More than that, the liberals are using this to continue their bullschiff narrative that the DOJ is playing "bodyguard" for the President. You know, because foiling their latest scheme, by pointing out what they want isn't legal, is playing 'bodyguard'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 3 52 minutes ago, Deranged Rhino said: I believe it is. The main reason they got control is because the people behind/around Trump purged the GOP prior to the elections of (almost) all the bad actors. 40+ congressmen decided not to run, including heavyweights like Ryan. This wasn't a fluke or an accident -- they were given the option to step down early and avoid the spotlight, or go down publicly with the rest. The Senate was the more important midterm target for the larger picture. Retaining the Senate, especially the judiciary committee, was key for what's coming next. The House committees can hold hearings and create headlines, but they're powerless to do anything of substance. Unlike the Senate. After 2020 I think there's a very high chance the DNC loses the House and Oval. That'll give Trump 2 years to really work unimpeded by the bad actors (there will still be political/partisan opposition, but not the nefarious sort we've seen). (imo of course / reading tea leaves) If there was anything wrong with them, the IRS would have already let the world know in 2015/2016. This whole sideshow is for the lesser informed partisans out there, it's really irrelevant. It's so obvious to everyone but in the end, who is accountable for all this wasted time? It's not like these idiots are making minimum wage! Most of the schmucks are lawyers who would otherwise, bill us by the hour. Can you imagine their reaction if we pissed away their time the same way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 yeah, in the 80s and 90s real estate tax laws allowed for a lot of write-offs, the crash of 89 gave me some great files when they sued the accountants and Trump wrote a book about bouncing back, something like Art of the Comeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 A federal judge had tough questions for the lawyers leading the effort by President Trump and his businesses to block a House subpoena of Trump’s accounting firm for his financial records. At a hearing on Tuesday in D.C., U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta grilled Trump’s lawyer William Consovoy about his arguments that the subpoena exceeded Congress’ constitutional authorities. At one point, Mehta asked Consovoy if it was his view that Congress’ investigations into Whitewater and Watergate were beyond the scope of their authority. Consovoy stammered a bit, before telling the judge he would need to look more closely at the bases of those investigations. Tuesday’s proceeding was the first public hearing in a matter related to the multi-front showdown between President Trump and House Democrats over Congress’ oversight abilities. But it’s likely to be the first of many. In this case, private attorneys working on behalf of Trump and his business sued to stop their accounting firm from complying with a House subpoena for business records. The House Democrats have intervened to defend their subpoena. The accounting firm, Mazars has not taken a position in the matter. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/hearing-trump-mazars-oversight-subpoena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 So Trump's lawyers are trying to make it so Congress can never investigate the president. Will the Supreme Court side with King Donald on that? What a precedent to set there! They are arguing since no crime, conflict of interest or ethical concern has been proven, Congress cannot ask for anything from the executive branch.

SoCal Deek Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Since these are co-equal branches of government I’d like to know when it’s the President’s turn to start calling members of Congress into his office for public shamings (hearings).

If I were Trump I would continue to tell them to pound sand... I didn't know there was a law in place that required a POTUS to be audited, and hell, with all the business Trump is involved in the IRS might as well be the ones doing his taxes for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
