The Democrats are criminalizing politics

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Former White House adviser Peter Navarro accused the House COVID-19 probe of trying to intimidate him as he announced on Tuesday evening he would not comply with a subpoena to appear for a deposition
In a scathing letter to the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, he attacked President Biden and accused the investigation of using him as a pawn in their 'witch hunt.'
And he said he was a man of 'modest means' who would not let Democrats in Congress drain him of cash.

Opinion:
The Dirty Democrats are criminalizing politics.
Their constant subpoenas of former Trump officials is a form of political harassment, and a smear campaign.
They are the lowest form of politicians.
Hopefully the voters have had enough of the Democrat dirty political games and they get kicked to the curb in 2022.

Can we get three "Whoot-Whoot"s for Peter Navarro? Thank God we've got someone brave enough, despite his lack of apparent millionaire status, willing to stand up to Socialist Congress. Even when they sent goons to his home and banged on his door with un-constitutional threats, he is standing his ground.

"I am in receipt of your threatening letter of December 11, 2021. It comes on the heels of an unnecessary early morning visit by one of your gendarmes to deliver a subpoena which I already acknowledged the receipt of to your assistant..."

Hey Bozos, you lost the election. And your two bit idiots coup failed. Now the treasonous fat senile old orange clown and many of the Trumpanzees are facing jail time. Well, justice matters. And, as when Biden was declared the winner of the election, there will be dancing in the streets when the jailhouse door slams shut behind Trump.

The Constitution says nothing about congressional investigations and oversight, but the authority to conduct investigations is implied since Congress possesses “all legislative powers.” The Supreme Court determined that the framers intended for Congress to seek out information when crafting or reviewing legislation.

Super. Q. What piece of legislation are they reviewing or crafting? A. None. They are mis-using their subpoena power as a political tool to harass their opponents.

If there is a question about if Navarro or even his boss Trump committed any crimes, then that investigation does not fall to congress, it belongs to the FBI or other executive department. If evidence of wrongdoing is found, then charges should be filed with the appropriate tribunal (circuit court).

Old Rocks what are you talking about? This has to do with a House Covid-19 probe. Or maybe the Democrats in that committee figure they can ignore the task at hand and investigate whatever they feel suits their political agenda?

Congrats, on acing that constitutional 'law' school correspondence course from Trump U.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18:

[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

The Court has long since accorded its agreement with Congress that the investigatory power is so essential to the legislative function as to be implied from the general vesting of legislative power in Congress.

in a 1957 opinion generally hostile to the exercise of the investigatory power in the post-War years, Chief Justice Warren did not question the basic power. The power of the Congress to conduct investigations is inherent in the legislative process.
That power is broad. It encompasses inquiries concerning the administration of existing laws as well as proposed or possibly needed statutes. It includes surveys of defects in our social, economic or political system for the purpose of enabling the Congress to remedy them. It comprehends probes into departments of the Federal Government to expose corruption, inefficiency or waste.

When either House exercises a judicial function, as in judging of elections or determining whether a member should be expelled, it is clearly entitled to compel the attendance of witnesses to disclose the facts upon which its action must be based.
Thus, the Court held that since a House had a right to expel a member for any offense which it deemed incompatible with his trust and duty as a member, it was entitled to investigate such conduct and to summon private individuals to give testimony concerning it.

Explicit judicial recognition of the right of either house of Congress to commit for contempt a witness who ignores its summons or refuses to answer its inquiries dates from McGrain v. Daugherty.

Trump doesn't give refunds.

If that was a real Insurrection, D.C. would have been in flames. Just like the Blue cities. We live in a world of double think. A world of people being set up by others. The people in jail are note even being treated well. Once we became a Democracy from a Republic we opened ourselves up to people coming into office with extremist political views. And they have taken over the governments at all levels in many parts of the nation.

This rant filled hate reminds me of the names the Democrats called black people.

Bigots and tyrants never go away. They may not wear their white Hoods but read the comment and decide for yourself if the KKK is gone or are they are simply the democrats party with a new target for their hate.

Interfering with an official congressional hearing or duty, is a felony.

Trying to stop or delay the duty of congress to put the elector vote on the record for president, does not have to be violent. It can be a soft coup, or a self-coup, without violence..

There is proof supposedly of interference and government people involved with this insurrection. My views on voting irregularities was way before this in the city I lived in decades ago. People are leaving Blue areas. Tha tis proof of problems and issues.

Smokin' OP There's that phrase again: "...inherent in the legislative process...". What legislation are they considering?

And no, they are not judging the outcome of an election, so they have no judicial role in this matter.

Congress is over-stepping it's constitutional boundaries. Plain and simple. Saying "they've done it in the past" is like saying "I got away with murder in the past, so it must be ok and perfectly legal to do it again now". If they have gotten away with it in the past, it doesn't mean they can get away with it in the future.

If SCOTUS backed Congress' ability to hold inquiries in the past, it was only because Congress was investigating a piece of legislation they were working on, or fulfilling its duties to hold trial during an impeachment as prescribed by the Constitution.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 says nothing about the situation at hand. For reference, I'm attaching a copy of Article I in its entirety. Unless a power is specifically granted to congress in that document, then that power DOES NOT BELONG TO CONGRESS. In this case, investigation and policing belong to the Executive branch, and interpretation and punishment belong to the Judicial branch.

If the Supreme Court backs the ability of Congress to have unlimited power to enact laws, police the laws, AND judge innocence or guilt, I'm afraid the balance of power is lost and the Constitution itself has become null and void.

So, the Watergate hearings were illegal according to you?

And the 9 different benghazi hearings too, eh?

 

[Samofvt]

Watergate was about recording conversations in the line of duty. At the time, some felt it was illegal to do so. Nixon resigned on his own terms. Congress was investigating that incident because there was legislation proposed to codify the conditions under which recordings can take place.

The Benghazi hearings fall within the war powers of congress: congress needs all the information it can get to determine if war (or police actions...another topic) is in the best interest of the nation.

What Legislative Activity does this fall under? Witch Hunt of Political Adversaries? What possible good will any of their questioning do to help Americans cope with the aftermath of the covid-19 health crisis? It's purely politically motivated.

If anyone should be investigated further, it should be Fauci. Trump should have fired him when he had the chance.

Another fine graduate of the Trump U. law school correspondence course?

IF the supreme court backs?..........................They already have moron, in 1952.

The House used its investigatory privileges in the First Congress (1789–1791). Robert Morris of Pennsylvania, the superintendent of finances during the Continental Congress and a financier of the American Revolution, asked Congress in 1790 to investigate his handling of the country’s finances in order to clear his name of potential impropriety.
The House referred Morris’s request to a select committee, setting a precedent for future investigations, while the Senate had President George Washington appoint special commissioners and report back to that body. Representative James Madison of Virginia said that the “House should possess itself of the fullest information in order to doing justice to the country and to public officers.”

The House has compelled the attendance of witnesses since 1795, when it investigated an attempt to bribe Members. Indeed, early cases of congressional subpoena and contempt powers focused on the abuse or discredit of the House itself. Robert Randall, a real estate speculator, had tried to purchase what is now Michigan from the federal government and share the proceeds with Members of Congress who approved the sale. As a result, Randall was the first individual held in contempt of Congress. The House Sergeant-at-Arms was authorized to arrest him and bring him before the House, where he was reprimanded and placed in a local jail for a week.

They didn't even know tapes existed when they began investigating, did they?

After watergate, all kinds of legislation was written to counter the uncodified lawlessness that took place. Same thing here.

The 1/6 capitol attack needs to be prevented from happening again!

The way to do that, is to investigate all that happened.

Everyone, from here to high heaven, INCLUDING the judiciary branch, KNOWS Congress is constitutionally and legally investigating the biggest attack on our Capitol in a couple of hundred years.

WHY would any full blooded American not want to know how this could happen, and how it can be prevented?

This investigation is as LEGIT as it comes!!!

Republicans and Trumpers are and have made it political by their lawlessness, of not testifying or by not showing up, when subpoenaed.

Why did the president of the united states wait 187 minutes, before he called off the attackers?
