From the link....

The spreadsheet — which I’m told originated in a senior House Republican office — catalogs more than 100 formal requests from House Democrats this Congress, spanning nearly every committee.

* The spreadsheet includes requests for administration officials to be grilled by committee staff, requests for hearings to obtain sworn testimony, efforts to seize communications about controversial policies and personnel decisions, and subpoena threats.

* These demands would turn the Trump White House into a 24/7 legal defense operation.

The bottom line: Thanks to their control of Congress, Republicans have blocked most of the Democrats’ investigative requests. But if the House flips, the GOP loses its power to stymie. Lawyers close to the White House tell me the Trump administration is nowhere near prepared for the investigatory onslaught that awaits them, and they consider it among the greatest threats to his presidency.

The headline makes it sound like it’s a Dem generated spreadsheet, but - if I’m reading correctly, it is a Republican generated spreadsheet issued as a warning/fight back plan?

Regardless, you are correct...Let’s make sure there’s no blue wave!!!!!

I read it as being Republican generated, too, which makes me wonder whiskey-tango-halifax are they doing? I hope it’s the Tsun Tzu/Boy Scout thing about being prepared, but there are too many pubbies in my allowance for doubtful accounts to relax about it. I’d rather crush the Dems in the midterms and put this on the back burner for a while.
