Three U.S. House of Representatives committees subpoenaed Perry on Oct. 10 for any role he played in Trump’s push to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate his political rival, former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden and his son. “Even if the inquiry was validly authorized, much of the information sought in the subpoena appears to consist of confidential Executive Branch communications that are potentially protected by executive privilege,” said the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.
The energy department’s response follows the lead of the White House, which has said it would refuse to cooperate with an “illegitimate, unconstitutional” congressional impeachment inquiry.
Officially a lawless administration.
Lock him up
Ok...total disregard for the rule of law. Then let’s just lock Rick Perry up and disregard due process. Since we can pick and choose which laws we want to accept, that would be a start.
Subpoena him. If he doesn’t show, throw him in jail.
He needs to be put in jail. He will sing.
Obstruction
No vote, no validity, use subpoenas as asswipe.
Shocker! 🙄
Sounds like a plan.
Wouldn't it be epic, if this all ends like all dictatorship? The dictator is rushed overnight on a plane to exile with his family. Norway here we come...
This is not how it’s supposed to work, people.
LockHimUp
Put him in jail.
Perry your not bright enough not to comply, best be biting the bullet now and just maybe you'll be able to convince the house you were played by Trump and the boys, if not your gonna go down too. Should had stayed in Texas, mister.
Woooooow.
Again, what would happen to we the people if we didn't comply? LockThemAllUp AboveTheLaw
Then subpoena him and - if he does not comply - arrest him.
Resist ✊🤣
Before or after he resigns?
Cut from trump cloth
Contempt!
I'm sure Trump has already both guaranteed a pardon and pointed out what a shame it would be if anything happened to his family
Subpoena the bastards and if they do not comply, put them in jail. This is not the time to be the nice guys!! Come on!!
How can they just NOT COMPLY?
throw him in JAIL
