Apparently as long as you are a Commie lib, you can do WHATEVER you want..Twitter yet again banned David Horowitz, and they just banned @CarpeDonktum because the whacky commie douche bag the Krassenstein brothers told them to..welcome to the Soviet Union
There are dozens of Democrats who can be arrested right this very minute on various national security crimes.
It’s time to get those prosecutions under way.
There’s probably not five Democrats in Congress who don’t have a felony or twelve they’ve managed to skate on.
Ban & Outlaw the Democrat Party . Remove all Federally elected Democrat politicians from their office , immediately . Stand up an Federally deputized civilian volunteer militia (CVM) to assist in enforce the ban.
The congress harasses the president, lies to the voters, ignores the security of our borders, recklessly spends money to buy votes, and passes laws without reading them.
Other than that its a great institution. /sarc
Why not?
They ignored the Constitution and let a Kenyan/British subject/Indonesian? be sworn in as President in direct violation of it.
‘The president is hands off congress.’
Perhaps not. As others have pointed out, AG Barr is now in the middle of an investigation which involves many, many, Democrats.
So if Nadler or others go after Barr a bit too much, we may be looking at OBSTRUCTION charges against them - since they’re now obviously trying to impede him, and this time there is not shortage of underlying crimes.
Things may get interesting.
So Congress can harass the president?
Can Congress harass the president?
We’re at war, be serious, sound proud.
Congress has one major weakness: it cannot enforce the law. It can make laws but if the executive branch doesn’t enforce them they are meaningless. Neither can the judicial branch enforce the law. If the president does “go rogue”, the only thing that can truly oust him is a rebellion within the executive branch.
The Constitution prohibits “Bills of Attainder”, which the British crown had used to harass specified citizens who had opposed crown policies.
Do President Trump’s lawyers know this?
They SHOULD!
Pretty sure that is what the 2nd Amendment is all about.

The problem is not that Congress can harass the President. The problem (really several) is that, under the rubric of oversight, Congress has arrogated to itself powers it does not constitutionally have. Congress is a legislative body only. It has no legitimate judicial or law enforcement role (other than impeachment). I question if it has any constitutional oversight role, but to the extent it might, that is only for the purpose of informing them on legislative matters. Congress in its modern form is nothing more than a means to enrich congress critters, give them a platform to increase their power, and pass taxpayer “favors” to their families, friends, fellow partisans and big donors.

I’ve wondered if Trump and/or his family can sue Congress for harassment. There’s no doubt blatant harassment is happening; anyone can see that. How much are they supposed to take?
You should be worried that Crazy Nancy is third in line for President
The only way that I can go along with the Democrat nonsense, is that by constantly investigating Trump they can’t pass other ridiculous legislation with as great a regularity.
