House investigations of Trump and his administration: The full list
nbc ^ | May 27, 2019 | Alex Moe

Posted on 06/03/2019 8:11:52 PM PDT by ransomnote

The president says it's "harassment." Democrats say they're playing catch-up after two years with virtually no oversight from Republicans.

WASHINGTON — He's making investigations great again — at least in number.

At least 14 Democratic-led House committees have been investigating various aspects of President Donald Trump's businesses, campaign and his presidency since the beginning of this year, an NBC News review shows. In all, those committees have launched at least 50 probes into Trump world.

The investigations include whether Trump obstructed justice in the Russia probes, whether his businesses inflated their assets, how his daughter and son-in-law obtained their security clearances, whether he used his power to interfere with mergers, how his actions might have slowed aid to Puerto Rico, and conflict of interest allegations involving cabinet members.

The NBC review shows the busiest committees appear to be the Judiciary and Oversight panels. Some of the inquiries might have gone dormant, and some are cross-committee — meaning they're being investigated jointly by more than one committee — so they are listed under those committees, but are only counted once in the NBC investigation total.

Trying to tie Gulliver to the ground with countless strings. Wonder how much money their fake investigations are costing the American taxpayers?

Maybe it helps the Dems flood the federal courts with pointless cases in order to delay the prosecution of actual crimes they are committing.

"And marrying a pretty woman."

That he did!

And this "Full List" here?

That's all they have to extract "High Crimes and
Misdemeanors" from.

What are not Cabal Agenda policy disputes, are lies and harassment!

But they are busy, busy, busy, on all fronts.

And desperate.
