The concrete thing I can't find anywhere is the actual, on-paper set of rules this people set up, ideally grafted to some kind of explanation on why this ruleset made any sense in context.

Speaking in the most general sense possible, having your armed forces firmly under control is traditionally a core part of staying in power; it's also very generally true that no person making the rules is going to actively hinder their own ability to keep doing so.

That's why it's super important to keep them aware that the little people are watching and taking notes; that's literally the only trump card we all have.

Look, I'm asking for an actual memo here, I'm not interested in playing whatever game you seem to want to play.

Can you help me find this thing please?

From this point forward: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/04/24/us/p... the DOJ has allowed the WH to refuse to comply with a bunch of subpoenas, and there's no amount of partisan rhetoric that can hide that fact. It's simply not up for debate, sorry.

That said, I don't know what are they standing on to be able to do that without any court just sending them all to jail.

Congress was explicitly told they could not do this by the DOJ, but news weren't clear on the legal reasoning, relaying instead the handwavy explanation by Barr on the popelike infallibility of the president's office.

I'm really curious about the actual legal reasoning behind this, it's got to be a fascinating read.

What's the legal reasoning (if there's any) to keep her locked up and ruin her financially while not being able to swing the same punishment at all those people who refused to testify in the recent impeachment?

What even was the point of putting them there in the first place? It's a freaking gunboat.

You want this things to have a single clear mode of operation. You're using this to kill people, not play games. Clarity and intent of use are paramount here, over sweet transitions and looks

The invisible hand of the market seems to know what shame is. Good.

Disney, Sony and their many tentacles randomly steal from youtubers ALL THE TIME, then are expected to review claims of wrongdoing by themselves on good faith, and this is about as "creator friendly" Google will ever get. Those rules suck. It's time to leave for greener pastures.
