So you don't wonder why Trump won't sign a bill to enforce a sanctions against Russia, the country that interfered with our elections? Only that Congress has the option to override his veto?
If inventors throughout history had the level of curiosity you display, we'd still be living in caves.
I well understand why he won't sign the bill. Putin has his hooks in him, and is quite possibly blackmailing him, if you believe any or all of the independent accounts.
Trump is caught in the middle. He can't lift the existing sanctions because of Congress, and he can't impose new ones because of Putin. I don't imagine Donnie sleeps very much any more.

That's why Trump won't release his financial records either. There is a Russian trail as long as Florida in those records. Putin has something strong on Donnie boy.

He doesn't have to any more. I saw an article today that Mueller has them already. If I'm not mistaken, it said Mueller has both his business records and his tax returns.
When Donnie got in trouble and American banks wouldn't talk to him any more, he cast around looking for a cash infusion. He eventually got the money through Deutschebank, where Putin is a big depositor. If Trump didn't have something of value for collateral, he may have needed someone to cosign to get a loan.
That's where the plot thickens, with Trump Tower condos being sold above market value for cash and dmoney moving in numbered accounts through the Bank of Cyprus. It's way too complicated to understand everything that happened if you are not a banker or an investigator and don't have the records to study, but it may be interesting what Bobby finds in the Deutschebank records he requested and received.
I can almost guarantee Donnie isn't going to get bored before Summer gets here.
The Constitution granted the powers of contempt to only two entities; Congress and the Courts.
It's a formidable power that was once only the right of Kings. It's the only legal power to imprison that carries no fixed penalty, and can be applied instantly. If a Congressional committee declares a witness is in contempt, the Justice Department is compelled to arrest him, using Federal Marshals, and the person goes straight to jail.
And then he stays there until he decides to cooperate. And then, he has to appeal to be freed to testify. Congress' power can deny his appeal, and they can leave him in prison for as long as they want before setting him free to testify.
In our past, for some who defied this power, the result was a lifetime sentence behind bars. Or, in one instance, a lifetime banishment to a deserted off-shore island within our oceanic boundaries.
I would love to watch Bannon try it though... he's supposed to be quite the military historian. He should already know what his fate could be, as those lifetime sentences were all handed down by joint military/congressional tribunals.
Jeff Sessions can't help him if he does; no one can, even the President.
My God! You guys clearly didn’t pay any attention during Hillary’s congressional hearings.
Yes, you can ignore a subpoena from congress. And yes, you can get away with it.
We all saw it two years ago. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that is where Bannon got the idea from.
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon reportedly does not intend to testify before the House Intelligence committee
just say No.....lol
Worked for lois lerner and Hillary's IT guy.
Immunity was handed out like candy to those testifying about Hillary.
Head of VA feigned memory loss, oh so did Hillary who claimed that 50 something times. But who is counting.
