I would like to see the Don tossed out on his ear
May 21, 2019 6:13PM PDT

If the courts say no to all these subpoenas of which there are so many you need a piece of paper and a pencil to keep up then I'm disappointed but will accept it.

What will be your reaction if the courts say yes?
Will you have a BO rant?

The day after Barr gave his report
May 22, 2019 3:30AM PDT

the Dems in Congress had 81 subpoenas delivered....they already had decided that Mueller's report (a leak to them perhaps as a heads up?) was not going to be to their liking and would continue their harassment.

Harassment or doing their job?

The first court said doing their job.

Are you going to have a rant if other courts say doing their job?

Harassment
May 22, 2019 4:32AM PDT

because you're only talking about ONE subpoena...what about the OTHER 80 for people their 'savior' already interviewed and found no wrong doing from? Those subpoenas were READY TO GO the DAY after Barr's summary of Mueller's report, so the Dems ALREADY knew ahead of time that Mueller was going to 'let them down' and decided to NOT accept anything from Barr if there were no charges from him either.

Now they are threatening to arrest Gahn for not showing up but weren't interested in arresting HILL's IT guy when HE didn't. They have selective outrage and it shows...…..

They want what they want when they want it......and it will be their downfall in a crucial election year.

And 'doing their job'
May 22, 2019 4:35AM PDT

means actually DOING THEIR JOBS as Congressional elected officials of the PEOPLE. They aren't doing the PEOPLE'S work....they are a DO NOTHING Congress as usual because they are all focused on ONE thing and one thing ONLY. They talk about Trump being incompetent.....but they can't show even ONE thing that they've accomplished for the PEOPLE in two years and it's gotten worse since January when they took over the House.....and they're going to lose it again rapidly.

Their focus is on tossing out

If they get that done they will have done a great service to the people who elected them and the country.

Look at the larger picture, Bob
May 22, 2019 10:22AM PDT

Impeachment before 2020 leaves them with Pence, who is vastly more conservative than Trump.....and they will have disenfranchised over 60 MILLION voters who voted for Trump....plus they will have the hurdle of trying to get 2/3 of the Senate to also impeach (which will never happen). Then the Dems risk losing the House immediately after getting it back because those 60 MILLION voters will make damn sure that BOTH houses end up with a SUPER majority for at least the next four years of Trump's presidency.

Huge risk for little gain...….

If the dems try to impeach
May 22, 2019 12:13PM PDT

without a smoking gun their dead it will never get through the senate.

Impeachment may not be the plan at all.

Just keep bringing up the dirt so come next election even righty's may have second thoughts.

Perhaps that's the reason for all the subpoenas.....gather dirt.

Perhaps???? YA THINK????
May 22, 2019 2:22PM PDT

So it's ok to waste taxpayer money giving them salaries for garbage politics rather than doing the PEOPLE'S business?

Waste.....not at all
May 22, 2019 3:00PM PDT

It's the job of the house to make sure whoever is driving the bus is not a crook.

Until that is settled I doubt the dems will give him much.

Speaking of giving much does it remind you of the repubs and BO?

Politics as usual in Washington.

You keep forgetting about
May 22, 2019 5:06PM PDT

one major factor involved that Congress doesn't have....

An actual CRIME to investigate. THAT's how investigations begin, Bob....and without a CRIME already committed, you can't just willy-nilly investigate a PERSON just because you don't like him or because you THINK/HOPE he MIGHT have committed a crime.

- Collapse -
Sure you can
May 22, 2019 5:36PM PDT

You just put a passable reason on your investigation and move on.

The dems don't care about reasons they are looking for dirt.

- Collapse -
MY point exactly
May 23, 2019 3:38AM PDT

They didn't even have a 'passable' reason to spy on Trump in the first place because they LIED to the FISA court to do it. They are all on the hotseat now all the way up to Lynch and even Biden and BO and pointing fingers now. The House Dems are going to end up the same way and lose the House again next year if they don't wise up soon. BO's people will have some probably end up in jail...House Dems will just lose their elections but that's devastating to people who love power and realize they threw it all away for nothing.

UPDATE
May 22, 2019 2:33PM PDT

A bill in NY has passed and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Cuomo (Dem no surprise) that will give Congress Trump's STATE taxes just by Neal asking for them.

It APPEARS to be a win for Nadler; however, remember the House will eventually turn around back into Rep hands, and ALL Dems in the House and the Senate will have to live with those consequences because it puts all of THEIR State taxes up for grabs by a new Rep led House, and the list is long....

SENATE: Chuck SCHUMER (re-election in 2022) and Kristen GILLIBRAND (2024)

HOUSE: (ALL are up for re-election in 2021) Suozzi, Rice, Meeks, Meng, Valezquez, Jeffries, Clark, NADLER, Rose, Caroline Maloney, Espaillat, CORTEZ, Serrano, ENGEL, Lowey, Sean Maloney, Delgado, Tonko, Brindisi, Morelli, and Higgens

AND anybody else who decides to run for re-election in the future in that State.

Like I've said before about Dems.....they love instant gratification. They always go for short term happiness and never look at the long haul picture which is why they always destroy what's good and right.

state taxes
May 23, 2019 4:15AM PDT

They are often just based on figures from federal income taxes, so it would be a poorer substitute than federal taxes. Still, maybe Nadler will feel he got a cry baby sucker on a stick at the office after doctor Trump has given him his shots.

The Dems have already
May 22, 2019 5:13PM PDT

stated that they won't enforce the subpoenas until the appeals systems are over....it's all show for them because Trump will win on appeal....especially since his entire family is also involved because of company businesses with Deutsche Bank. This is nothing but harassment of an entire family now and Congress will get their hands slapped.

As for the State of New York bill I mentioned before, you can bet that the Clinton Foundation tax records will be on the line as well....especially since there are still two investigators (the IG and the Sessions guy) looking at her non-investigation done by Comey already.
