It’s setting a precedent that a president can be subpoenaed to testify before Congress. 🤔 (Apparently the last time that happened was when Gerald Ford defended his pardon of Nixon) > [@](#): > > In an effort to quell the ensuing political firestorm, Ford on this day in 1974 testified before the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee. His testimony sought to justify his decision, which barred Congress and the courts from pursuing judicial action against Nixon. Ford was the first president to testify before the House since Abraham Lincoln did so during the Civil War.

It would have to be **far** more fictionalized than _Oh, Mary_ is—Melania is SO much duller than was MTL. ---

I’d like to see Slick Willie get immunity, then describe in detail the multiple orgies with underage girls he and that Asshole participated in. Insinuate that video exists… maybe a copy could be produced… Shit, Meet Fan. ---

And you’d be right - though in fairness to the other posters, _Six_ is in part an extended homage to the “Cell Block Tango” number from _Chicago._ ---

Trump says that now that he has been exonerated, it’s time for the country to move on. I guess he’ll just tell Congress to cancel the Clinton testimony.

He hates Kaitlyn because she’s pretty and won’t bang him. I hate her (well, I dislike her) because she’s standing 10 feet away, on camera, and won’t say _“No, that’s wrong", “No, that is a lie”, “No, there is no evidence of any election fraud”_…. blah blah blah. She is just as big a part of the problem. You are a Journalist. Call out the Bullshit. She just stood there and took it. ---
