtator. Robert Mueller, the SDNY, the State of New York just became more important if Trump is not going to cooperate with Congress. There should be a widespread denouncement at the Capitol about this.

5. Go at these criminals hard at all angles...

Trump is destroying America and what we stand for!

6. I keep thinking that there must be a point at which Republicans in the House and Senate will

finally say that Trump has gone too far. Whatever that point is, it hasn't been reached, yet Republicans want to be regarded as patriots. SMH

9. been thinking that for 2.5 years

seems there is no low bar for the repug senators, they are getting so much they've wanted for decades, and packing courts to ensure it all lasts...

10. Would this get these people thinking? Could the AND announce that any lawyer helping

Any gov't branch(e.g. the executive) to defy the Constitution will be investigated? It's ridiculous that we've seen how lawyers will sell out to money or power.

11. Oopa...AND should read ABA.

15. and there are to be no more indictments coming from the Mueller investigation

according to news reports tonight so it looks like spanky & his fascist party have everything under control. Don't look for the justice system or the House to rid us of the nazis.
