House mounts last-ditch bid for Trump's financial records
Politico ^ | Aug 31, 2020 | 3 hrs ago

If an appeals court does not grant Congress access to President Donald Trump's financial records quickly, lawmakers will "almost certainly" miss their chance to review them before the end of Trump's term, House Counsel Doug Letter argued Monday.

In a new filing with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Letter urged the judges to resist calls to send the case back to a lower court and instead resolve the matter — which began with a subpoena in April 2019 — promptly.

"If this Court does not resolve this case now, the Trump Plaintiffs will almost certainly have succeeded in blocking the 116th Congress from obtaining any documents pursuant to its subpoena," Letter wrote.

Maybe the cabal of “Roberts” Judges should make Judge Sullivan release Flynn before they go after Trumps tax records.

A smart person doesn’t use the “so” low IQ tell.

“End of his term”

They mean in time to taint the election coverage with yet another witchhunt.

Let’s look at China’s financial ties to the Democrats.

Hey GOP, do you idiots now finally see the type of people you’re up against? You couldn’t be bothered to investigate any of Obama’s records about anything, including his college admissions. You played nice guys while the marxist pr*ck set the table for all of the current suck. I ask you GOP, are you still going to play Mr and Ms nice guy with these traitors? If you are then you’re playing with fire.

Allow me to translate: “if we don’t get to go on our grand fishing expedition soon, we won’t be able to use anything at all to attack Trump with before November.”

That would be a bridge too far, because the GOP establishment is quite complicit in the funny money activities with China themselves. They don't call him China Mitch McConnell for nothing.

The GOP is happy he’s taking the heat.

They’re watching the riots, saying, “See how much smarter we were to be NICE.”

Republicans don’t fight (unless it’s against other Republicans).

I still recall (former RNC Chairman) Ed Gillespie’s race for Virginia Governor. He had been given Ralph Northam’s year book with the black face photo. He didn’t use it and Northam ended up winning the close election.

Republicans don’t fight.
