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.”

Sheldon Outhouse needs to hold forth on the failure of Merrick Garland to truthfully answer questions posed by committee members in the House and Senate.
Do that, Sen. Outhouse, and then get back to us with your complaints.
Because the Repukelicans are the bitches in the Uniparty?
Whitehouse should know about the money gushing from Big Oil. His father Alton Whitehouse was the president of Sohio and they lived among the poor next to the Vanderbilts in Newport. This did not prevent the liberal Senator Whitehouse and his missus from maintaining membership in all-white clubs.
Democrats are criminalizing political activity of their opponents, which I’d totalitarian/fascist.
Democrats in Wisconsin pioneered this here during the Scott Walker era.
No kidding. What a joke!
So how much od this is a lie?
Nice pool. Biden should go for a long swim.
Ok whitehouse now do joe bidens brother in Qatar I’ll wait
And Pedo Joe is not giving pro quo to the Muslims?
And to antifa?
And to BLM?
And to H-wood’s collection of low IW slime molds?
And to the squad?
Of course not. Sorry that I asked.
So Trump is going to allow more drilling to help the economy and ALL Americans and that’s “quid pro quo” for asking oil for a donation? Maybe he’ll do the same with coal and nuclear, too! Awful! Is he expecting oil to put the donation in his or his family’s bank accounts as Burisma did?
Biden’s niece Casey Owens - his sister’s child - aided and abetted Hunter’s influence peddling schemes which benefitted the Biden family’s wealth accumulation.
Casey Owens official US govt trip to China was with Obama’s US Treasury delegation, “The US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue team,” led by then-Treasury Secy Timothy Geithner.
During the visit, Owens was privy to sensitive US govt information WRT China’s multi billion dollar sovereign wealth fund. Owens passed on the info to the opportunistic influence peddler Hunter Biden as a possible investment contact who soon followed up.
Gutless Repukes. They'd rather have endless investigations, just like endless foreign proxy wars.
“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.”
quid pro quo - a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something.
When Hunter Biden peddled his father’s influence, Joe Biden engaged in quid pro quo.
But what Trump did was not quid pro quo. What Trump did was solicit financial support because of his existing and ongoing policies. He is going to enact pro-American policies that will benefit oil companies. Therefore, it only makes sense for these oil companies to help get him elected.
Trump’s policies and decisions are not conditional upon their financial support.
