The White House on Nov. 9 asserted that potential Democrat-led congressional investigations into the Trump administration or its officials may run afoul of the law.

“Compulsory process is a power Congress has for oversight functions, and only for oversight functions,” the letter states. “Abusive threats and public statements about the indiscriminate issuance of subpoenas, along with threats directed at prospective targets within the Administration make it abundantly clear that any forthcoming investigative processes will be deployed to harass and aggrandize, rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”
Scharf argued that congressional subpoenas that are “designed merely to abuse or instill fear in the recipient” may be criminal, adding that the issuance of “unlawful subpoenas with the intention of depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges may warrant further investigation.”
His letter cites social media posts made by Rep.-elect Richard Ojeda (D-N.C.), Rep.-elect Katy Padilla Stout (D-Texas), and others who indicated that they want to investigate the administration following last week’s midterm elections, which saw significant Democratic wins that allowed the party to recapture both houses of Congress.
On Nov. 7, Ojeda wrote in a post on X that he “can’t wait to watch [War Secretary Pete Hegseth] squirm in a hearing room,” which was cited in Scharf’s letter. Also, Garcia himself wrote in a post on X following the election, “Lawyer up.”
Garcia, who is the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, on the morning of Nov. 11 pushed back against Scharf’s letter in a statement that was issued through his office.

The DSA base wants trials and hangings. Well, maybe no trials, just hangings. The DSA will comply because the crazier it is, the more the DSA is all in for it.
I hope they can block some of this nonsense. They want to use lawfare to bankrupt every person who opposes them.
“I hope they can block some of this nonsense. ...”
It has to come from Trump if anything is blocked. Individual Republican politicians don’t give a rat’s behind unless it affects them personally.
“...Republican politicians don’t give a rat’s...”
Perfect description of the worthless GOPe/RINO pack, only a fool retard would be surprised on the elections last week. And the Senate crooks just put Thune back in and these sellouts just upped their payoffs and hush money.
The Great Collapse can’t be far off.
I love Garcia’s excuse to the effect that he’s a hysterical gay. Tough guy
Someone needs to go Pinochet on the Democrats.
I’m sure the rats are really scared now.
Ojeda seems to be a nutcase carpetbagger. West Virginians wouldn’t swallow his BS, so he moved to NC. What a loon.
Dems never issued any such warning to the GOP investigations because they knew nothing would come of them. Thers been hundreds of hearings and not one indictment.
Waste of breath. They are impeaching Trimp. Republicans are going to get steamrollered. Many prosecutions. They will go after private citizens too in large numbers. Remember they threw a lot of nobodies into prison to be abused from Jan 6th. They are attempting a color revolution so they can rule Soviet America. We are in the fight for our lives.
