[Crepitus]

LmAo!! They tried to put whack-jobs pin he commission to sabotage it.

 

[Crepitus]

[Smokin' OP]

Well dumbass Congress has no right to subpoena the executive branch. Partisan little shit weasels like you don’t understand the separation of powers and Constitutional rights.

Partisan shit heads like you?

July 8, 2015

The House Select Committee on Benghazi today released its March 4, 2015, subpoena to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in response to her inaccurate claim she had not been subpoenaed. The committee subpoenaed Clinton directly after it became aware of her exclusive use of personal email and a server and that the State Department was not the custodian of Clinton’s official record.

The Secretary of State serves as the President’s top foreign policy adviser, and oversees 30,000 employees and a budget of approximately $35 billion.

The Department of State plays the lead role in developing and implementing the President’s foreign policy. Major responsibilities include United States representation abroad, foreign assistance, foreign military training programs, countering international crime, and a wide assortment of services to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals seeking entrance to the United States.

So, Hillary can be forced to testify but Trump aides are covered by Executive Privlege?

Good point

Pelosi's intent is to stage a Kangaroo Court where judgment is predetermined.

Such an event SHOULD be sabotaged.

It's a weird situation. Trump & Co clearly think they have a lot to hide, and they know how to play the legal system. So I'm sure their goal is to drag this out beyond the 2022 elections, after which the cult will likely be able to snuff this whole thing immediately.

There's not much Congress can do to compel this group, outside of fines and (perhaps) short jail time. Since this group is engaged in a jihad to Save America from the Evil Chinese Soros Deep State Hitler Swamp Commies™ (I'm not kidding), that may not be enough of a threat.

So the only thing that could happen is that the DOJ takes this over and has something it can do. Maybe 50/50 chance of that. There really is no way to know what (if anything) happened, but Trump & Co sure are making it look like they really were at least considering a coup.

Why would the DOJ get involved when the FBI has already said this wasn't an insurrection?

 

[Smokin' OP]

He's not the executive anymore. No executive privilege.

That was the purpose of my comment.
Trump is grasping at straws, like he has always, in business and politics.

Sure, just like Trump's two impeachment trials.
The orange, traitor isn't going to be that lucky..........................This time.

An example is a lot better than trying to explain any legalize to a Trumptard.

Donald J. Trump was exonerated twice in both of his fake impeachments.

During the first Fake Trial, no crime was even alleged. "Obstruction of Congress" isn't a crime at all, much less a high crime.

The 2nd Fake Trial was conducted after the Trumpster had already left office. Interesting precedents were sent. I wonder how loud the libs will whine when the GOP decides to impeach B. Hussein O for "fucking up the country" during his reign of error? After all, "Fucking up" isn't a crime (but it didn't stop the D's) and the fact that Trump wasn't in office didn't stop the D's either.

I'm not talking about that.

You probably haven't heard about this other stuff in your universe.

 

[McFury]

There was no insurrection. No one has been charged with anything even close to what could be labeled an act of insurrection.

Too fcking funny.

.

You are so wrong.
There was insurrection and Trump ordered his hooligans to attack the Capitol.
It's a terrorist crime worse than 911.
Against the GVT of USA.
He should be charged.

That figures, Trumptards know even less about law than their retarded dear leader.

18 U.S. Code § 1505 - Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees​

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—

Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

' impeach B. Hussein O for "fucking up the country"?

Brought the country back from another disaster from another republican.

Republicans wanted to impeach Obama but putting Grey Poupon or wearing a tan suit isn't a crime.

Yes, we know that's the RNC approved talking point.. doesn't make it true.

What would you say the reason for the Show Trial is then?

There are processes occurring in the judicial system, why is any action needed by the Democrats in Congress?

He was not exonerated. His mates packed the jury and got him off on a political expediency. He was as guilty as fuck.

 

[Polishprince]

"Show trial"?

That's what its called, technically speaking.

The result of the trial - Trump is bad- has already been predetermined.

The purpose of the trial is to try and rig the 2024 election by eliminating Biden's only opposition and suppressing dissent against Bidenism.

 

[Turtlesoup]

Trump is above the law
His aids know that

The way it works if you work for Trump is you take the fall for him and he gets off Scott Free

Trump hasn't broken any laws fool.

 

[rightwinger]

Trump hasn't broken any laws fool.

He hasn’t?
That is good to hear

Then I imagine he wouldn’t object to testimony about Jan 6
