Senate Democrats are requesting the Government Accountability Office (GAO) open an investigation into the costs of President Trump's July 4th celebration, including if it complied with legal restrictions on political activity.

Democratic Sens. Tom Udall (N.M.), Patrick Leahy (Vt.) and Chris Van Hollen (Md.) said in a letter to Gene Dodaro, GAO's comptroller general, that they are "concerned by the impacts and the precedent of diverting limited Federal resources " for the July 4th events.

"Further, we are troubled by reports that preferential access to the National Mall was organized by political entities such as the Republican National Committee, which furthers the appearance that taxpayer funds were used to accomplish political objectives," they added.

The letter comes after Udall accused the Department of Interior last week of refusing to answer an inquiry from lawmakers about Trump's Independence Day plans, including how the additional cost of the plans will be covered.

Unlike all of the investigations on Trump the Dems are launching on the taxpayer's dime, right?

Michelle Obama got $100 MILLION to provide ‘schooling’ for girls. When does the ‘schooling’ part begin ?

“The Dems are nuts.”

And they are importing millions who are just as nuts.

“Yet they don’t mind spending billions on illegal aliens.”

They have been buying votes with the working class money since Johnson’s Great Society.

We will never be rid of 30+ million illegals.

Compare it to Obama’s annual vacation expenses A month on Marth’sVineyard with secret service isn’t cheap.

What looks like fervor and energy from the Democratic Party is really desperation and despair. The Democratic Party is dying and its death throes they will seek to do anything and everything to keep the criminal syndicate intact and producing wealth for the criminals that run it. This will not end well to anyone but for the Democratic Party it will be the end. I suspect that sooner rather than later the Democratic Party will split into two.

In 10 years nobody normal will admit to being a Democrat.

“We will never be rid of 30+ million illegals.”

Defeatist much? If you have lost all hope then do so quietly - other people ae busy fighting.
