Why is the Trump White House so afraid of the truth?

No, they don't want Don McGahn to testify.

No, they don't want Bob Mueller to testify.

No, they will go to Court to prevent anyone knowing what is in Mr Trump's tax returns.

No, they will not make their finances available to anyone.

What are they hiding?

Is it possible that the truth would be a threat to our national security?

How much longer should our Congress continue to operate on blind faith?

It is a national security issue.

How much longer can they continue to hide the truth from Congress and the American people?

We have the right to know who the president is doing business with. It is irresponsible to say that it doesn't matter or that it is none of our business.

republicans reject the American values of honesty, decency, caring, sharing, respect, and loyalty to the USA.

They have their own perverse crapload of "values" - lying, cheating, stealing, screwing taxpayers, polluting, war-mongering for profit, and treasonous Russian ass-kissing, for example.

His illegitmacy as president will expose him and many other republicans as corrupt criminals working for Putin because they are compromised from it.

Democratic committees are at the stage of issuing subpoenas. They must not ignore building a solid case because not to do so could jeopardize the outcome over a technicality

They do well not to ignore the criminality of the present obstruction of justice by William Barr, Minuchin, Trump’s staff and Trump’s family in their zeal to go after Trump only?

Every step the Democrats are taking now is building a solid foundation instead of the quicksand that rushing and cutting corners would be.

It’s self defeating to believe Trump’s lawyers won’t look for loopholes and technicalities to get him off. The Democrats must be proactive or all the work will be for nothing.

the "liberal" media should be asking every chance they get. Maybe Sarah Huckelbuck could explain.
