    Next month, some thirteen thousand U.S.C.I.S. staff—nearly three-quarters of the total—will be furloughed, due to budget shortfalls. “This Administration is effectively shutting down our country’s congressionally mandated legal-immigration system,” Amaya told me. “It’s an unprecedented move by any Presidential Administration.”

    A club level seat with a heated cushion has been reserved for Mike Pompeo in the contumacious .

    If a Congressional subpoena can be ignored with impunity, there's no check on the executive branch.

    Background here is Pompeo's allegedly retaliatory firing of an IG with two open investigations against him. Pompeo says he didn't know about the investigations.

    This is not the first time Pompeo has rebuffed a House subpoena. He did not comply with a subpoena to provide do ents during the House’s impeachment inquiry into Trump ast year, and several other Trump administration officials refused to testify in that probe.

    In May, after Mr. Linick’s firing, Democratic aides said Mr. Linick had been looking into how the Pompeos had misused a political appointee who is a full-time State Department employee for personal errands. One aide said the employee regularly picked up dry cleaning, made restaurant reservations and walked the family dog, Sherman. The aide said multiple State Department employees had witnessed the transgressions by the Pompeos.
    There are indications the accusations of misuse of resources went much deeper and involved activities related to Mr. Pompeo’s political career. Laws and federal rules prohibit government employees from using taxpayer resources for personal political activities.

    A focus of Mr. Linick’s inquiry was Toni Porter, a longtime friend of the Pompeos’ who is on the State Department payroll as a special adviser to Mr. Pompeo and helped set up domestic travel and events for the couple. For instance, Ms. Porter helped Ms. Pompeo plan two dozen private “Madison Dinners” in a historic room in the State Department. The Pompeos hosted about 500 people total at the taxpayer-funded dinners, with most of the guests being Republican donors and political figures.

    sidebar: Team Trump successfully ran out the clock on Don McGahn's possible testimony during this election cycle.

    The House Judiciary Committee sued former White House Counsel Donald McGahn for his refusal to testify about former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report in April 2019, and that case has been tied up in courts. On Friday, an appeals court said that the committee can make the claim in court, reversing an earlier court decision.
    While the decision was good news for the committee, the matter won’t be resolved any time soon. One of the dissenting judges in that case noted that the House session ends Jan. 3, and “the chances that the committee hears McGahn’s testimony anytime soon are vanishingly slim.”

    o Winehole23!

    This thread is about Democrats.
    Mea culpa, I thought it was about fascism.

    Are you allergic to discussing fascism in your own thread?

    Yeah just checked and it’s not, the guy who created the site likes to troll alt righters so be embedded references to Shapiro in the code.

    Not sure what you mean. I don't think pitching a tent near the Capitol bldg should be a felony unless something else -- an actual crime? -- happens.

    YMMV, of course
