It either is in the consitution or isn't in the consitution."Oversight also derives from the many and varied express powers of the Congress in the Constitution. It is implied in the legislature's authority, among other powers and duties, to appropriate funds, enact laws, raise and support armies, provide for a Navy, declare war, and impeach and remove from office the president, vice president, and other civil officers. Congress could not reasonably or responsibly exercise these powers without knowing what the executive was doing; how programs were being administered, by whom, and at what cost; and whether officials were obeying the law and complying with legislative intent."
It basically is, Marener.
Did you miss the FBI and IRS whistleblower testimonies? Come on, Marener...you're better than this!Investigations can be compromised by the release of information. For example, if the DoJ has a source next to the suspect, disclosing that source may result in threats/intimidation or tip off the suspect to the presence of an investigation and what the government knows.
I haven't. Please give me an example.
Constitutional scholars would disagree. They see that Congressional oversight is granted in the Constitution because you couldn't do what Congress is tasked with doing without having oversight of the Executive Branch.It either is in the consitution or isn't in the consitution.
It's not. There is no "basically" at all. It's not.
It's no different than executive privilege.
My only point is that saying something "isn't in the constitution" is a very weak argument.
I've heard almost all of them. Do you have something specific you want to bring up?Did you miss the FBI and IRS whistleblower testimonies? Come on, Marener...you're better than this!

It's becoming near impossible for the media to ignore the stench coming from the White House.Good lord yes. The more I hear about this administration, the more I am aghast they are all not in prison.
It is complete clown world.
I just found out about this one today. . . I am surprised no one has bothered to create a thread about how the administration, knew about the stuff at Mar-a-Lago, but purposely did not want Trump to return it, and then, sent their goons to entrap him. . .
Interesting stuff. . .

Fine, let's examine the IRS investigation against the Bidens. The White House refused to answer any questions about that claiming it was an ongoing investigation. Then IRS investigators under oath go in front of Congress and tell us that they weren't allowed to investigate the Bidens by the Garland DOJ. In fact...while the Biden White House and the Merrick Garland DOJ were telling us that there was an ongoing investigation of the Bidens which meant they couldn't comment...there was actually no investigation at all taking place.I've heard almost all of them. Do you have something specific you want to bring up?
No, it's implied in the Constitution by the duties that Congress is given. You can't do what they've been tasked to do WITHOUT knowing what the Executive Branch is doing! It's simple common sense. Executive privilege isn't mentioned at all nor is it implied.Constitutional scholars agree it's not in the constitution, but is an "implied" power.
Implied powers - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
In the United States, implied powers are powers that, although not directly stated in the Constitution, are implied to be available based on previously stated powers.
It's the exact same thing as executive privilege. It's implied.
what did I lie about? Did you not say that the Executive branch doesn't have to follow what Congress says because "separation of powers" ?You constantly lie about what I've said.
That makes any attempt to have a conversation with you next to impossible. You're just talking to yourself.
LOL Your projection is amusing. Have some integrity.It's exactly what it means. Law enforcement is part of the executive branch, not the legislative branch. The powers are separated. These are the reasons that executive privilege exists.
Your ignorance is profound!
That's true.Fine, let's examine the IRS investigation against the Bidens. The White House refused to answer any questions about that claiming it was an ongoing investigation.
Actually, much of what they complain about occurred under the Barr DoJ. Specifically, they were prevented from doing some actions that would have become public before the election, which is consistent with the longstanding policy of the DoJ to avoid actions just prior to elections that might affect elections.Then IRS investigators under oath go in front of Congress and tell us that they weren't allowed to investigate the Bidens by the Garland DOJ.
That's simply not true. The investigation was definitely taking place, it's just that in a handful of instances, the IRS agents wanted to do something and they were told no by superiors.In fact...while the Biden White House and the Merrick Garland DOJ were telling us that there was an ongoing investigation of the Bidens which meant they couldn't comment...there was actually no investigation at all taking place.

Among a few of those things that they listed, first, at the top, they said that they were not allowed to search Joe Biden's home where Hunter Biden was living, that they were blocked from interviewing Biden grandchildren, who may have been able to give testimony about Hunter Biden's tax returns, that they were prominently not — they did not see the felony tax charges that they recommended and which they said other prosecutors early in the case also agreed with.
And they also said they saw outside limits on David Weiss. He is the U.S. attorney in Delaware who is overseeing the prosecution and this plea deal in the Hunter Biden case.

Half of that happened before Biden took office, for example searching Biden's house was in 2020.sure
IRS whistleblowers claim Justice Department meddled in Hunter Biden investigation
A pair of IRS whistleblowers testified before the House Oversight Committee about alleged meddling in the Justice Department investigation of Hunter Biden. The president's son reached an agreement to plead guilty to two federal misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes and agreed to abide...
You goober, the DOJ is in the executive branch, not the legislative.hahah ok...so you do think the Executive branch is above the law. Gotcha.
You believe in authoritarianism obviously....we went over this with your approval of the Xiden Admin Ministry of Truth and censorship...thanks for reminding us again today
when did I say otherwise?You goober, the DOJ is in the executive branch, not the legislative.
Thats usually how it works. A senator from the state makes the request and generally their request is honored.Weiss might have been nominated by Trump but was suggested by the democrat senator of Delaware to nominated him.
If your point is that the corruption at the DOJ preceded Biden - the answer is - Duh!Half of that happened before Biden took office, for example searching Biden's use was in 2020.
Everyone`s corrupt except the guy with 4 indictments.What is really going on with the most corrupt administration, the most corrupt President in history?
Meanwhile, phony charges and four indictments of Trump to keep you entertained and eyes off Biden et al.
In ancient Rome, Juvenal referred to this as panem et circenses, bread and circuses.
Emails show the DOJ repeatedly intervened on behalf of the Delaware U.S. attorney to respond to Hunter Biden-related congressional inquiries.
Emails obtained by the Heritage Foundation following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit and shared exclusively with The Federalist establish that on multiple occasions, the Department of Justice intervened on behalf of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to respond to congressional inquiries related to the Hunter Biden investigation.This revelation raises more questions about the June 7, 2023, letter dispatched to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan under Weiss’s signature line, in which the Delaware U.S. attorney claimed he had “ultimate authority” over charging decisions related to Hunter Biden. It also suggests Weiss and the DOJ may have conspired to mislead Congress.Did the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs respond to Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson’s May 9, 2022, letter seeking information concerning the Hunter Biden investigation? Weiss posed that question to one of his lead assistant U.S. attorneys, Shannon Hanson. “Not to my knowledge,” Hanson replied, followed soon after with a second email noting that Joe Gaeta, the then-deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legislative Affairs, was working on a response. And although Grassley and Johnson had addressed their May 9, 2022, inquiry solely to Weiss, DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs would intercede on his behalf, responding in a letter dated June 9, 2022, that the DOJ would not respond to the questions posed. The following month, Grassley and Johnson dispatched another letter requesting information related to the Hunter Biden investigation, addressing this letter to Weiss, as well as Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Again, the Office of Legal Counsel intervened, telling Weiss’s office in an email reviewed by The Federalist that it would “take the lead on drafting a response” to Grassley and Johnson’s letter.These never-before-seen emails establish the Department of Justice and U.S. attorney collaborated in responding to congressional inquiries and were among the first batch of documents provided to the Heritage Foundation following a court order last week in Heritage’s FOIA case against the DOJ. That court order required the DOJ to produce, by Aug. 25, 2023, all records collected from Weiss and Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf that were responsive to the Heritage FOIA lawsuit. Mike Howell, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, initiated the FOIA request and then filed suit against the DOJ after the Biden administration attempted to slow-walk the production. Howell told The Federalist the emails show that while Garland was claiming Weiss had the independence to bring whatever charges he wanted, Garland was “simultaneously running communications from Weiss to Grassley through the political controls of Main Justice.” “It is a slap in the face,” Howell said. Significantly, the emails also call into question the veracity of a series of exchanges between Weiss and Jordan, beginning with Weiss’s June 7 response to the May 25, 2023, letter Jordan sent to Garland. In that May 25 letter, Jordan questioned Garland on the removal of the IRS whistleblowers from the Hunter Biden investigation. ...

Banana republic indictments. Things you would see in Russia or any other communist country.Everyone`s corrupt except the guy with 4 indictments.
