Trump has reacted to the latest subpoena of one of his administration officials by attacking the Democratic chairman of the House intelligence committee.

Hasn’t Adam Schiff been fully discredited by now? Do we have to continue listening to his lies?
Gordon Sondland said in a statement earlier today that he was “profoundly disappointed” he could not appear before Congress, so it will likely be much harder for Trump to prevent him from testifying now that he has been subpoenaed.
On the one hand they can’t – legally speaking – just ignore a subpoena; on the other hand these are Trump and the trumpies, so they probably will. Then what?
Trump’s made his move. The White House sent a letter to Pelosi – eight pages basically saying ‘stick your inquiry where the sun don’t shine but make sure to leave room to wedge your subpoenas and depositions alongside.’ A total refusal to even acknowledge the legitimacy of the inquiry.

Somebody should be held in contempt. What is Congress waiting for?
The response to the subpoena, I think. A few hours? I doubt they’re giving them more than today.
