Democrats launch investigation into Trump's Walter Reed 'joyride'

House Democrats are launching an investigation into President Trump’s treatment of the Secret Service during his bout with the coronavirus.

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, accused Trump of disregarding the safety of his protective detail when he left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a short drive in his limousine to greet supporters who were outside the facility.

Thompson called Trump’s Sunday night trip a “joyride” that risked the health and safety of the agents who had to accompany him on the trip.

“So we can know more about how these events have affected the Secret Service and national security, I have requested a briefing from the agency on the current safeguards in place for their employees — including on the President’s protective detail — and how Secret Service agents can be kept safe from coronavirus-related threats, including apparently the President himself,” Thompson said in a statement.

Trump tweeted that the trip was deemed safe by medical staff at the hospital. An attending physician also accompanied Trump on the drive and wore a mask and other protective equipment.

Trump also wore a mask.

Trump announced on Twitter Monday afternoon that he will be discharged from the hospital and will return to the White House at 6:30 p.m.

Endangering the lives of his security detail? from a sealed vehicle? Oh Plz.

Impeachable offense no doubt .. in the eyes and minds of the lunatic Dems, every breath he takes is an impeachable offense. Sad but true.

Uh huh. Can impeachment be far behind? “Yeah! Then...then he can’t nominate a Supreme Court justice! Then we’ll delay the election!! Then Nanzi Pelosi will be president!!! Then we’ll pack the Supreme Court, give the vote to illegals, nationalize the means of production!!!” Sure you will.

Democrats: Commit murder, sexual abuse, treason, bribery, attempted coup, on..etc etc etc: apologize and move on nothing to see.

Pres. Trump: Blow your nose or anything else you do...impeachment

Republicans: Minor infractions...resign

“investigation” is meant to sound ominous. Will this be the grounds for Impeachment Part II?

On second thought, just go home and do nothing, democrats.

Too bad Democrat’s aren’t half as concerned about the groups burning down our cities and who is organizing and funding them.

Some one should send in a FOIA request for all the costs on this investigation.

Do they realize the doctor and the secret service accompanied him on marine one to the hospital?

Did they think that Trump will come back by himself to the White House without his doctor or the secret service in Marine One or by car?
