I see no evidence the WH is spending all that much time on these investigations, but I expect that to change as the midterm elections come closer. The Democrats are counting on being able to keep this bogus investigation going into the midterm elections, hoping it will prevent them from being hurt too badly, but as it becomes clearer to voters that there is no evidence of collusion and even of Russian wrongdoing in the election, the credibility of Democrats will take the worst damage and likely give the Republicans even larger majorities in both houses of Congress.The WH is not trying to manage the investigations. It is hard at work on turning the President's agenda into law. To do that major legislation has to be worked through Congress and that is being done. We will soon have a Senate repeal and replace bill and then the House and the Senate will negotiate a compromise bill; that's the process nearly all major pieces of legislation go through. Republicans in Congress will pass a tax reform act because they understand capital investment in the US depends on it and the consequences will be dire for them at the polls if they don't produce. It took the Democrats over a year to pass Obamacare and AHCA will pass in less time. Most of the legislation any Congress passes is what you are calling inane, but these uninteresting pieces of legislation are necessary to keep the country running.The point is none of the noise the Democrats are making is slowing down the work of the government, it is just making the Democrats irrelevant to it.Signed Legislation
Pending Legislation
34 pieces of legislation signed by President Trump so far and another four awaiting his signature.
Hilarious. "US Wants to Compete for a World Expo Act" and similarly substantive laws. There was a lot of tension during the campaign about the World Expo.
I respectfully disagree. The White House is having to try to manage the investigations and trying to put MAJOR legislation in place (many of which I support) but the noise and investigations is limiting them to the "US Wants to Compete for a World Expo Act" which is exactly what the Dems want. Wake me up when they pass Obamacare repeal and especially tax reform or maybe infrastructure improvements. All three branches, get it done! That's the best way to handle the Dems, not your list of inane legislation as if we've really accomplished something.
Lot of future tense at use in your post. There was lots of future tense in the campaign too. Hope you're right, but thus far, I see the big hole in the bagel.
And believe me the WH is indeed trying to manage the investigations, it spends waaaaayyyyy too much time answering questions, consulting lawyers, yada yada yada than a focused WH would want to do.
