Democrats reveal their true intentions...

Democrats load "subpoena cannon" with 85+ Trump targets

House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible "leverage" by Russia, top Democrats tell us.

Based on our reporting and other public sources, Axios' Zach Basu has assembled a list of at least 85 potential Trump-related investigation and subpoena targets for the new majority.

To be clear, the Democrats pretty much refused to campaign on the idea of spending the next two years investigating, making legal moves, and likely spending much time in court... all over their large temper tantrum over President Trump beating Hillary Clinton. Had they made this their major focus in campaigns, they likely would have "not" taken over the House.

Moreover, such investigations into things like personal bank accounts and tax returns would be unprecedented and very likely unconstitutional. But much like the confusion surrounding Mueller and the power of subpoena, there has to be more than the "desire" to garner information or force someone to testify. Subpoenas are not just something provided to someone to go out on a witch hunt in search of crimes.

Under the general guidelines of DOJ and other law enforcement organizations, those who want to ask for information, are required to show reasonable cause to believe that there is a criminal act "before" going to court to get a search warrant or subpoena. You cannot simply have a suspicion or hope that there might be a crime. Moreover, under the conditions of legal subpoenas, your request or search must be limited to what it is that you believe will be relevant to the criminal action you are investigating.

Granted, Congress does not operate under the DOJ or any other law enforcement, but they would still be subject to the same sorts of constitutional constrains of the fourth amendment, and other constitutional and legal reasons why such limitations exist in our law enforcement. Most certainly the fourth Amendment protects people from unconstitutional investigations from any body with subpoena power.

Moreover, the subpoena power of Congress s designed to works within the powers of their oversight, which does not extend to personal business dealings of people within the Government, especially if those dealings took place "prior" to them being in politics.

I have no doubt that the House and their pouting band of children, still upset that they lose in 2016, will go to many lengths to garner information (like the President's tax returns), but the President will most certainly refuse these attempts and draw congress into more court battles. That being said, the upside is that all of these various court cases will likely end up in the USSC, where we will be given a new legal precedent one way or the other.
