VOA News: Two More Former White House Officials Subpoenaed
WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed two more former top White House officials after ex-White House Counsel Donald McGahn ignored his subpoena to testify about President Donald Trump’s alleged obstruction of justice.
Democratic chairman Jerrold Nadler says the committee wants to hear from former communications director Hope Hicks and McGahn’s former chief of staff Annie Donaldson.

The House Judiciary Committee should get over losing the 2016 election and do some real work.
Michael Keohane (947544) — 5/22/2019 @ 4:43 amThe White House Press Secretary should end each news conference with “And today was the ____ day that the House ignored the pople’s business.”

about to passa bill to make available to Congress, Trump’s New York State tax returns.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/22/nyregion/trump-state-tax-returns.html
By hook or by crook they will get them. And then do their own audit, or find conflicts of interest, or something unethical.
Sammy Finkelman (102c75) — 5/22/2019 @ 12:41 pmThey also passed a bill yesterday to make duble jeopardy protections not sappply to some federal pardons. (New Yrk is a state where a person acquitted in federal court cannot be prosecuted in state court for essentially the same acts. The reverse does not apply)

Both bills are narrowly drafted, but not so narrowly drafted that they will fall to any bill of attainder type claim.
It;s like those New York State laws that apply only to “a city with a population of one million or more,”

It is possible that the Democrats may make ignoring those subpoenas the grounds for impeachment.
