Say It Ain't So Democrats That You're Using Your Power For Political Investigations!

[saveliberty]

85 subpoenas are on the docket for Jan when dems take over the house Good thing to clear the air and take some of the traitorous scum republicans power away

Your public whining will be highly entertaining. What about your base that expects you to give them stuff you promised in the election? Duped them again I see.

It gets worse.
I think Mueller has sealed indictments on dozens of people.
As soon as Whittaker fucks with him, they will be released.
Expect to see a whole lot of people around Trump, including Don Jr., being hauled in.
And I"m going to love every fucking minute of it.

Maybe you azzhats WANT to live in a banana republic with a Baby Doc Duvalier stealing from you, but I don't.

Democrats have to have some excuse for doing nothing.

Poor eddie, Executive privilege provides immunity from subpoena to executive branch officials in the conduct of their governmental duties.

Poor BoozLegend, as soon as they leave office the subpoenas are immediately served.

Then there's this:

A brief guide to executive privilege, and why it won't save the Trump administration

What executive privilege is
Executive privilege generally refers to the principle that the executive branch can sometimes ignore the legislature or judiciary’s subpoenas or other attempts to gain information from the White House, the president, his aides, and Cabinet agencies.

Often it’s limited to the president alone. Sessions, for instance, repeatedly insisted in his hearing that he was not invoking executive privilege; “I'm not able to invoke executive privilege. That's the president's prerogative,” he told Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM). Rather, he was refusing to answer in case the president himself wanted to invoke it later.

“Cabinet officials cannot claim executive privilege,” Mark Rozell, a professor at George Mason University and the author of Executive Privilege: Presidential Power, Secrecy, and Accountability, explained in an email last June. “That is a presidential power alone.”

[debbiedowner]

It was heartbreaking to hear Adam Schiff, a Democrat Congressman who stands to become Chairmen of the House Intelligence Committee for the next Congress, say today on CNN's State of the Union that his committee will launch a major investigation into Donald Trump's financial and other personal ties with Saudi Arabia alleging that these ties are behind President Trump's stance on Saudi Arabia in regards to the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The American people are tired of the wild goose chase "corruption theories" from both parties we want you to solve problems to make life better for us and our family and communities.



Congressman Schiff thinks Donald Tump has financial ties to Saudi Arabia which is causing him to take the positions he has been taking on this issue. This is reckless, baseless garbage. Any President looking out for the best interest would not let this issue harm the American people's relationship with the government of Saudi Arabia, five Saudi citizens have been criminally charged over this matter where they face the death penalty if convicted that is enough justice! All American Presidents in modern times have been very understanding in dealing with the Saudi Government; take the 9-11 attack the worst foreign attack against the American people since Pear Harbor we know wealthy Saudis gave money to the radical Islamic groups behind the attack and even that did not cause the American President at the time George Bush to harm our country's relationship with the Saudi government. Optimally prudent and good Presidents view matters involving Saudi Arabia in terms that one they are a vital partner in America's campaign to protect the world from radical Islamic extremism and they don't want to jeopardize that partnership and two Saudi Arabia has possession of the lever that controls the world wide price of oil and they don't want to alienate this country so that it uses that power unfairly against Western economies. Three the Saudi Arabia government has an unbelievably serious challenge in front of them where they have to transition their country away from its economic dependence on oil revenue otherwise the country will be an impoverished nation indefinitely evidence of this challenge can be seen by the Saudi Government's its exploration and failed attempt to both sell stocks in the Kingdom's oil corporation Aramco and have Aramco issue a large amount of bonds!


The American people deeply want the new Democrat House and also the Republican Senate and the President to solve some of America's major problems in the next session not to conduct political motivated investigations. The American people desperately would like to see legislation passed that lowers the price of health insurance and health care in America, that makes major progress in solving the country's illegal and legal immigration problem, that makes a significant investment in infrastructure construction in America and that scraps the current globalization model where American families lose middle class incomes and puts America on a pathway for permanent strong manufacturing and production industries and that assures that the trade that does occur is fair with no major trade imbalances! The American people want elected officials in Washington to stop with the smoke screens that cover the Congress from passing major good legislation and maintain Washington as a place that just facilitates America working well for the wealthy, big business and the politically powerful across the nation and not for the entirety of the American people!

So how many years did the republican's use their power to investigate Benghazi?

Trump kneed the Dem's in the groin for the past 2 years, they are looking for payback.

you need to think like that. actually getting to the truth is what is paramount. if trump et al did nothing wong, then there is nothing to worry about - riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

getting donny jr, & steve bannon back in under oath & not allowed to walk out without answering, &getting ahold of capt crazy pants' tax returns might just reveal all kinds of juicy tidbits OR it will all come up as a 'nothing burger'.
