White House blocks testimony by former top aide to First Lady | Washington Examiner.
The White House counsel’s office has barred congressional investigators from interviewing Jackie Norris, former chief of staff for First Lady Michelle Obama, about events leading to the firing of AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin. Republican investigators from the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform have wanted to question Norris since they learned earlier this month that she met with Alan Solomont, chairman of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the organization that oversees AmeriCorps, on June 9, the day before Walpin was summarily fired. Solomont was heavily involved in the Walpin dismissal.
Real transparency. Why so secretive? Will FLOTUS become more unhappy with her country if Jackie Norris is questioned?

Well, you know and I know what the White House is hiding, which is corruption at the HIGHEST levels of power.
Isn’t it rather remarkable that folks like you and I and a majority of Americans are now in agreement with the likes of Cuba and Venezuela when it comes to the distrust of these people…

I don’t think they have the authority to block a subpoena from congress.
