JONATHAN TURLEY: While the Republicans are not being deterred by any of this, what is really shocking is that Sams is actually with the White House counsel's office. I can't remember an administration that had a White House counsel's office that engaged so directly in taunting and attacking legal inquiries from Congress... This is an impeachment inquiry. It's the most important possible process that a President and Congress are engaged in, and yet you have a member of the legal counsel's office mocking and taunting that effort. The fact is that the president's public statements to the public stand completely contradicted. He lied when he said he had not spoken to business associates. He lied when he said he didn't have knowledge of these business dealings. The point of this letter that is key is that in seven pages, it reduces all of those contradictions to ten simple questions that the president can answer, not engage in taunting, not engaging in the type of attacks by Sams, but to answer the question for the American people. But the reason they're doing this is because they have license to do it. The media has no interest at all in the answers to these ten questions. They bought into this illusion, essentially, that was created by the Biden team, and they've just gone too far. They can't ask any of these questions themselves, and that's what Sams and the... White House know is that there's not going to be any push by the media to answer any of these questions.
