The WH counsel's letter to positively blasts Nadler:

• "this baseless and highly partisan inquiry violates all past historical precedent, basic due process rights, and fundamental fairness"
• you know the President will be out of the country attending the NATO Leaders Meeting in London
• hearing is a waste of time because it will focus on the "historical and constitutional basis of impeachment," and will feature academics, not witnesses relating to Ukraine or the current impeachment inquiry"
• "your letter provided no information whatsoever as to what the schedule will be, what the procedures will be, or what rights, if any, the Committee intends to afford the President"
• "you have given no information regarding your plans, set arbitrary deadlines, and then demand a response, all to create the false appearance of providing the President some rudimentary process"
