House Democrats on Friday introduced a sweeping government reform package designed to weed Washington of corruption and bolster voting rights across the country two of the partys principal campaign promises as its top legislative priority.
Central to the package is a provision requiring the president and vice president to disclose their finances and tax forms going back 10 years a direct shot at President Trump, who has defied historic precedent by refusing to release his tax returns.
Over the last two years, President Trump set the tone from the top in his administration that behaving ethically and complying with the law is optional, said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), chairman of the Oversight and Reform Committee.
This is our watch, and the American people are looking for us to take action.
The reforms have little chance of moving through the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) stands in staunch opposition to the proposals.
But the legislation and the Democrats decision to launch it as their first act of business signals that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) intends to use her gavel to move quickly on the campaign vows that won Democrats the House majority, while putting Senate GOP leaders in the tough spot of explaining their inaction on drain-the-swamp reforms that enjoy overwhelming public support.
We are introducing legislation to clean up corruption and restore integrity to government, Pelosi, flanked by dozens of Democratic lawmakers, said during a packed press briefing in the Capitol.
The American people will know that this is an option that the House has given the Senate of the United States and the president of the United States to take action in support of the American people.
The package features dozens of proposals, grouped broadly into three categories: limiting the influence of money in politics, making it easier to vote, and adopting tougher ethics rules for Washington policymakers.
Democratic leaders are moving the package quickly under the premise that reforming how the government operates will boost the publics trust in Congress, thereby greasing the skids for the issue-based reforms Democrats are promising later in the year, including big-ticket items addressing infrastructure, immigration and health care concerns.
We heard loud and clear from the American people that they feel left out and locked out too often from their own democracy, said Rep. John Sarbanes (Md.), who led the Democrats in cobbling together the reform package.
In return for giving us the gavel, were going to do everything we can, every single day, to give you your democracy back.
On the campaign finance side, the legislation would not cap political spending, but would require political organizations to reveal their large donors. The provision is a response to a 2010 Supreme Court decision allowing unrestricted and anonymous campaign spending by corporations and unions.
These troubling proven facts indicate Democraps' wholesale culpability:
<><> the House Paki spy ring improperly mixed Democrat members data with other members data,
<><> Democrat members provided almost no supervision,
<><> the countless egregious violations by Paki IT aides,
<><> House intel impacting Americans' safety and security was conducted IN Pakistan;
<><> govt issue tech equipment reported "stolen" was being sold for cold cash;
<><> Congress threw in $10 million extra tax dollars in supposedly enhance "cybersecurity programs"...where is the money?
Democrats looked the other way b/c they got something of value in return for giving Paki spies free reign over us US intel.
What were Democraps getting? Two things that matter most to Democrats. Votes and money.
<><> The Pakistani spy ring had access to ALL the House Democrats Congressional data including Democrats' constituent emails.
The Pakis were using Cong Xavier Becerras House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.
Crucial data was completely out of the Democrat House members possession. Was it sold off to America's enemies?
==============================================
Then-Cong Becerra headed the House Congressional Democrat Caucus. Becerra gave the Paki spies free reign over all US intel held by Democrats.
<><> Becerra's IT---the only IT authorized to use Becerra's computer equipment--- is on-record as logging on about 300 times.
<><> The rest of the Paki spy crew were accessing intel on Becerra's computer thousands of times using Becerra's passwords and codes.
This clearly shows the Paki spies were operating as a cohesive, collusive undercover unit.
Becerra was looking the other way.
===================================
Becerra---now Cali's top lawman----refuses to answer questions about this. According to the House investigative report:
<><>The Paki spy team Awan was logging in to Xavier Becerras House Democratic Caucus server with 17 different accounts
<><> The spies were accessing data belonging to Congressional Democrats offices that had no connection to the Democrat Caucus.
OF NOTE--These patterns were consistent with data being funneled onto Becerras server from other members of Congress, but Democrats said Becerra never alerted them to any aberrations.

And while we're at it why don't we publish *all* the details of the secret Congressional sexual harassment payouts over the last 20 years?
Do we have a deal,Bella Pelosi? Do we have a deal,Chuck U Schumer?
On a serious side, it will pass the House and the Republican Senate will fold like a cheap suit.
Really?
Do tell.
ITEM---Nancy Pelosi authorized the Paki crew to access the computers of eight ranking Democratic members who sit on crucial House Intel Committees. In a March 16 letter, Pelosi stated: [W]e request you include adequate funding to the House Office of the Sergeant at Arms to support Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information Security (TS/SCI) Clearance investigations for individual designees from each House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Members personal staff.
ITEM---Pelosi appointed the first Muslim Congressman to a key House intel position.
========================================
MEET THE MUSLIM CONGRESSMAN W/ A STRANGLEHOLD ON YOUR SAFETY AND SECURITY
How did Andre Carson get on several major Congressional intel committees? Rep Andre Carson (Dem-Indiana) is a member of (A) the House Intelligence and (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also ranking member of the (C) House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees the (D) Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to the (E) National Counterterrorism Center and (F) information-sharing programs. (The first elected Muslim---Cong Keith Ellison---is co-chair of the DNC.)
Rep Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat----is the second Muslim elected to Congress-----and the first Muslim on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Carson sits on several high level security committees: (A) the House Intelligence, and, (B) House Homeland Security Committees. Carson is also (C) ranking member of the House intelligence subcommittee on Emerging Threats, which oversees (D) the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The subcommittee oversight extends to (E) the National Counterterrorism Center and information-sharing programs.
==============================================
SHOCKING To get these important committee appointments, Andre Carson has to be bringing in serious money for Democrats-----monies required by the DNC. These high-level committee appointments are "positions for sale." Every appointment has a dollar amount attached to it that Members desiring the positions are required to raise. Taxpayers demand to know if Carson is channeling Islamicist cash directly into the DNC.
=======================================
NOTE---Democrat Cong Andre Carson employed the Paki head spy and is buddy-buddy w/ the Pakis. Eye-witnesses report Carson and Imran---a tax-paid US govt employee---passed the time away playing video games in Carson's Congressional office. An astute FReeper posted
Yeah, right. The Aligators really want to drain the swamp.
The “Voting Rights” BS is the only real change they want. The tax info is just now, and just Trump.
Everyone’s eyes are on 2020. The Fix didn’t work in 2016, so the Donks are determined to correct that.
I am sure 2020 is on Trump’s mind, else all gains are lost. I think he knows that his young son’s future is at stake.
I still have good, Christian friends that are offended by my Trump gear (hat and/or t-shirt) because "of the way he treats women", meaning the "grab them by the pussy" remark of two years ago.
They burnt that into the conscience of so many people in a relatively short time, that any adverse commentary, true or false, more easily found a nest in the decision making process.
It's our turn now.
At every opportunity ...

To drain the swamp now, all the RATS would have to drown themselves.
What a big steaming load! THEY ARE THE CORRUPTION !
Knarf ... quit stuttering.
This canard of “fighting to guarantee voting rights in America” is flat-out deliberate ignorance — an attempt to further retard the mental capacity of mushy minds.
I want someone to show me ONE PERSON who is legally eligible to vote in this country who is being denied voting rights and I will personally go to that person, that jurisdiction, and make sure that he/she/it gets to vote.
I.e., the premise is horse-sheet. What they want is to give voting rights to people who are by law ineligible. I.e., they want to overturn law; i.e., they are lawless.
We are introducing legislation to clean up corruption and restore integrity to government, Pelosi,
Oxymoron
