Republicans listed some of investigations Democrats may launch if they flip the House, trouble ahead
- Thread starter Tovarisc
- Start date
Does three members of Mar-a-Lago who are secretly running the VA despite not being in the government not even make the list?
3 of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort members (including Marvel CEO) secretly run Dept. of Veterans Affairs
GOP doing the work for us. This list is probably the most productive activity they've undertaken since the year 2000.
I don't know, but I'm getting the effect that it's worse than mere spinelessness.
I basically think if dems take power, it will be nothing but investigations (and bills that will get vetoed). Which is fine by me. Didn't the same happen under Bush when dems took control? I can't see that not happening with Trump.
They missed one: the botched Niger raid. That needs to be investigated ASAP and with 10 times the resources of bullshit Benghazi investigation.
If you got a list of fuckups that you're actively burying while in office, hoping the other side doesn't get power in order to investigate your fuckups, you probably have no place in any elected office.
Here's another one: Kisliyak and Lavrov been invited inside the Oval Office.
Basically Democrats want to investigate the suspicious things that SHOULD be investigated. It's just like Trump, "Can't we all just conspire, scheme and fuck over the nation in privacy?! These people that want to expose us, THEY are the REAL monsters!"
Isn't that in Pentagons wheelhouse? How often Congress actually goes after them for botched ops?
There isn't nearly enough time or resources to investigate all of the complete and utter bullshit they have been pulling for the past year and a half.
Dems seriously need to have a solid strategy and investigation schedule. All of the things on that list need to be investigated and so much more. Where do we even start?
A lot of these may be able to be rolled up into Mueller's investigation and might not be worth the time and effort to re-investigate. That might clear up some space and resources.

Like these:
- James Comey's firing
- Trump's firing of U.S. attorney
- Jared Kushner's ethics law compliance
- Trump's dealings with Russia, including the president's preparation for his meeting with Vladimir Putin
- The payment to Stephanie Clifford — a.k.a. Stormy Daniels
"Look at me! I'm not paying attention to trends and being a defeatist little shithead! I don't plan to vote so I can keep complaining! Woe is me!"
The reason why this list exists is because House Democrats have already been demanding these investigations over the past two years. You can make the argument that they only did it because they don't have the power to make it happen, but I don't think your initial post is taking the full context into account.
Operations like these need Presidential approval, just like the botched Yemen raid (another feather in Trump's hat). There was less than credible chance of yielding success but both the raids were a go anyway.
How about who in the administration (my guess is Kushner) gave Saudi Arabia the green light to annex Qatar, before Tillerson stepped in?
Saudi Arabia Planned to Invade Qatar Last Summer. Rex Tillerson's Efforts to Stop It May Have Cost Him His Job.
I'd be shocked if Dem staffers aren't already getting the jump on some of these items. by collecting all the information they can. To lay some foundational groundwork.
The problem with checks and balances is that the founding fathers assumed that across hundreds of years it wouldn't get fucked up by at least one of the viable political parties casting away all concept of shame.
A lot of them are probably implicated by these stories. Not included in this list is the one where the NRA was receiving funding from Russian-linked donors.
Here he is treating the whole thing like a game. It's amazing how terrible he is
It's what happened under Bush.

There's really no reason it wouldn't happen under an even more corrupt president.
What if you're a party that benefits from democracy not functioning?
That's just one example they have execs from every type of business directly directing policy for instance 2 steel companies directly have control over who gets wavers in tarrifs that benefited those 2 companies only. It's the same across all agencies and department s. Corruption like we have never witnessed.
Jesus at the bedwetting.
There will be tons of investigations. House committees have subpoena power.
