The Washington Post - Guiliani says he ‘can’t imagine’ administration officials will appear before Intelligence Committee
October 8 at 3:16 PM
Trump personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani said Tuesday that he would not cooperate with House investigators and that he “can’t imagine” that anyone from the Trump administration would appear before a Democratic-led panel investigating the president.
Giuliani’s comments came hours after the State Department blocked a scheduled deposition by Gordon Sondland, a key figure in the Ukraine controversy, prompting three House committee chairman to announce that they would issue a subpoena.
The Democrats said they considered the move to be “obstruction of the impeachment inquiry,” while President Trump sought to justify it by calling the House committees investigating him a “kangaroo court.”
Meanwhile, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said he would invite Giuliani to appear before his panel to testify about “corruption and other improprieties involving Ukraine” - a prospect that Senate Democrats said they would welcome. ...

The New York Times - White House Declares War on Impeachment Inquiry ...
Oct. 8, 2019
WASHINGTON - The White House declared war on the House impeachment inquiry on Tuesday, announcing that it would not cooperate with what it called an illegitimate effort “to overturn the results of the 2016 election” and setting the stage for a constitutional clash with far-reaching consequences.
In a letter to House Democratic leaders, the White House said the inquiry had violated precedent and denied President Trump’s due process rights in such an egregious way that neither he nor the executive branch would willingly provide testimony or documents.
“Your unprecedented actions have left the president with no choice,” said the letter signed by Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel. “In order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the executive branch and all future occupants of the office of the presidency, President Trump and his administration cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.”
But in refusing to cooperate with what Mr. Trump on Tuesday called a “kangaroo court,” the president risked ensuring the very outcome he would rather avoid.
House Democrats made clear that his failure to comply with their demands for information could form the basis for its own article of impeachment. ...

Here's a first - I'm posting a pro-Republican cartoon - because it's very well done, and I loved the old 1960s Addams Family TV series ...
The Addams Family is a fictional household created by American cartoonist Charles Addams.
The Addams Family has traditionally included Gomez and Morticia Addams, their children Wednesday and Pugsley, close family members Uncle Fester and Grandmama, their butler Lurch, the disembodied hand Thing, and Gomez's Cousin Itt.
Cousin Itt is the Whistleblower!

Fred99:
Wow - just wow.
I Fraudius is completely disconnected from reality:
Even his (formerly) favourite news channel (and argued by some to be the propaganda wing of the Trump administration) has some very bad news indeed for the Imperial President:
Well for Trump's poll, he only surveyed his own kids.

Good grief ...
The Washington Post - Trump downplays U.S. alliance with Syrian Kurds, saying ‘they didn’t help us in the Second World War’
October 9 at 7:19 PM
President Trump said Wednesday that it would be “easy” for the United States to form new alliances if Syrian Kurds leave the fight against the Islamic State to fend off a Turkish attack, noting that “they didn’t help us in the Second World War, they didn’t help us in Normandy” and were only interested in fighting for “their land.”
“With all of that being said, we like the Kurds,” he said in response to questions about Turkey’s incursion into Syria. ...
