Bad headline. Trump, indeed any president, can’t “order” or instruct congressional committees to do anything. In the conversation related by Chaffetz, Trump was indicating support for any investigation the committee wanted to pursue. A pledge of cooperation is not an order.

Trump cannot order a House committee to do anything.

He can encourage them, he can say, “Do your job!”, but he cannot order them.

I think at the very least....everyone connected to the management of foundation will be brought into court and face some charges. For the email business....everyone that fired off classified material to Hillary’s address...ought to permanently lose their clearances (never to be given back), and face some type of fine.

MSM distortion thru omission; Example 42:

What Trump said: “You go after everything you want to go after. You look at everything you want to look at.”

MSM headline: “go after everything”

With all respect to yall, the headline isn’t the relevant part in this discourse in my book. I don’t care how inaccuratly the media phrases it, POTUS won’t be trying to subvert the Congressional investigations anymore. Yippee!!

I doubt if this would include Voter Fraud but Who Knows.

I am curious how Trump plans to this organize this investigation that he wants Pence to lead. And particularly when Idiot McConnell has declared that no funding will be provided and where he is clearly opposed to the very idea of an investigation of Voter Fraud.

“They are going to be very, very busy.”


A ship’s bilge pump performs best when the hose is full.

Same goes for draining swamps.

They’re going to need a dedicated courier to carry all the documents and charges to the DOJ from that comittee.
