Compare and contrast how Garland and Democrats act versus Trump's/Republican AGs.

Republican AGs tip toe on egg shells. Democrats always swing a sickle.

And yet, Republicans will never learn the lesson of how to wield the power you are given, or how to take the power you aren't.

I could be wrong, but I believe that Congress can request tax documents as a part of drafting legislation as opposed, say to publicly embarrass, shame, or destroy a political adversary. Except for impeachment, Congress is not the place to prosecute alleged crimes. See the prohibition on bills of attainder.

What do you thing Congress’s real motive is in this case?

I wasn’t being clear. It said the house gave a good enough reason and that’s what I was reacting to.

its a good thing the DOJ isn’t the arbiter of justice. They are just the ones that come up with charges, real and fake, to put before the court.
