the question is how long does that win last. this is something that s long-term because essentially with this ruling, with this state, they are inviting them to make a full-throated argument. what are they going to say about this and where does it go from there. it says they re pretty unclear about how this is going to end up. to be clear, part of the white house strategy, is it not, is delay. yes. to push it out. push these witnesses beyond being able to testify in the impeachment inquiry that they may have already won that battle and on taxes trying to push it, well, hopefully beyond the election or at least that s what they re counting on with the mcgahn situation. yes, it could have these far-ranging implications for people like mick mulvaney and john bolton. they are counting on the fact it s not going to affect them now and could help them later on. we saw this before. the white house had been looking at that harriet miers coase, th counsel to george w. bush. it was d
nixon revised the authority for piercing that. and if you really go with this absolute immunity, in his words, eviscerates congress oversight ability. what about the fact that this entire impeachment is illegitimate, bogus and therefore they don t have to cooperate. will any court find that a reasonable argument? at some point down the line you may see that play out in court. you think about the mcgahn situation. that subpoena was issued early this year. before ukraine. before ukraine and before, certainly, before today s house vote. i think you ll see an argument that the president s advisers could be forced to come and testify. that s not the condition under which mcgahn was subpoenaed. we may see that issue play out. because he was subpoenaed under the mueller report. thanks shan and ross. the new national trump ad.
