Congressional Democrats subpoena Trump organization
CNN ^ | July 8, 2019 | Katelyn Polantz and Jeremy Herb

Posted on 07/08/2019 3:50:21 PM PDT by Innovative

Congressional Democrats have issued subpoenas to the Trump Organization and other Trump businesses tied to a lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of profiting from foreign governments in violation of the Constitution, but the Justice Department is now asking an appeals court to step in and block the move.

Democrats sent more than three-dozen subpoenas, demanding a response by July 29, seeking to collect evidence about the President's financial records, after a federal judge ruled last month that Democrats could proceed with the legal discovery process in their lawsuit.

There is absolutely NO legitimate reason for this.

Also from the article, the 3rd paragraph:

“But the Justice Department, defending Trump in his presidential capacity, has requested that an appeals court Monday overrule the lower court’s decision and prevent the subpoenas from going forward. If the Democratic members of Congress collected evidence in the emoluments lawsuit, DOJ wrote, Trump “is likely to suffer irreparable injury” because of “intrusive discovery into his personal finances based on the public office he holds.”

They walk past the genuine criminals who conspired to have a coup and who destroyed thousands of subpoenad emails:Bill,Hillary,Chelsea,Huma,McCabe,Comey,Brennan,Clapper and more.

We can’t just let them all get away with it. But we are, so far.

These people are totally nutz. They have no ideas of their own and are not even remotely interested in helping our country. Heck, they’re all wealthy and they’ve got theirs, so why should they care?

"There the DemonRats go again, LOOKING FOR CRIMES."

I prefer to think liberals as demo-gnats.
Annoyingly buzzing about in a chaotic manner,
lacking any substance or logic.

We’re gonna need a lawsuit that will be a test case to get Scotus to limit congressional oversight. After Trump wins re-election they’re going to try to continue this ad infinitum and it’s got to stop. Congress is abusing it’s enumerated powers authority.

Trump is guilty of something, so the fact that we can’t figure out what it is proves that he’s guilty of obstruction of justice for starters. Therefore, we must find out everything there is to know about him, in order to determine what his guilt consists of, and what he’s hiding. It’s a perfectly legitimate procedure...in 16th Century Spain.

This is quite alarming.

The only rationale for doing this is to divert attention from the upcoming chaos that the Dims are about to live through.

if PDJT is a good swimmer, then we can end this Democrappic blizzard of false accuations, once and for all...

“If a man has accused another of laying a spell upon him, but has not proved it, the accused shall go to the sacred river, he shall plunge into the sacred river, and if the sacred river shall conquer him, he that accused him shall take possession of his house. If the sacred river shall show his innocence and he is saved, his accuser shall be put to death.” (Code of Hammurabi, 1700 BCE)

John Roberts gives the dems hope.

Mueller report: It isn’t a set of findings so much as an assertion of what the findings might have been if only there had been more evidence.

Its all BS.

Shortly before the president was inaugurated, while he was still the President-Elect, Donald Trump held a news conference with a female attorney at his side.

There was a long table in front of them. Piled high on the table was a mountain of manila file folders.

The President-Elect announced that he was turning his business holdings over to his adult children. The attorney also spoke at length.

At the time, the President-Elect announced that he was donating all of the income from his foreign holdings to the U.S. Treasury.

So what the hell is the beef of these left-wing maggots in the House? More harassment of the president.
