House Democrats flexed their muscles Wednesday, smacking the President with a demand for his tax returns, preparation to get his financial records and vote to subpoena the Justice Department for the full Mueller report.
According to a Wednesday Politico report, House Democrats didn’t mean to dump the ton of bricks on President Donald Trump all on the same day; the timing was just coincidental.
However, the aggression marks a new era for House Democrats insistent on exercising the full might of their majority’s muscle to investigate Trump, even if the Mueller report ends up falling short of their hopes.
Republicans are outraged at the display, accusing Democrats of playing politics and trying to smear the President. But Democrats consider investigating Trump their most important duty.
“We must make it harder for future presidents to behave this way,” Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler said. “We need a full accounting of the
President’s actions to do that work.”
No quarter, Dems. Use every tool at your disposal to hold this corrupt administration accountable for the wholesale dismantling of our democracy that is now underway.
Be relentless in exposing the rot that infests not only Trump but the entire GOP at this point. We are at a crossroads and now is not the time to play nice.
My, it seems like only yesterday that Trump and the GOP were claiming total exoneration.
Hell, it WAS yesterday!
I’ve often said that the problem with Democrats is that when they have power they refuse to use it. Maybe the times, they are a changin’! Hopefully we can soon say goodbye to the vacuous Kumbaya, “Can’t We All Just Get Along?” and “Reaching Across the Aisle” inauthentic opposition bullshit and start holding these motherfuckers accountable for their miles-long list of crimes…
Absolutely. the Republicans have entirely changed the rules of the game. McConnell over in the Senate continues to shred centuries of tradition and precedent. The SCOTUs is in the hands of political players and will be for decades to come.
The only foothold that the Rule of Law has is 1/2 of one branch of government. While that is meager at best, it can be leveraged to at least turn over the rock and expose the white grubs of corruption that the modern GOP has become.
So many targets in this one sentence!
Republicans == The Russian stooges
are outraged == shed crocodile tears
at the display == about majority rule
accusing Democrats of playing politics == engaged in shameless hypocrisy
trying to smear the pResident == over proper oversight of the Orange Shitbag.
