If they do, they will be charged with contempt, just like Miers
They can't just not show up, they have to show up and invoke executive priviledge. I don't remember the specific criteria to invoke it, but Linda Sanchez outlined it wonderfully in the house hearing. It is a formal process.

26. Nah. Not a chance.
They wouldn't dirty thier hands or waste their time on something as stupid as our Democracy. They've shown contempt for everything this country stands for, and they will show CONTEMPT of congress.

13. Good news
If they show up, I doubt that they will.
If they do show, they will have a severe case of Reaganitis.

15. Very good
Maybe the Dems will go to recess on a strong note. I hope they plan to meet and develop strategy on this process during the break.

...they fail to show up.

22. Masterful. It seems that the Democratic leadership has been...
working hard to come up with a way to nail these thugs. If the thugs are two steps ahead, then the leaders needed to be three.

This is all good.

Peace. Will. Prevail.

"Executive Privilege"

Followed by:

"Mr. President and Vice President, your attendance is required on Aug 7th at a hearing regarding the politicalization of the Department of Justice, as you refuse to provide any of your staff to answer our questions. We look forward to you providing straightforward and accurate information during your under-oath testimony. Failure to comply will result in legal action."

Classic reading! I printed out the subpoena and posted it on my door for all to read.
