Did you see the letter from Obama's legal counselor?

She wrote:

"I can only conclude that your decision to issue a subpoena, authorized by a party-line vote, was driven more by partisan politics than a legitimate effort to conduct a responsible investigation," Obama's counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler, wrote in a letter to the top Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce committee.

What the hell?!?!?! Who in the hell is she to make that determination or say no to Congress?!?!? A two-bit lawyer is rejecting Congress?!?!?! What the hell?!?!?

The fact of the matter, counselor, is that Congress has spoken!!! Compliance is mandatory!!! A congressional subpoena cannot be denied or rejected.

Congress must immediately subpoena Kathryn Ruemmler and the documents that she's and Obama are hiding. Their refusal should result in an immediate prison sentence. Then, Congress must subpoena the same documents from her successor. Continue to rinse and repeat until full disclosure occurs.

Obama and his cronies must be made to realize that this is the United States of America, not a Muslim country in Africa.

That son-of-a-bitch must be impeached, NOW! If mass Black riots break out, so be it. Let's go!!! -nfg-

The term "subpoena request" is on oxymoron. A subpoena is a legal order.

From the White House's own web page...

whitehouse.gov

excerpt:

Both chambers of Congress have extensive investigative powers, and may compel the production of evidence or testimony toward whatever end they deem necessary. Members of Congress spend much of their time holding hearings and investigations in committee. Refusal to cooperate with a Congressional subpoena can result in charges of contempt of Congress, which could result in a prison term.
