Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee unleashed a sprawling probe of President Trump's family, campaign and administration on Monday, that includes more than 80 requests for documents from associates of the president.
Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Judiciary Democrats are expanding their probes into the president’s inner circle and family, as well as individuals involved in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting; plans to build a Trump property in Moscow; and a scheme to pay off women to alleged affairs with Trump before the 2016 election.
Less than a week after the president’s former attorney Michael Cohen delivered explosive public testimony against him on Capitol Hill, Nadler rolled out the expansive investigation that will focus on three key areas: obstruction of justice, public corruption and abuses of power.
In a statement, Nadler accused Trump of evading “accountability for his near-daily attacks on our basic legal, ethical, and constitutional rules and norms.”
“Investigating these threats to the rule of law is an obligation of Congress and a core function of the House Judiciary Committee,” Nadler said. “We have seen the damage done to our democratic institutions in the two years that the Congress refused to conduct responsible oversight. Congress must provide a check on abuses of power.”
The committee is demanding a trove of documents from the White House, including those related to the removal of former national security adviser Michael Flynn; the termination of former FBI Director James Comey; and any conversations about the removal of special counsel Robert Mueller.
The committee is also asking for documents from a slew of current and former White House and administration officials, including Flynn; Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner; former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus; former White House communications director Hope Hicks; and former White House counsel Don McGahn.

I do too! Viscerally! If Nadler were to die today, I’d line up to pi$$ on his grave!
This is absolutely insane.
What new information would possibly make Trump supporters re-think their support? I cannot think of anything. What if they proved Trump lied repeatedly about business dealings in Russia with potential for large cash payments from Putin to Trump that were going on during the campaign and even into the start of the Trump administration? I’m not sure even that would move people.
Beria would be proud.
This is a declaration of war.
CW II, as predicted
The SHTF..............................
Is anybody ever going to fight back? Trump has stood alone in DC long enough, where the hell is the republican leadership?
Pond scum would look down on Nadler.
It is getting close to the end of Mueller time— and indictment time under the EO 19. Lot’s of targets who have “benefited from human rights abuses” in just one segment of the order.
Demonrats... all of them— are scared. As are all who profited from Uranium 1 and interlinked pedophiles with the original Russian lobbyist contacts.
Nadler, of course is a fat slob of a commie marxist apparat. Who is going to have his head handed to him.
They can ask and even demand documents they will NOT be getting. And by demanding they will LOSE in 2020... out of office period. Cleansing.
Claim Executive privelage and seal the records.
Tell Nadless to go and pound sand.

because they know they can’t beat him legit in 2020..that is what this is all about..they know they can’t beat him so instead they are going to investigate forever trying to force him out..welcome to the new Communist left
THEY will overturn the election of the POTUS, the man WE elected. THEY will make sure WE never go against THEM again.
“where the hell is the republican leadership“
republican leadership -oxymoron.
It is a challenge. President knows what to do. I Rosen weasel gone yet?
I wpnder how many Dems will have to die before they end this insanity? Of course, that would require an organized resistance which would put down the coup attempt.
