Here Are The Investigations You Can Expect Democrats To Open When They Take Control Of The House
Daily Caller ^ | November 13, 2018 | Henry Rodgers

“Schiff has made it clear that the Democrats’ priority as [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] HPSCI majority will be to run endless investigations of the Trump administration designed to invent some pretext for impeachment, whether Russia-related or not. He’s even publicly outlined Trump investigations he wants to see other committees run, so we expect they’ll have very little on their agenda beyond that sort of political messaging,” a Republican HPSCI aide told The Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday.

Here are a few of the at least 85 investigations the democrats are expected to launch:

•President Trump’s tax returns
•Trump family businesses — and whether they comply with the Constitution's emoluments clause, including the Chinese trademark grant to the Trump Organization
•Trump's dealings with Russia, including the president's preparation for his meeting with Vladimir Putin
•The payment to Stephanie Clifford — a.k.a. Stormy Daniels
•James Comey's firing
•Trump's firing of U.S. attorneys
•Trump's proposed transgender ban for the military
•Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's business dealings

In a way, it will be nice going into 2020 with the contrast of Trump putting people back to work while the Democrats in the House main priority is digging for dirt like a bunch of bitter exes.

Every time they open one of these committees, President Trump needs to open one of those indictments he supposedly has ready on a deep state DemocRAT that corresponds to what they are accusing him of. For instance, when they study his family business, open indictment on the Clinton foundation,

If political prosecution is the name of the game, the Democrats hold a particularly weak hand. There’s already enough public domain evidence out there to throw the entire leadership in jail... what have we got to lose by doing so? Civility? Votes in elections which will be stolen anyway?

Go scorched earth on Democrats for the next 2 years. There are no innocents in that camp to worry about.

I agree. And by doing so, Trump will basically guarantee he gets reelected in 2020.

I hope they investigate if the President is using alternative [chan]nels to communicate with the American people.

Like, on the internet and stuff.

Yawn. These are small, sad people. Trump will demand lower prescription drugs, a massive public/private infrastructure bill and healthcare reform. All on his terms.

He’ll make the idiots in congress put forth bills that he will sign. He’ll make them think they won.

These people are infantile. They have no idea who they are up against. Trump is not Bush.

He is an animal they are completely unfamaliar with.

He’s already schlonged them.

Well delay seems easy.

Open a few investigations and then say “cant comment on existing investigations”.

Or just refuse to show. Big woop.

The one party endlessly tries to haunt the President. The media creeps are a big part of the disruptions hurting the country.

They should use the rats tactics. I don’t recall, take the fifth or just not show up.

Well let’s face it, the next two years will all about “Revenge Against Trump” for quote-unquote “Stealing the Election from Hitlery Clinton.”

The Democrats and Mueller are a haunting image directed toward Trump’s Presidency. It is like an Alfred Hitchcock Political movie.

“They should use the rats tactics. I don’t recall, take the fifth or just not show up.” Absolutely. The Repubs jack swat” against Hussain/Holder/Hillary relative to so-called investigations. I doubt if the democRATs are any more competent than the Establishment RINOS. On our side as someone mentioned Trump's DOJ can indite a democRAP a day plus “leaking” dossiers on on criminal Congress critters

Looks like a list of same old same old to me

Nothing new.

Nothing that hasn’t been tortuously looked at.

Let em make the folks that voted for Trump hate them.

The only thing is they’ve stolen so many house seats and redrew other districts so that it will be very difficult for Rs to take back the house in 2020

Difficult, not impossible

Start grooming REAL conservatives now

Might as well. They’ll steal 2020 too. If voting mattered, democrats wouldn’t let you do it. All that matters is what democrats want.

Fantastic. They (rats) might as well hand President Trump his second term on a silver platter, as well as overwhelming control of both the Senate and the House. In a year or so, every GOP candidate can start campaigning on how great the gains were for *everyone* in President Trump’s first two years. Then the 2018 midterms gave rats control of the House, and since then we’ve had nothing but obstruction and endless, useless, politically motivated investigations. They can then list all the time and money spent on these, along side all the useful legislation that has been rejected or ignored. The rats have nothing positive to bring to the table, nothing productive, and apparently no plans to try to address that. We can hang every single wasted hour, every single squandered dollar around their necks.

I’m damn mad the Justice Department has not conducted an investigation into the theft and corruption from the various Clinton Foundation arms and their countless scams. Announce a new one for every committee hearing.
