Judge rules against Trump in records dispute with Congress

[bodecea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Washington ruled Monday against President Donald Trump in a financial records dispute with Congress.


U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, said Trump cannot block a House subpoena of financial records. He said the Democratic-led House committee seeking the information has said it believes the documents would help lawmakers consider strengthening ethics and disclosure laws, among other things.

The committee's reasons were "valid legislative purposes," Mehta said, and it was not for him "to question whether the Committee's actions are truly motivated by political considerations."

Does a higher court overturn this ruling?

How much longer can the Trump Administration stonewall the Congress.

Trump's accounting firm is not a part of the Gov't, so he can't use executive powers.

Yeah well just see how far it gets. LOL however this does bring up a good point. I think it's long past time to rein in this run amuck judiciary and make it so that if there is any tug of war between the administration and the judiciary that it must occur at the Supreme Court level and not just any judicial pissant that feels the urge.

So I see you don't support the constitution.

Have you ever read that document?

For you to have your way the constitution needs to be amended.

Good luck with that.

These kinds of things are beyond their ken.

Oh, look...yet another Obama appointee more loyal to Obama than to the law.

…...and you said that with a straight face. The AG is Trump's personal lawyer, but that is ok in the mind of a Trump Humper.

Yes, that's the talking point that was handed to you, isn't it?

Have you ever even tried thinking for yourself?

A Trump Humper has got the nerve to try and tell someone to think for themselves, the hits just keep on coming.

That, too, is part of your programming.

 

[daveman]

Exactly where in the Constitution does it say the President must turn over his financial records to Congress?? ....

Nowhere at all.

Congress’s oversight authority derives from its implied powers in the Constitution, public laws, and House and Senate rules. It is an integral part of the American system of checks and balances.

So, Congress has powers not enumerated in the Constitution, that Congress granted itself...and you don't see anything wrong with it.

 

[daveman]

You're right he is just a straight up flunky.

Live with it then. Stop pissing and moaning like a little bitch.

A Trump Humper accusing someone of bitching and moaning, you can't make this shit up.

Well, YOU can't, at least...because you're not that bright.

Where did Barr say he was Trumps wingman like that pile of shit Eric "Free BJs" Holder said about his status as Obama's wingman?

He is a Trump Humper just like idiots like you, he should be classified as his personal attorney instead of the Attorney General.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Translation: We don't believe in the Constitution even when it is there.

I agree with you.

Democrats and lefty liberals do not believe in the Constitution. ...

Trump Humpers have thrown the Constitution in the trash.

 

[daveman]

Oh, gosh...the judge is an Obama donor.

Gasp.

Think about that for a few. This means no one in congress can withhold those documents either. I would love to see mad Maxine have to turn over her financial records. Same With Elija Cummings.

Every president since Tricky Dick has shown their tax returns, so tell me Trump Humper what does Trump have to hide that other presidents didn't?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

How well did that defense work for Al Capone?

Apples and oranges.

Congress and the IRS are two totally different branches of the government with separate responsibilities. ...

Are you really that slow?

Amazing how you Trump Humpers want to limit the powers of the Congress now that they are asking for documents from Trump.

No deflection allowed. Just remember, this can go on to all the democrats in Congress if a republican feels inclined to do so. So you can go on and have your little fantasies about Trump being frog walked out the whitehouse, but in the end you will just be on here Election Day 2020 crying your eyes out. Oh yeah, and tell me half Black Jesus worshipper, what law says they must show the tax returns? None do. But now, since congress went to court for them, congress can now demand other members tax returns. I would LOVE to see the tax’s of the congressional Kneeeegrows! Seeing how they are always getting busted for corruption. Then Nancy Pelosi. Then Nadler. So enjoy retard. I’ll mock you election night 2020.

Not really. Conservatives have long supported lessening government interference in American's lives.

But it's amazing how you Obama bootlickers now believe the Executive Branch should have some oversight.

Without a legitimate reason, they have no authority to demand private papers.

Uh they have a legitimate reason or should I say reasons.

Their reasons is that Crooked Hillary LOST. And that's not a good enough reason.

That judge was likely told to do it. When he said no, Hillary probably pulled out the FBI folder on HIM. Then he agreed. That's how Hildebeast the Crook rolls. And we're not going to take it any more.
