Oh Hell Yes
Y’all, I am a happy woman.
Yep. He has to bring his happy butt to testify before congress where oppsies aren’t allowed. Get the team together for watch parties.
Perry on Thursday was subpoenaed by the three House committees — Oversight, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs — leading the investigation into whether Trump abused his power by pushing Ukraine to investigate political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Now this means he has to tell the same story three times. He can’t do that. He can’t tell the same story twice, Honey.
RickPerry at the Intelligence Committee! Here, take my money and give me a ticket.
But it’s just subpoena. Under current rules of engagement, Team R says nope, not gonna appear. Team D takes umbrage and writes a sternly worded tweet. Game over. Whatchagonna do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1I hate to say this Juanita Jean, but at the rate Republicans are quitting, being subpoenaed and maybe indicted you are not going to have a Republican candidate in Texas!
I am willing to lend you a couple of mine, Gym Jordan or Mike DeWine!

Boo!
3There are subpoenas for you and you and you and you….

4Reminds me of those pain charts showing your level of discomfort.
5Anybody who refuses to appear, or appears and refuses to testify, for a Congressional subpoena can be slapped into the hoosegow until they figure out that it in their best interest to cooperate.
And it’s time to start doing just that.
6I totally agree re: the hoosegow. These creeps have been getting away with too much obstruction of justice for too long.
Hey, Donnie–you work for us, not Vlad.
7I am surprised I have not heard any mention of the 1998 Court case compelling secret service to testify about Bill Clinton.
8In that decision (Rubin v. United States, 524 U.S. 1301 (1998) by Judge Norma Holloway Johnson as cited by NYT’s article (https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/politics/052398clinton-starr-t.html), cannot find text of full decision on line, she affirmed that all government officials have an affirmative requirement to report any criminal activity, or implicit attempted, they may be aware of an obligation that pierces any other “privileges” i.e. executive privilege.
She also expressed extreme concern about any “new” privileges that the executive branch would attempt to assert.(i.e. Corey Lewandski) Demented donnies minions claiming privilege that protects them for not testifying about anything regarding the doddering don.
With the reports of the concerns of security officials that syphilitic donnie had committed a criminal act in his Ukrainian phone call could this be used as cudgel against non responsive officials.
Or in Perry’s case as an active participant in the crime.
Rick Perry testifying about intelligence matters? Something wrong there…
9I agree — Rick Perry and the Intelligence Committee is both an amusing irony and a contradiction of terms. I’d LOVE to see him being questioned in a Congressional hearing, but I’m sure he’ll hide behind Trump’s assertions of executive privilege, rants about a witch hunt and efforts to obstruct the impeachment proceedings against him.
10OOPS…
11All those people in prison for weed possession – empty their cells (why in the hell are they still in prison for what is now a legal substance in half the states anyway). We need to make room for this entire administration.

‘Tip of the Iceberg’: Prosecutors Allege Vast Criminal Conspiracy by Giuliani Associates to Funnel Foreign Cash to Trump and GOP
“To a prosecutor’s eye, this really looks increasingly like one big scheme, overseen by Trump and Giuliani, to obtain illegal assistance from Ukraine in the 2020 election.”

13Tell the same story three times? He can’t even remember three short items on a list of three!
14WA Skeptic @7 – I am sorry but I must respectfully disagree with you. For the last 3 years plus Donnie has made it crystal clear that he DOES work for Vlad, not the American people.
15Thomas Henderson once remarked about Terry Bradshaw that he couldn’t spell cat if you spotted him the C & the A. Good hair has that problem as well so having an intelligence committee waste their time on him seems pointless.
