Portraying himself as unjustly persecuted in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, Trump said his White House would refuse to co-operate with further congressional investigation.
” We’re fighting all the subpoenas ” Trump declared on Wednesday. And if House members go all the way and try to impeach him , he said he would ” head to the Supreme Court ” for help.
” I thought after two years we’d be finished with it. No , now the House goes and starts subpoenaing ” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn , asserting the probes have been commissioned solely for political advantage.
” Look , these aren’t , like , impartial people ” he said. ” The Democrats are trying to win 2020 “.
” The only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense ” Trump said “. But they should be really focused on legislation “.
Exactly ! … If you can’t handle a ‘ wall ‘ , what exactly have ya got in mind for dealing with the onslaught of illegal entry into the country ?!!! … Besides just waving a wand and instantly make them ‘ legal ‘ ?!!! … What have ya done to create even MORE jobs ?!!! … SQUAT !!! …
They’ve been solely focused on ONE THING … Deny the will of the people and get rid of a duly elected President , ’cause they REALLY thought they were gonna win !!! …
Trump has railed against Mueller’s report , even resorting to public profanity in dismissing it , but has also embraced it, claiming exoneration and painting any other attempt as partisan overreach.
” You want to see the nonpartisan , definitive , conclusive taxpayer-funded lengthy unobstructed , unimpeded , un-interfered with investigation ? You just saw it and it’s called the Mueller report ” senior counsellor Kellyanne Conway said Wednesday.
But the Democrats , while debating whether to proceed down a path toward impeachment , have ratcheted up their own probes. The White House , in turn , has moved to stop them , laying the groundwork for what could be months of legal and political battles.
” We’re going to evaluate each request as they come , but we are not going to allow for congressional harassment ” said Trump attorney Jay Sekulow. ” And in that context , when appropriate , we will respond appropriately … Which will include litigation when necessary “…
Over just the past few days , the White House has thrown up a series of stop signs.
- The Trump Organization filed a lawsuit against the chairman of the House Oversight Committee to stop his efforts to obtain the company’s financial records.
- Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin ignored Tuesday’s House deadline to turn over the president’s tax returns, instead asserting that he will decide next month.
- The White House failed to provide its former personnel security director, Carl Kline , to testify before Congress over how some West Wing aides , including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump , obtained security clearances , leading the House to hold Kline in contempt.
- The White House asserted it will fight any congressional subpoena , including one for former White House Counsel Don McGahn , an important figure in the Mueller investigation , to appear and provide documents.
” We’re going to fight everything; we already gave them every document and witness we have ” said Rudy Giuliani, another of the president’s attorneys.
” Why do we have to do it again ? “…
Because Queen Shrillary is STILL upset because she wasn’t ‘ anointed ‘ and made the first estrogen fueled Commander and Cheif !!! … And the HUUUUGE gaggle of Dems can’t accept that reality !!! …
I agree 100 % with Trump and Rudy … ENOUGH’S ENOUGH !!! … Let’s work at making the country better FOR THE PEOPLE instead of throwing tantrums over who’s at the plate at the moment …
It’s been goin’ back and forth for closin’ in on 250 years !!! … You’ll get your turn again … Get some work done in the mean time …
Get OVER IT … And GET ON with it !!! …
