President Trump on Tuesday signaled the White House will not comply with a barrage of congressional investigations, accusing Democrats in the House of launching the probes to hurt his chances of winning reelection in 2020.
“It's a disgrace to our country. I'm not surprised that it's happening. Basically, they've started the campaign. So the campaign begins,” Trump told reporters at the White House after signing an executive order on veterans’ suicide prevention.
“Instead of doing infrastructure, instead of doing health care, instead of doing so many things that they should be doing, they want to play games,” he continued.
Trump suggest he was unwilling to comply with the House Judiciary Committee’s requests for documents related to 81 of his associates, citing what he said was former President Obama’s handling of congressional probes during his time in office.
“They didn't give one letter. They didn't do anything. They didn't give one letter of the requests,” he said.
Agreed.
Why would anyone give them any information?
And Trump said that obummer never handed anything over.
Great having a President that fights back.
But msm will leave the obama narrative out of their reporting. Even though it’s true.
Do they even have all of Hillary’s documents yet!!?!?
You’re correct, the enemedia will ignore 0bama and excoriate President Trump.

No need to make it easy for them. Time for some slow walking taste of their own medicine.
Good. Let them subpoena something if it’s that critical. Simple requests? No, not having that.
The main thing I remember about Congressional requests for information from Obama was Eric Holder snarling and insulting Republican congressman who asked him anything.
Specifically on the personal records, Trump has no obligation to release anything from when he was a private citizen. Where were Obama’s tax returns?
Secondly, I’d refuse to release anything until Congress revealed who paid off people on the sexual harassment payoff list. Let’s get names. They can redact the names of the victims but since they were paid off with taxpayer money, the taxpayers deserve to know who these were.
Trump must declare it clearly what it is - pure, unfounded, unconstitutional harassment of him and 81 people he knows.
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
I need a better source unless the MSM is tempting him to add fuel to Nadler’s fire.
Nader can stuff it up his pasty white NYC @$$!
He ought to tell them he smashed all devices with the records on them with hammers and purged the servers with bleach bit. Then when the dems and media scream obstruction and coverup, announce “oh no, that wasnt me, that was Hillary. I forgot because it didn’t upset you then. Anyway I still have everything. And you still aren’t getting any of it”
Trump should just say “If you want something from me , just send your leader Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to come and fetch them from me....”

Trump needs to use the NDAA and drop the bomb on the democrat party. One shooting war with them was enough, and they’re spoiling for another.
Has anyone seen or heard from William Barr since his confirmation hearing? I didn't think so. Since day one, this president has had no one and no voice at DOJ/AG to watch his back. Except for Whitaker. Who was short-lived, gagged, and has since been deep-sixed with no explanation.
As to Barr the deep-stater ever being a pit bull like Holder, it ain't gonna happen. Another eunuch like the previous one. There are a few state attorneys general who are fighting the good fight against the left and would make outstanding AG's but you never ever hear their names mentioned at the White House/Trump Tower. This is a very strange disconnect.
Again it seems the only ones who advise and give input to Trump on his horrific hiring and firing decisions have been and continue to be his darling daughter and the son-in-law. The TRUE power behind the throne. Who both had to change their party affiliations in NYC from Democrat to Republican when daddy ran for the presidency. Tell you anything?
