White House Sarah Huckabee Sanders made another of her frequent appearances on “Fox and Friends” Wednesday morning, playing defense after House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) issued a list of 81 people of interest in the Trump investigation.

“What Chairman Nadler is missing that the first two years were not about oversight,” Sanders said. “They were about success.”

She added that he is undermining the will of the voters who got President Donald Trump elected.

Nadler is just one of the prominent House Democrats spearheading aggressive attempts to probe possible administration misdeeds after two years of a lax environment under Republican control.

    Then President Fat Ass failed on both counts, didn’t he, Miss Unibrow?

  3. I think he could get more than 2 years… 18-24 seems about right.
    Kushner is the one with the real death sentence hanging over him.
    Oops, did I say “death sentence”? It’s just an expression, right?

  4. Will SHS please list the successes? And then how long it took to get them? Just trying to figure out the productivity rate of a Congress controlled by one party without oversight issues.
