Dems Warn Trump: Donāt āObstructā Our 'Oversight And Investigative Effortsā
Itās like admonishing a dung beetle not to eat shit.
This is pretty much a Miranda warning.
I hope Pelosi remembered to include a bunch of money to renovate and expand the cells at the Congressā disposal.
Seems like their Sergeant-at-Arms may have to host at least dozens, if not hundreds, of Trump staff and appointees for the next couple of yearsā¦
I love the smell of Democratās power in the morning.
I like that.
and @swampcritter - me too.
Another article of impeachment.
No, its more like a shot across the bow.
Question. Unlike DOJās inability to enforce obstruction against the President, what enforcement options do these committees have? Contempt, censure? Iām not up to speed on these Congressional maneuvers. In any case, I hope Ind. 1 gets slapped with something every time he opens his mouth about their investigations.
Trump will refuse to cooperate with the House investigation of his treasonous collusion with Russia.
I believe Trump will try his best to suppress the Mueller report.
I also suspect that the Mueller report, or the most important findings and evidence therein, shall be provided to the appropriate committees in both the House and the Senate, one way or another.
If Schiff wants, he can subpoena Mueller, and Mueller can testify.
If Trump attempts to suppress that testimony through the use of Executive Privilege, I believe it will work its way through the courts, and if it is still suppressed, it shall be leaked.
The name āTrumpā will go down in US history much, much darker than the name "Benedict Arnold."
We see your 17 lawyers and your sleazy attack on a witnessā father, and weāre telling you, donāt fuck with us.
I like to see a bit of good old fashioned orneriness and righteous indignation in my Democratic chairmen, especially with the wherewithal to back it up.
See my comment about the Sergeant-at-Arms. They could hold people in contempt, and have the Sergeant-at-Arms arrest them and hold them until willing to testify. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Cool. Iād also like see Ind. 1 slapped with censure every time he disparages one of these committee members with an insulting tag. As in Litāl Adam. The next few months are going to be sweet!
Iād bet that the courier already has over 2 dozen addresses
loaded up for delivering certain ā¦ papers ā¦
A multitude of dozens.
I would like to see this option exercised. I hope the Sargeant-at-Arms is well trained and equipped. This option is quite unused to being exercised.
Yeah Iād love to see the Democrats quit trying to do things in Congress the polite way, the way where they respect everyone and assume everyone is acting in good faith. This bunch we just elected knows better. We need to get tough as tough as we are able to with control of only the House.
