Why hide it? No, never mind. I get from your replies to this that you would be screaming at the top of your lungs if the Republicans were doing this but you're okay with the Democrats doing this.
You really don't have to wonder. Yes the Democrats were saying just about the same thing Republicans are saying now, back in 2015, when the Republican did the same to Democrats, when Republicans were endlessly investigating Obama. In fact, the Democrats are now taking advantage of the changes the Republicans made to the House rules giving certain Committee chairs outright subpoena power. The committees didn't have that power in the two modern impeachment proceedings, which is why they had to call and appoint a special impeachment inquiry.
Republicans are now arguing that soliciting foreign governments to investigate your political opponents and their children is perfectly acceptable.
If that's the new standard, Ivanka and Don Jr. should be very concerned.
They have also taken the position that a legislative impasse can be solved by a president deciding that the situation represents a nation emergency and can implement his policy without the approval of the Congress.
Yup. Any policy, any time, regardless of what Congress decides on the matter. Even if Congress expressly forbids the use of funds for a project the president wants, the President can do it anyway....per Republicans.
And Republicans can't say shit, ever.
Its like Republicans whining about 'endless investigations' at this point. They've set the tune. Now they'll dance to it.
And dance. And dance. And dance some more.
