Trump’s lawyers decided president could unilaterally take over Congress

his lawyers claimed he had the power to take over the role allocated to Congress.

“The president, the lawyers believed, could ignore the requirements of the Impoundment Control Act and

continue to hold the aid by asserting cons utional commander in chief powers that give him authority over diplomacy,” reported The Times.

“He could do so, they believed, if he determined that, based on existing cir stances, releasing the money would undermine military or diplomatic efforts.”

Others in the administration knew better and tried to warn Trump against it, namely conservative John Bolton.

Office of Management and Budget aide Robert Blair told chief of staff Mick Mulvaney that Trump could try to hold back the aide, but warned it wouldn’t go well.

“Expect Congress to become unhinged”

if the White House tried to counter the spending passed by Congress.

He further warned Mulvaney that

the act could further accusations that Trump is operating on behalf of Russia.

You give politics the importance it doesn’t have. Heck, half the people don’t even vote.

Excuse me, what did Lindsey Graham just say? He seems shook here

In the same hour Rudy Giuliani told the press he would not comply with congressional subpoenas related to the impeachment inquiry and his shady work in Ukraine,

Sen. Lindsey Graham ran into a gaggle of reporters in a Senate hallway and

one reporter said,

“20 years ago, you said not complying with a subpoena was an impeachable offense.”

Before the reporter could even ask what had changed, Graham stammered and interrupted,

“Nothing’s changed.”

Politics may not be important to "half the people", but that's their fault and their problem. Politicians and the asshole judges they install run the country.

[ChumpDumper]

To prove grounds that Trump rightfully pursued a joint investigation in to Ukrainian corruption by Biden. Wtf else would Biden be subpoenaed?

Oh, then why doesn't your Trump take the stand himself?

Sounds like he could clear everything up in six or seven hours of sworn testimony at his trial.

When you consistently about the POTUS for hours on end, it seems to me it becomes your problem too, tbh

lol

also

if he was doing a legit presidential action- why did he panic and release the aid after getting caught?

seems like he could have held his ground and just say “im looking out for the USA - bring on the investigation and i will prove my actions were perfect!”

while continuing to withhold the aid.

bull ing

The conservative SCOTUS s?

C-U corrupting politics without limits

ruled corporations are "people"

gutted VRA, permitting red states' voter suppression

approved partisan gerrymandering.

crippled ACA by making Medicaid expansion optional (10Ks suffered and died without Medicaid)

ruled tax money could be used by churches (and Gorsuch says separation of Church and State is bull )

agreed to weaponize 1st and 2nd Amenments

etc, etc.

With a solid, unsquishy 5 conservative S after decades VRWC strategy of trying for 5,

expect much more crap from those 5,

eg, abortion legality up to the states, which be both racist and misogynist since mostly poor (black, brown) women will be affected, the ones who can't afford to travel for legal abortion, or resort to backstreet/DIY abortion.

Even more destruction of separation of (Christian) Church and State.

etc, etc.

America is ed and un able, by explicit intention, not by accident or by "natural" processes

Shocking new Ukraine revelations could make McConnell’s impeachment scheme even riskier for GOP

new evidence uncovered by the New York Times could complicate his efforts — or potentially doom the GOP if he pulls off the sham trial,

layers of new detail on the turmoil inside the administration

stirred up months ago by Trump’s demand to withhold military aid from Ukraine in exchange for the announcement of investigations into Joe Biden and his son.

Top White House and Cabinet officials were implicated in the report, which showed that

some officials worked to advance Trump’s demands as

others begged him not to go through with the scheme that eventually led to his impeachment.

many of these officials who were directly involved with Trump’s freezing of aid

are the same ones Trump blocked from appearing before the House impeachment inquiry,”

it’s highly likely that additional evidence will come out after the GOP-led Senate acquits the president.

The administration is currently fighting to block the release of do ents from the Pentagon and the Office of Management and Budget related to the Ukraine scheme, and a ruling could come as soon as March.

“That could come after Senate Republicans ran a sham trial and acquitted Trump,” Sargent wrote.

“Do they really want to be on the hook for having suppressed such evidence,

even in the face of a whole new round of deeply incriminating revelations?”

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/12/sho..._campaign=3341

“Do they really want to be on the hook" ??

no, they SIMPLY DON'T CARE,

as their Senate majority won't be affected.

Just like with Russian collusion, Trash is blocking the investigations which would have CONVICTED him if not blocked.
