Let me help you out

You made a general statement : “you challenge subpoenas to stonewall testimony”

You want to qualify that laughable assertion.

Go ahead
 
There are lots of reasons to challenge subpoenas, and it happens all the time. A banker friend of mine just did and won because the issuer’s demand was impermissably broad and also called for the private information of another party.

Executive privilege is asserted in court. The Dems never challenged Trump’s refusal in court.
 
Nadler wrote Trump a letter and offered him opportunity to participate. Trump chose not to

He is a She. You really don’t know the history here so how can you make a judgement? I already know the truth, . . . I simply do not agree with the leftist version of distorted “truth”.

That’s your believe. Subpoenas get challenge daily for many different reasons in courts. A blanket order is irrelevant, what matters is the law. Biden says he will refuse to testify if a TRIAL subpoena is issued. Is that not obstruction, does he have a right to challenge it? At least Trump has has the legal defense of separation of powers, and subpoenas not issued during trial or proceedings as in accordance with the law, Biden has nothing at this point. If a subpoena is issued to Bolton the President can legally challenge it even if the Chief Justice signs off on it. Get over it.

Dems already dropped bribery like a bad habit when realized ZERO evidence

What else you got?
 
Quote the language where he was offered to have his attorneys there and call his own witnesses

Go ahead
 
All conclusions. No foundation. No criminal allegations; all civil regarding defects in administration. But from the NY AG, exaggerating the outcome is not a great surprise.
 
One minor addition. Biden can take the Fifth if subpoenaed and would probably have to.
 
You are mistaken.
Your friend seems to have properly challenged a subpoena ( there are different kinds in the rules of procedure and so without more, it is not clear what you describe.)This is a Congressional Subpoena.
The order not to testify was not made asserting a valid privilege. In fact Trump never asserted executive privilege to this day. To do that, the witness shows up and the privilege is asserted question by question, to create a record that a court could review. This was not done.
Asking a witness his name, and many other questions, are not privileged. What Trump did was obstruct creating even a valid record.
It would require:
A full round of appeals.
Then, when they show up, if they show up, he asserts privilege then.
Then another full round of appeals.
That is what they refused. His actions were done in bad faith
 
Do you actually maintain that a person who will assert privilege is prohibited from telling the person from whom information is sought that he is going to do it and from instructing the person not to talk to the opposing party?
 
Trump refused to comply with a subpoena. He did not assert privilege.
He blocked witnesses without asserting a privilege.
Bolton refused to testify stating that he would piggy back on a challenge for another witness. Now he will testify. What is the excuse now?

Nonsense.

Where is your evidence that Trump instructed Bolton, Mulvaney, etc not to tell congress their name if asked?

If the Dems wanted to challenge the claim of privilege Trump told them he would invoke, they should have gone forward to trigger the formal claim so they could take it to court. Instead, they sat on their hands so they could impeach before Christmas, and more likely than not already knew they would only get more “in my opinion” “evidence” if that.
 
Absolutely. You assert privilege or you don’t. And there is a particular way to do it. ( Each question. Each piece of documentary evidence)
A privilege LOG is required. You can’t hide the documents identification.

No such thing per your post above, remember? Anyone challenging a subpoena is “stonewalling testimony”

Yeah because the witnesses like Bolton weren’t subpoenaed.

How can Trump assert a privilege on an unsubpoenaed witness?

Unbelievably laughable thus you must be trolling on the trying cases

The witnesses ultimately made their own decision not to testify in the bunker during the Schiff private hearings. Some did. Again read the law on Obstruction of Justice, subpoenas must be issued during actual proceedings, they weren’t.
 
First. This is a Congressional Subpoena as I said.
Second, witnesses show up voluntarily all the time. At their deposition privilege is asserted, vel non, question by question.
