Bannon claimed "executive privilege" on Tuesday, and so did Lewandowski yesterday. If there is nothing to hide as some say, why not just answer all of the committee's questions? It was also reported that Bannon's lawyer was relaying the questions from the committee real time to the White House, and they responded and told Bannon not to answer them.

For there to be no wrong doing, folks close to the president are going out of their way to make sure questions don't get answered. How can that not raise eyebrows, even for staunch conservatives?
Simple. They want to shut the information off before they all go to jail. Ain't going to work, though.

We will have to see about that.

But they have all the information they need in that dossier. Steele/Simpson only need to provide their sources so those crimes listed in the dossier can be proven. Blackmail, kickbacks and money laundering..those are all crimes.

Yep, a year, and a half later, and still not a single shred of evidence to prove these crimes.

Come to find out. Mueller did no such thing.

The intelligence committee requested he answer questions and when he used executive privilege, they subpoenaed him, which forces him to answer. It also allows him time to consult with his legal advisers.

It appears you are not keeping up with this "dossier" business. Much of what is contained is already known and other parts are being corroborated as we go along. I've posted the links several times. Do I need to post again or can you do your own research?

Some of the sources were revealed to Trump. Don't you remember? He insisted on before he would believe the "dossier."

Shortly thereafter, the Russian guy who was the most likely source of some of the information in the "dossier" was found dead in the trunk of his car.

Foul play is suspected.

That is true. It isn't. Have you gone and read the US code for all instances where "collusion" occurs in the text? I have. None of it is even close to relevant or applicable to anything a political operative could do in the course of employment, and it certainly has got nothing to do with Russia.

You really need to learn how to use Google or Bing or search engine of some sort.

There are two subpoenas. One from the Mueller investigation and one from the House Intel committee.

The strange thing about the subpoena from the House Intel committee is that they have been perfectly fine with all sorts of witnesses stonewalling them. So why the subpoena for Bannon?

Could it be that they want to find out what he is going to say before he says it to Mueller?

With neither Steele nor Simpson talking what you posted is mere rumor.

Our government has had that dossier since July 2016 and still cannot verify the "crimes" in it.
Seems Steele's sources are better than ours..a small private company vs an entire government.

Nope. Not a rumor. The guy is dead. Found in the trunk of his Lexus.
