    Trump moves to resist House inquiries, setting up fight over congressional subpoena powers

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...af3d2e67c6d_story.html?utm_term=.7e103daca9fb

    President Trump’s attorneys and the White House are moving to resist a growing number of congressional requests for information, increasing the likelihood of a protracted legal fight that could test the power of congressional subpoenas.

    The building battle will shape how much material House Democrats will be able to obtain about Trump’s policies and personal finances through multiple investigations launched by various congressional committees.
    ............................................................................................................
    Why does Obama believe he shouldn't comply with record releases that his predecessors did of their own volition? Hiding something?

    ...............................................................................................................
    Don doesn't want anyone to know what he and his friend Vlad spoke about.
    Don doesn't want anyone to know about his authorization of security clearances rejected by career staffers because of national security concerns.
    Don doesn't want anyone to know about his taxes.
    Don doesn't want anyone to know about his hush money payments to Stormy.
    Don doesn't want anyone to know about his staff's use of personal e-mail accounts.
    Don doesn't want anyone to know about the transfer sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in violation of the Atomic Energy Act.
    Don doesn't want anyone to know about a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act by destroying documents.

    Trumpists..........they await instructions for how to react from the right wing sound chamber.

    You realize that launching all of these investigations is making the democrats look extremely bad.

    I mean they don't even have a reason to do it other than to get Trump, they are hoping they find a reason to verify the investigation.

    It's coming off as a pure attack, which it is, for the purpose of destroying someone.

    How would you like it if they opened up multiple investigations about you, dug into your life, requested all information about you?

    You'd say, "what did I do to deserve this".

    Their reply, "we don't know yet but we will find something on you eventually".

    You folks are pretty much guaranteeing Trump a re-election in 2020.

    I don’t intend this as an insult but have you taken stock of how much of your life is spent ragging in trump? You are here all day every day. I get that you really don’t like Trump but he is president and stands a good chance of being re-elected. I couldn’t stand Obama myself but I didn’t shut down my life to complain constantly about him. Trump will be out of office one day, but you will not get these 4 or 8 years of life you spent complaining back.

    You can't imagine how silly you sound after Trumpist's calls to "lock her up," preceded by 7 Benghazi hearings, followed by Don's demands that the investigators be investigated. Can you even hear yourself?

    And it cost them the House and almost the Senate didn't it?

    You'd think they would have learned.

    That didn't cause the Repubs to lose the House. Backlash to Trumpery did.

    When a rogue prez's conduct requires it oversight responsibilities are triggered. You're ignoring the Orange Fraud's behavior being the cause for the normal functions of Congress to hold him accountable to the American people.

    Presidents rarely affect congressional races as a general rule.

    Especially in midterms.

    But if you want to believe these ridiculous witch hunts will help your party win elections then go for it.

    The very fact that all of these things they are investigating are things you don't think Mueller has already looked at is laughable.

    He is a seasoned law investigator and came up with zilch but if you think Harris and AOC can find something he overlooked then go for it.

    Trump is just going about the job he was elected to do

    There is no reason for him to assist the dems in their vendetta

    You're saying he was elected to give his son-in-law responsibilities he is unqualified for............and then grant him a security clearance he shouldn't have?

    What's really going on is the minions have decided to defend everything he does. And when House Dems exercise the authority to question his decisions............and Don refuses to cooperate..........you point your finger in the wrong direction...........at the people asking the questions and not the person taking actions that require them to do so.

    I'd be surprised if he was disloyal too. After all, he's married to Queen Ivanka. Besides, Don is protecting Jared as much as the other way around. They are both unqualified to hold their positions.

    The point is, the House has a responsibility to hold President Flim Flam accountable for his actions. Don has the responsibility to comply with justified requests for info. That is how it's supposed to work.

    The Mueller witch hunt was one thing, but continued harassment of the sitting President will only ensure his re-election. The witch hunt was your last real hope, now failure to accept Trump as our president only makes you folks look whiny and pathetic...

    Not a single result that implicates Trump in anything at all. A total liberal clown show, sort of like Hillary's campaign, you folks are getting pretty good at failing to deliver...

    Trump is accused of gross abuse of his office. We’re not talking about the Mueller report.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...bc984dc9eec_story.html?utm_term=.08034e053177

    "Lawmakers have rightly been seeking more information about Mr. Trump’s alleged attempted meddling in the Antitrust Division’s decision (on the AT&T-Time Warner merger), whether it was to reward Fox News because the outlet has been favorable to him or to hurt CNN because it has not. If he did intercede, it was a grave offense to press freedom and the rule of law, and one the president ought to be held accountable for. Unfortunately, accountability is not this administration’s strong suit: This week, the White House rejected a House Judiciary Committee request for documents on related discussions with the Justice Department, claiming executive privilege. The Justice Department, similarly, has yet to respond to multiple requests."

    Agreed, that it may backfire on them. Just review what is there, censure him and get back to trying to run a government.

    Any oversight of this lawless admin makes Dems look bad...............in the eyes of Trumpists. In truth, the Dems are just acting to safeguard our democracy.

    You're free to believe what you wish, of course, but a little dose of facts or reality wouldn't hurt once in a while. For example, your belief that somehow the Mueller report will hurt Democrats because it was a witch hunt. Well, Mr. Trump's approval rating sunk dramatically after the Mueller report was issued. Everything to you appears to be a "total liberal clown show." okay with that, but the Democrats are winning election after election and turning one red district after another blue. As for witches, Mueller put twenty seven under indictment and five in jail. That's a lot of witches.

    You're free to have your own beliefs but not your own facts and facts matter.

    Trump sues Oversight Committee chairman to block subpoena of financial records

    https://www.politico.com/story/2019...ht-committee-chairman-finance-records-1284995

    "President Donald Trump on Monday sued House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings to block a subpoena of the president's financial records from an accounting firm, escalating tensions between the White House and congressional Democrats who are investigating his business empire.

    In a new court filing, Trump’s attorneys asked for a court order to block Cummings’ subpoena to Mazars USA. The Democratic lawmaker is attempting to obtain eight years of the president’s financial records from Mazars, which had asked the committee for a so-called “friendly” subpoena so that it could comply with the request."



    He can release his taxes. The audit excuse is a canard.
