Cohen is upset because he could have used that money to buy votes and line pockets.

They might find “a” judge, but if it gets to SCOTUS, the Dems don’t have a leg to stand on

Bar already gave them more than he was legally required to give them

Nadler knows this. He was on the Judiciary committee when the special Counsel rules were written because Dems were upset that the Independent Counsel rules allowed Starr to release all the juicy tidbits

Jeffries: You embarrassed those two (Struyk and Page)! They made mistakes, but you embarrassed those two!
LOLOL.

DOJ to Nadler: Threaten Barr With Impeachment, You Get Nothing…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/05/07/doj-to-nadler-threaten-barr-with-impeachment-you-get-nothing/

Last couple of paragraphs from link:

The only thing AG Barr was statutorily required to provide was the four-page summary letter he already presented. Asking President Trump to throw the executive privilege blanket over the full work product effectively shields it from congressional review; AND simultaneously blocks congress from proceeding with any impeachment action.

The assertion of executive privilege effectively removes any lack of production action (ie. the impeachment threat) by Chairman Jerry Nadler.

Essentially AG Barr et al is going old school with classic separation of power. POTUS Trump built a bridge from executive to legislative branch with voluntary production; however, if Nadler wants to be a resistance member then the executive branch will pull back and the customary three-branch separation of power rules will be the standard form of engagement.

Smart play.

The more face time Jerry Waddler & his band of Low IQ’ers get the harder I’ll work to re-elect Donald Trump.

The Deep State Swamp of democrat politicians and Country Club Republican D.C. Bureaucrats are still trying to fool We The People with the fake collusion, now obstruction guilty until proven innocent investigation of Trump.

I don’t blame Gaetz and Jordan for walking out. The DemonRats spewing Lies, then not paying one bit of attention as Republicans speak their case.

Cohen is upset because he missed his real career opportunity. Add lipstick to his already formed clown lips, put a polka dot jumpsuit on and voila! instant clown working kids birthday parties.

I am waiting for the part where Nadler shouts, “ TWO LEGS BAD! Four Legs Good!”

How can someone demand more of something you didn’t have to give them in the first place? Answer: They can’t.

did a democrat just state Russians helping Trump (actually Hillary Clinton) steal an election is the same as Pearl Harbor or 911?

Some people look for opportunities to drag good people down to their level.

I’m in my cubicle, but I suspect the guy from Florida is Matt Gaetz. I understand he will be at the rally in Panama City Beach this evening with the President. Gohmert, Jordan and Gaetz sound just like Freepers when they appear on Fox! I appreciate them all.

Thank goodness we still have Sensenbrenner!!!....God love him

Jim is my rep. What did he say? do? At one time HE was chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Did a fine job, too. Yes, he’s a lawyer.
