Seems like I heard that same nonsense before
Mueller is coming :batman:
Keep in mind, the impeachment inquiry started before this latest WB episode, which seemed to fast track public support for an impeachment investigation.
The basic theory I'm reading from my biased sources go something like this:
Don McGahn was a key witness to several obstructive acts in the Mueller report.
House Judiciary subpoenaed him in April but WH is arguing "absolute immunity" for him to testify. District court hearing on that is Oct 31.
House Dems brought Hope Hicks in before starting an impeachment inquiry. She answered almost nothing and claimed "absolute immunity" on the record.
Then House Judiciary started an impeachment inquiry and brought in Lewandowski who basically did the same thing.
The theory is, the ridiculousness of this "absolute immunity" defense will be bolstered by Hicks' and Lewandowski's "testimony". That those called to testify would claim the same immunity and behave the same whether during public hearings or during an impeachment investigation. That this would be more reasons why McGahn's testimony is critical for congress to be able to investigate.
Cue the Lucy football gif.
