It is not the proper function of the IRS, Treasury, or Justice to question or second guess the motivations of the Committee or its reasonable determinations regarding its need for the requested tax returns or return information,” Neal wrote.

“For good reason, it would be a gross abuse of power for the majority to use tax returns as a weapon to attack, harass, and intimidate their political opponents. Once this Pandora’s box is opened, the ensuing tit-for-tat will do lasting damage to our nation,” William S. Consovoy said in a letter to the Treasury’s general counsel.

Other Examples would be:

With Harry Reid Using the Nuclear option and then the left complaining about the Right using the Nuclear option


Harry Reid lying about Romney's tax returns and saying he was glad he did it,

Bill Clinton and what is the definition of the word "IS "IS" ?

President Clinton replied, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” Clinton explained that if “is” meant “never has been” that is one thing; but, if “is” meant “there is none currently” then the statement by Mr. Bennett was correct.

Hillary Clinton...

August 2015 Hillary Clinton was asked, "Did you wipe your email server?" and she evasively replied, "Like with a cloth or something?" A year later we found out that "cloth" was BleachBit, a software application that deletes information "so even God can't read it," as Congressman Trey Gowdy announced August 2016.

There is a difference between educated and intelligent.

Who was president and first lady.... FIRST? So is it safe to say Bill and Hillary along with Harry and company set (lowered) the bar?

Nope. Clinton was a womanizer and hardly the first, Obama acted appropriately and presidential, you just didnt like his policies, Trump has taken to an inprecedented level. I hated Budh's policies, but he never degraded his office.
