Democrats know that this “impeachment inquiry” is their best shot at getting Trump out of office before next November’s elections.

If they don’t, there’s a good chance 45 wins a second term over an extremely weak and still crowded liberal field.

But POTUS won’t go down without a fight.

The White House is planning to send Speaker Nancy Pelosi a letter as soon as Friday arguing that President Trump and his team can ignore lawmakers’ demands until she holds a full House vote formally approving an impeachment inquiry, 2 sources familiar with the letter tell Axios.

Why it matters: By putting in writing the case that Trump and his supporters have been making verbally for days, the White House is preparing for a court fight and arguing to the public that its resistance to Congress’ requests is justified.

Colleague John Roberts confirms WH will send a letter to Pelosi saying administration doesn’t have to comply with any demands from Congress unless Hse votes to launch an impeachment inquiry.

It’s so refreshing to have a republican that fights the battle.

Great move since Pelosi & Schiff were laying an obstruction trap for @POTUS whereby they were demanding documents and records that couldn’t & wouldn’t be produced. This action by the WH preempts that slimy move by the impeachable Dems.

Making it time for Pelosi to fish or cut bait. A House vote gives the Republican minority the ability to subpoena witnesses. No House vote means no compliance from the WH can be insisted on. Sounds like a good chess move from the WH.

The Democrats are showing they still haven’t learned who they’re dealing with yet. Trump is a fighter, he’s a New Yorker, he isn’t going to back down. He isn’t the typical spineless politician. They are so stupid. #MAGA

To all sane Americans, the acronym MAGA stands for “Make America Great Again.”

To liberals like Nancy Pelosi it’s MAWA, or, “Make America White Again.”

Because nothing says I can’t refute your argument with facts like pulling out the race card.

WATCH:

Monday, AG Barr told the @AP that the Trump administration will take action in the coming days that he believes will allow the government to add the census query.

@SpeakerPelosi claims it’s because Trump wants to “Make America White Again.”

Check out Guy Benson’s reaction:

Setting the gratuitous race baiting aside, what — specifically — is “disgraceful” about the govt of a sovereign country wishing to count its citizens? A double-digit majority of Americans support the citizenship Q. Do they also want to “make America white again” or whatever?
