House Democrats plan to investigate EVERYTHING TRUMP and bog him down with scores of subpoenas!
2018-11-13
[Right Scoop] If you thought the media and the Democrats went crazy during the first two years of Trump’s presidency, just wait and see now nutso they go during the second two years. Democrats are already planning to investigate everything under the sun related to Trump and are preparing a ’subpoena cannon’ to constantly fire at him. This is all a plan to find anything they can to try and impeach Trump.

AXIOS ‐ House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible "leverage" by Russia, top Democrats tell us.

What they’re saying: One senior Democratic source said the new majority, which takes power in January, is preparing a "subpoena cannon," like an arena T-shirt cannon.

Incoming House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told "Axios on HBO" that he expects Trump to resist the committees’ requests, demands and subpoenas ‐ likely pushing fights over documents and testimony as far as the Supreme Court.

#13  Thus the circling of sharks (Macron, Acosta, etal.).

They're trying to put together a "kill shot" (metaphorically speaking, of course.)

#11  It'll be interesting if they freeze the government and Trump does an executive order to keep the military funded and then just waits them out.

#10  The House is perpetually bogged down trying to get annual appropriations out. I expect no different with the Donks, if even more so, with the usual Omnibus Treasury buster as their answer*. I recommend continuing resolutions.

* if we ever get back to a republic, make sure that if the legislative branch fails to deliver appropriations before the end of the fiscal year - all members are barred from reelection or appointment to any federal office for 10 years.

#7  Good. They will have their House majority yanked from them in 2020 as a result. This is the last thing that a solid majority of Americans want to see

Perez. Ring Leader of the flagrant vote steeling Democratic National Committee criminal cartel. I call them cartel, because they go by the cartel playbook.
