DOJ says executive branch witnesses MUST be allowed to bring lawyers
2019-11-06
[Right Scoop] The DOJ has published a new memo explaining that Democratic House committees investigating Trump’s impeachment MUST allow White House attorney’s present or the testimonies will be legally invalid:

It’s sad that the DOJ would need to put something like this in a memo because it’s common sense that the White House would need to protect executive privilege. Schiff thinks he’s going to win the argument by calling this “obstruction of justice”, but anyone with common sense will see through this. I say that knowing that there are many people out there whose hatred of Trump overrides their common sense.

Regarding Bolton skipping his appearance, rumors that he’s going to show up later this week aren’t true:

#3  Impeachment is not a 'legal' process but a political one

Maybe the process should be a legal process. As it is now, impeachment seems to violate several Constitutional rights of POTUS.

#1  Impeachment is not a 'legal' process but a political one, and the power to set the rules for it is vested in the House, so it could be argued that there is no legal right to a lawyer - or that there is. It would probably have to go to the Supreme Court, where Roberts would have to decide whether his personal secrets were more important than impeachment processes...
