With impeachment no longer in their arsenal, Democrats are coming to terms with a new reality: they have few, if any, weapons to take on an emboldened President Donald Trump as he openly settles scores with his political adversaries and continues breaching the wall between the Justice Department and Oval Office.
Democrats vented outrage Tuesday over Trump's attack on his own DOJ prosecutors and his demand of a lighter sentence for longtime ally Roger Stone. One after another, top Democrats in the House and Senate said Trump's 2 a.m. Twitter intervention further erodes the rule of law.
“Coupled with the president’s blatant retaliation against those who helped expose his wrongdoing, the Trump administration poses the gravest threat to the rule of law in America in a generation,” said House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, the lead prosecutor in Trump's impeachment trial.
Yet so far, Democrats are offering an unsettled array of responses that a post-impeachment Congress can make to rein in Trump or highlight alleged transgressions by the president.
Some are calling for new investigations and attempts at traditional congressional oversight. Others are suggesting that Democrats could withhold appropriations from key agencies to get answers to their investigative inquiries. Others say DOJ watchdogs should investigate and others still say any response to Trump's behavior is now up to voters in the November elections.

They can't stop themselves. Fingers crossed that San Fran Gran Nan will soon be groveling for votes to become the minority leader. Bonus - she may not get 'em.
Will come up with more fake evidence.
Those clymers are anything but President Trump's prosecutors.
Freeper Extremely Extreme Extremist: Trump got Liu to step down as US Attorney for DC by nominating her to a top Treasury Dept. Job, then appointed Timothy O'Shea to be the new US Attorney for DC...and then he WITHDREW LIU'S NOMINATION the same day all these prosecutor's are QUITTING.
Sic Semper Deep State Snakes...
Oh, The Huge Manatee!!!
Catch me if you can , btches
The rats really screwed themselves with the fake impeachment.
The rats used to be a very unified collection of misfits. When the extreme left took over they now have wall to wall infighting, which is icing on their impeachment cake.
The sad part for them is Trump’s approval ratings skyrocketed even though he’s getting the worst press coverage ever possible. He fills stadiums and the rats can’t fill a telephone booth.
However they can win this next election through fraud. Count on it.
Hmmm... another government shut down?
Pretty please. Let Trump win this one too
democraps can go to a rather warm place. And it is not Hell, Michigan ( yes that is a name in Lower Michigan (Located in pickney county northwest of Ann Arbor)
I share your fear about vote fraud.
But do you think for one moment that Trump isn’t aware of this threat?
Whatever countermeasures are being put into place, it would be bad operational security to make them public at this early date.
I suspect that soon after President Trump is reelected they will begin another impeachment witch hunt.
Unless we can take back the House.
Just-us Dept is part of the Executive branch; the POTUS is the chief law enforcement officer of the nation.
Do these lying propagandists ever stop??
In other words, the rats are screwed and tattooed.
Note tagline. That explains it all.

We solve this by demoting them to a minority in the house
