That's laughable! What Trump Administration Department is being run through secret servers hidden in the Secretary of that Department's home like Hillary Clinton ran the State Department during the Obama Administration?Absolutely backwards.I've never seen Congress use their subpoena power against a Presidential Administration like the Nancy Pelosi House has done!They wouldn’t be sending subpoenas if the Trump administration abided by the traditions of voluntarily complying with congressional oversight to the degree that every administration has before.Obama.Remind me again who it was that Lois Lerner worked for, Colfax? Who Eric Holder worked for?They don’t have to take the 5th if they just ignore the subpoenas like half the Trump administration.Anyone want to take bets on how many of those that have been hit with subpoenas do a Lois Lerner and take the 5th?
What about it? You going to sit there and ignore the mountain of subpoenas ignored by the Trump administration?
You're referring to the "mountain of subpoenas" that the Democratically controlled House have been hitting the Trump Administration with since Trump took office? How CAN you ignore such a blatant example of abuse of power? We have separation of powers built into our system of government just so what Nancy Pelosi and her minions attempted to do doesn't take place! Congress has no right to simply subpoena virtually everyone who works in the Executive Branch looking for a crime! THAT is why that mountain of subpoenas was rightly ignored by the Trump Administration! If you have demonstrated that a crime has taken place...then and only then do you have the right to start subpoenaing documents and personnel from another branch of government! That tenet of law goes all the way back to Richard Nixon and the Watergate tapes!
Fighting Congressional requests used to be the exception, now it’s standard operating procedure. Trump does not respect oversight, and this is extremely damaging to our nation.
You're claiming the Obama Administration "complied" with requests from the Legislative Branch? Really, Colfax? That's laughable! Barry and his crew were the most secretive administration we've ever had. They literally ran entire departments of the Government through secret email accounts using aliases to hide what they were doing from Congressional oversight!
Congress is sending subpoenas for routine document requests that never needed subpoenas before. And those subpoenas are thrown in the trash. Congressional oversight is barely a concept with this administration. This is the most secretive administration we’ve ever had.
The Obama Administration set records for fighting Freedom of Information Act requests...they were BY FAR the most secretive administration the US has ever had...even after declaring that they would be the most transparent!
There are still secret hidden servers being used to undermine this admin by the previous one.
They simply moved the bulk of them to Ukraine.
