Just saw that on morning Joe this morning, and he's right, that's hard to believe!
Even if you ignore Trump himself, Scott Pruitt? Betsy Devos? Ben Carson? Ryan Zinke?
Even ignoring Trump, had Nunes and company done their job, not the job of sycophants protecting King TangFace's regime, there should have been a record number!:roll:
Oh boy, this next two years will NOT be fun for the Trumpster fire team. :2rofll:

It's certainly a fact that Republican House and Senate committees talked to a lot of Trump administration current and former officials. The fact that those officials didn't resist any invitations to talk is why there were no subpoenas issued.
So, what we have here is a case of Joe...and you, markjs...only focusing on part of an issue in order to advance a dishonest implication.
Thread dismissed...
They didn't subpoena any records to verify anything that was said. They didn't do their job. Don't worry, Dems will do it for them.
I'm not familiar with the subpoena process, but aren't the people listed other than Trump, Department Secretaries or Department heads who regularly testify before Congress?
I'm just not clear that this is a meaningful measure.
The two are very different. When testifying to Congress, only a few congress members get to ask questions, they are limited in time, and the witness can easily dodge questions.
With a subpeona, the person must hand over all requested evidence, no matter how extensive or time consuming it is.

I would have thought that all the members of the relevant committees would be the ones asking the questions. The testimonies I've seen over the years will often take questions offline and the Secretary will respond in writing.
I'm still not clear that this is a meaningful measure.
On the contrary, Trump seems to relish just these types of fights.Just saw that on morning Joe this morning, and he's right, that's hard to believe!

The difference is that a subpoena is part of a formal and enforceable order whereas un-subpoenaed testimony is voluntarily given.
While it's so that the 115th Congress hasn't subpoenaed any Admin. officials, that they haven't isn't the problem. The problem is that the 115th Congress has allowed Admin. witnesses to get off easy, so to speak...not requiring sworn testimony, allowing non-answers to direct questions, allowing refusals to answer.
Where the absence of subpoenas is relevant is in the 115th Congress' going out of its way not to subpoena witnesses (Administration or not) who might reasonably have germane information. I mean really, there's not a good reason to abjure asking someone questions about what they did, didn't do, why, why not, etc.
What'll be interesting to see is whether House Dems dusts-off its contempt power.
- Power of Legislatures to Punish for Contempt
- Congress’s Contempt Power and the Enforcement of Congressional Subpoenas:Law, History, Practice, and Procedure
- Jurney v. MacCracken
- Suggested to me as worth becoming familiar with in light of the likelihood of Trump's tax returns being subpoenaed:
The point was already made much more concisely by the other poster.
On the contrary, Trump seems to relish just these types of fights.
Being a NYC street fighter, with the base nearly 100% behind him after two years of straight bs from the deep state [yup, PROVEN now], the MSM 90+ negative coverage [1st pres not to visit troops, oh, he did? well, only because we, the press, criticized him :lamo ], the steadily losing it Dem party ...and the recalcitrant too many of his own party [ mercifully many got the messages, stepped down]... Trump loves to be swinging, landing punches. Wonder how many of Nancy's skeletons will surface, Chuckies? HillBillary's have been exposed, no putting that toothpaste now outta, back in, the tube. Same in spades with Comey, McCabe, Strzok/Page, the Ohr's, Steele, Clapper, Brennan, Rice, et al.
We got plenty of dynamite ammunition, Trump kept his powder dry, held our fire in abeyance. Plenty of real, not the constant duds, our bombshells when finally launched are ready to explode on scene. Timing totally up to Trump. Then the dumb Dem's have painted themselves into the corner on border security, visually waved off an unbelievable offer on DACA, a deal they cannot refuse but stupidly did just so...on video and audio promoting a wall...slenderman, Chuckie, the fat lady all voted for it...too too delicious.
So many of these just waiting to be exploited. Low hanging hand grenades... no batteries needed, only a simple pin pull necessary.
I imagine just in the area of Chinese bribes distributed that our intelligence agencies have no doubt captured, documented will, if Trump wants to make use of them [and he should] come into play...time to empty the swamp. There to be done, hope Trump does it.
I suppose he does chance being Kennedied, however.
Not everybody is, can be or is willing to be, on the dishonest payroll. Need the new Elliot Ness, the good guy willing to be tough and clean. Trump has thus far proven himself, even with the pressures, the full use of the federal govt to compose, untouchable.
As to the other, those, when an actual crime is put forward, those being potentially valid, are investigations I welcome. If they are just additional witch hunts, the Dem party will become even more of a laughing and we will win back a ton of seats in the next election when Trump will be again running... against who? Avenatti? The fat lady again? Bernie or Gaffing Joe sidestepping the grave digger holes for a short while? Mayb a Cuban-Castro ticket... or maybe a less than 1%er, Pocahantas-Spartacus ticket? Michelle-Oprah or would it be Oprah- Michelle... that in itself will be a helavah cat fight just to see who heads that ticket.
2019? Fun fun.
