Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that former President Donald Trump made an “obvious quid pro quo” when he allegedly asked for a $1 billion donation from oil executives during a meeting at his Mar-a-Lago resort last month.
Whitehouse said, “The problem we have is a little bit like the House. If we issue subpoenas, as the Judiciary Committee did to pursue the payments made to Justice Thomas, the Republicans said they would not enforce the subpoenas and they said they don’t comply and we won’t let them enforce it. I would expect something like that to happen. So a lot of this work is being prepared for is the day when perhaps the House comes back into Democratic hands and subpoenas can be enforced without winning a filibuster. A lot of preparatory work can go into that. It’s not like we are losing a lot of time, but the real game day begins after the November election when we find out whether we can enforce subpoenas against this industry or if the Department of Justice decides to have a look into this because they don’t need a vote of the Senate to investigate.”

The democrats money launder all the Green Scam money
so obvious the dems are going to impeach Trump a few MORE times if they get the house!
I don’t understand WHY we haven’t impeach Biden yet to show how stupid the whole process is!
No kidding. I think the State of Rhode Island lowers the average IQ of the United States by at least 5 points. If you’ve ever been there, you know what I’m talking about.
Doesn't he have some slaves to flog at his exclusive White club?
Trump just wants them to contrite to the Trump Foundation Fund. It’s all good because the Clintons said so
Democrats are such projecting LIARS!
“In fact, it’s so obvious that we don’t even need to offer any proof!”
“and just like that, the son of a bit— got fired”
Biden does this 365 days a year.
And he “encourages” the companies to hire Biden’s and Friends of Biden.
The Putin Pipeline was unsuspended and approved by Biden after the Russian lobbying firm hired a former Biden Chief of Staff with like $1.5 Million dollars.
Everyone knows part of that money made it to a Biden or Biden grandchild’s LLC or Trust.
Unlike Biden it wasn’t to Russian oil executives...
Trump should fly the Rainbow flag upside down. That’s site to hit hard.
Says quid pro quo Joe.
The Dems ask nothing from the Unions. Never..Never...
There is no more clear case of quid-pro-quo than those made between democrats and the teachers’ unions, and those made between democrats and workers’ unions all over the country, and between democrats and the DAs in blue cities/states, and between black voters and democrats.
In fact, quid-pro-quo is what politics is all about...
so,
punishing any kind of political quid-pro-quo of politicians, is the same as criminalizing politics.
Quid-pro-quo is also what businesses engage in every day, if they are to continue in business.
Employees and businesses also engage in quid-pro-quo, if both are going to get any kind of benefit from their mutual needs.
Will Whitehouse also criticize Joe Biden for his obvious quid pro quo of paying off student loans with billions of TAX DOLLARS to buy the votes of college graduates? Of course he won’t.
Always the same with these losers.
“Everybody does it.”
“Nuts and sluts.”
Correct. ALL political donations imply some sort of quid pro quo, many of them involving financial considerations great or small.
Whatever the deleted post said: “Ditto”!
