Democrats load "subpoena cannon" with 85+ Trump targets
Axios ^ | 12 Nov 2018 | Mike Allen

Posted on 11/12/2018 6:25:07 AM PST by mandaladon

House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible "leverage" by Russia, top Democrats tell us.

What they're saying: One senior Democratic source said the new majority, which takes power in January, is preparing a "subpoena cannon," like an arena T-shirt cannon.

Show less Based on our reporting and other public sources, Axios' Zach Basu has assembled a list of at least 85 potential Trump-related investigation and subpoena targets for the new majority. (See the list.) Incoming House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told “Axios on HBO” that he expects Trump to resist the committees' requests, demands and subpoenas — likely pushing fights over documents and testimony as far as the Supreme Court.

Why it matters: The fight will test the power of the presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court. Top Democrats, who had largely avoided the subject during the campaign, now tell us they plan to almost immediately begin exploring possible grounds for impeachment. A public report by Robert Mueller would ignite the kindling.

Tom Steyer, the liberal activist who spent more than $100 million during the campaign to build support for impeachment, said establishment leaders who are trying to postpone talk of impeachment are "the outliers": "80 percent of registered Democrats think ... we're right." Two of the most powerful incoming chairs tell "Axios on HBO" that they are plotting action far beyond Russian interference in the 2016 elections.

1) Schiff, the top Democrat on the intelligence committee, told us he wants to help special counsel Robert Mueller, and plans to release — with some redactions of classified material — transcripts of dozens of interviews the committee conducted during its own Russia probe.

Democrats in Congress spending their time working hard to bring down Pres. Trumps means less time spent on doing the nation’s business. This needs to be forcefully brought down on their heads.

The Rats are prepared to take down not only the President, but also the USA in their insatiable lust for power. This will not stop unless there is a high body count and a violent purging of America's domestic enemies. If that doesn't happen, then the US as we know it will become just a memory in the history books, if the Leftist overlords would allow such a book to be published.

“I can’t believe as much good as Pres. Trump has done for this Republic that Democrats and Independents would put them back in power.”

The MSM has spent the last 2.5 years convincing low information voters that Trump is the Antichrist and Russians are inside the wire.

Politics is over. They are at war.

Subpoena cannons in combination with mobs and physical assaults.

I’m sure that Whitaker and his permanent replacement will be just as prolific at supporting these subpoenas as Attorneys General Sessions, Lynch, and Holder were.

Trump has dirt on the Dems and he has ways to find more dirt on them.

The CA Dems are very close to the Chicoms. I’m sure he can find something here.

Whitaker gets final say on what comes out, at least officially.

Do these absolute reprobates understand that when you piss off half the people in the room that it makes it very difficult to exit safely?

Good luck with that. Voter fraud, illegals voting, court fights, 3rd grade teachers denouncing him as a bully, etc. will see to that. Dems will run on “Ain’t happening again.”

Meanwhile, the Dems will investigate seven generations of the Trump family and IF anything is found, they will pin it all on him. Civil War now seems more likely than a functioning government. With a Fake Congress, created by blatant fraud, we lost the ballot box. Google and Facebook censorship has taken away the soapbox, the judiciary is not to be trusted. That leaves only one box.

They are simply responding to the wishes of their constituents. Not going after Trump would be seen by their voters as dereliction of duty...

“...I am convinced that armed, violent rebellion (CW 2) is on its way. It’s only a matter of time.....”
Yep, as bad as I hate to admit it, you’re probably right.
The RATs have destroyed the Peoples’ confidence of the Electoral process with them stealing elections across the country. There is only one recourse left at this point...it’s gonna be ugly.
