I was responding specifically to this comment. 

" why aren't we hearing from more direct people? the answer to that is because the White House (Trump) is preventing them from testifying. So Republicans could make it so we have the people directly involved testify to what occurred.  Republicans could put them on the stand. But they aren't. Why would that be?"


Based on what your saying it sounds like they were asked to not participate, but couldn't be prevented. Plus it's not like these Republicans were going to go and testify or hand over docs anyway. belsnickel framed it as people wanted to give their first hand against Trump but were "prevented". 

Seems like a bad semantics argument. Trump has directed his administration to ignore subpoenas. People now have to decide if they want to jeopardize their job security or risk legal issues.
