6. Pretty Sure This Is A Loser.

The ability to issue subpoenas, by both the House and Senate, has been upheld at the DC Court of Appeals and in SCOTUS rulings. Although in the Mazars case (Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent’s former accountant), the Roberts court held that Congress’ subpoenas are legitimate, but in issues that involve “separation of powers”, courts must “…apply a tailored analysis to determine whether such subpoenas are valid.”

This assclown doesn’t meet that standard. He’s not in the same galaxy. Hell, he’s not even in the same universe as a separation of powers issue.

This asshat needs to just sit down and STFU.
