Yet you said:



First you say, "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."

But then you come back and say that "prevention doesn't always work"

But remember you just clearly said, "(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."


In short, we aren't hearing from people directly involved because they are being prevented from speaking, but since prevention doesn't always work we aren't actually being prevented from hearing anyone who wants to testify against Trump.

Silly me, I suppose, for considering a president ordering executive branch employees not to testify/cooperate with the investigation as well as invoking executive privilege for certain ones to be preventing witnesses from appearing. I can't believe how silly it is to consider someone telling his subordinates not to do something preventing them from doing something.
