Meanwhile Democrats push for release of an investigation regarding the 2016 election and six year old tax returns of the President?
Apparently Democrats don't believe that they can win on policy?!? pic.twitter.com/CAZj4WhyNp

Congressional oversight is oversight by the United States Congress over the Executive Branch, including the numerous U.S. federal agencies. Congressional oversight includes the review, monitoring, and supervision of federal agencies, programs, activities, and policy implementation.[1] Congress exercises this power largely through its congressional committee system. Oversight also occurs in a wide variety of congressional activities and contexts. These include authorization, appropriations, investigative, and legislative hearings by standing committees; specialized investigations by select committees; and reviews and studies by congressional support agencies and staff.
Congress’s oversight authority derives from its “implied” powers in the Constitution, public laws, and House and Senate rules. It is an integral part of the American system of checks and balances.
You are opposed to the oversight of the President.
appropriations, and investigations into the actions of the President.
Oversight is not a game. It is a core constitutional function, a cornerstone of the structural checks and balances on which our federal government is built. Congress cannot carry out its constitutional duties without the power to investigate whether the laws it enacts are being faithfully executed and whether the money it appropriates is being properly spent.
I can’t believe that somebody who was caught writing hush money checks to adult film actresses is somebody they should be lifting up as the kind of person they want to be leading this nation.”
—Mayor Pete Buttigieg, on Meet the Press, lambasting Trump supporters for their “hypocrisy” on morality.
Whore mongerers can be president if they're Republicans.
You can't see two things can happen at the same time.
The bills passed by the house are usually being blocked by McConnell. The house voted unanimously to support the release of the Muller investigation, he blocked the vote, because it would have passed by a substantial majority.
Congressional oversight includes the review, monitoring, and supervision of federal agencies, programs, activities, and policy.
Your tweet is pretty pathetic.
Really? Two questions. What is he hiding? And on exactly what basis is the Trump Administration going to LAWFULLY not disclose the tax returns in response to a legitimate Congressional request? This is a direct affront to the rule of law. Serious. https://t.co/3H1OprIklR

After Nunes and Gowdy debacles you have the audacity to post that BULLSHIT......dayum funny even for you Lil Scotty.....still wondering where those new GW facts you mentioned are.....I'm starting to think you pulled that out of your old white ass......Am I correct that you will never admit it also?????? BWAAAAAAAAAA
Well Roger...
The law that they are attempting to use to garner the President's tax returns is supposed to be a law that allows Congress to oversee the IRS.
They are supposed to be able to subpoena tax returns (of an individual) if they believe that the IRS is culpable in hiding something.
But as I pointed out before, the law "also" states that returns themselves cannot be made available to anyone outside of the committee nor is the committee allowed to comment on the individual in question (unless that individual signs an agreement to allow it).
Generally they could provide some specific problems with how the IRS was doing their jobs, without divulging the personal information of whatever American citizen is involved.
So this "law" does not actually allow them to do what they are telling you it does. Nor is there any other laws on the books ANYWHERE that simply allows Congress to subpoena a person's personal IRS tax returns and make them public without that individuals consent.
The only way the courts (and let's assume the USSC) decides this in favor of Democrats is if their subpoena is in compliance and within the spirit of the law, and not for political purposes.
to be perfectly clear. That would include not allowing the returns to ever be made available to anyone outside of the committee or to the public, and whatever they might have found could not be used as any sort of political fodder.
Boy it really sucks that there are not laws on the books that allows a President to simply be politically and personally harassed by members of the opposition Party.
So this "law" does not actually allow them to do what they are telling you it does.
Your expert legal opinion is both ignored and laughed at....Lets be real.....He promise release of the returns for the past 3 years....They have been under audit for 3 years....that alone is reason enough for congress to get them as no audit should ever take that long......What's he hiding Lil Scotty?????? It can't be good!!!!
books that allows a President to simply be politically and personally harassed by members of the opposition Party.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!C Now that is amusing and idiotic....no surprise there!!!
.Lets be real.....He promise release of the returns for the past 3 years.
Gee... A politician breaking a promise?
Is that now something you believe gives legal reason for a Judge to order something? Talk about meager legal minds.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is leaving her position, President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Sunday, as the administration pursues an overhaul of the department responsible for immigration.
Her departure was first reported by CBS News, which said it was unclear whether Nielsen’s departure would be voluntary.
You really don't understand how the Constitution works.
Your moronic thought expressed here is staggering.
Boy it really sucks that there are not laws on the books that allows a President to simply be politically and personally harassed by members of the opposition Party.
Happy Benghazi hearing!
Happy Impeachment hearings!

I can dig up the Constitutional powers, but you don't care. You just want Trump can do whatever he wants, without regards to the Constitution..
The law allows Congress to subpoena a person's personal IRS tax returns and make them public without that individuals consent.
So let's just say that the IRS does turn over the tax reports. If the court decides whether consent is necessary, the lawyers for the house committee will seek his consent.
You will again be screaming harassed by members of the opposition Party.
It will again play well with his base and you of course. The courts may decide that the public interest, should overrule the consent requirement.
Dennis is getting deeper into the Trumpism syndrome .
Gee... A politician declaring a national emergency to keep a campaign promise is just fine!!!!???
Trump lashes out at Mueller probe as release of report approaches
President Donald Trump took to Twitter Saturday to attack the latest barrage of investigations and subpoena threats from his political opponents on Capitol Hill.
In his Saturday tweets, the president repeated claims that the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller was run by “13 Angry Trump hating Dems” who found no wrongdoing on his behalf after spending “$30 million” over the course of the investigation. He added that the 22-month long probe was a “total waste of time.”
His tweets come amid reports that some members of the special counsel’s team have been frustrated by the way U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr cast their findings in the summary he submitted to Congress late last month.
This week, the House Judiciary, Intelligence and Oversight committees have all ramped up probes into different aspects of Trump’s financial history, policy agenda and campaign, and Trump was hit Thursday with a formal request from Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) for his individual tax returns dating back to 2013.
The oversight escalation on Capitol Hill comes as Democrats continue to demand an unredacted copy of Mueller’s approximately 400-page report, which was provided to Attorney General Bill Barr more than two weeks ago. That request shows congressional Democrats “will never be satisfied,” Trump stated Saturday.
But as Barr’s self-imposed deadline to submit a copy of Mueller’s report to Capitol Hill fast approaches, Trump’s confidence in its “complete and total exoneration” of him has waned, according to one Republican close to the White House.
“He wouldn’t be bringing this up still if everything was hunky dory,” this person said, referring to the president’s tweets about Mueller and his team of federal investigators.
White House officials, Trump campaign aides and Republican lawmakers have all cited Barr’s four-page summary of the special counsel’s conclusions as an exoneration of Trump, who was cleared of conspiracy with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election and did not face obstruction of justice charges due to insufficient evidence, according to Barr.
“I have not read the Mueller Report yet… Only know the conclusions, and on the big one, No Collusion,” Trump wrote on Twitter, hours before he was set to address a crowd of supporters and deep-pocketed GOP donors at the annual Republican Jewish Coalition summit in Las Vegas.
In separate reports late Wednesday, both The New York Times and The Washington Post described a band of investigators who believed the results of their probe into the president and his associates were far more damaging than Trump’s attorney general made them out to be. The same individuals have reportedly become worried that public opinion is being formed around an incomplete description of what they found, according to the Times.
]
Trump slammed the Times’ reporting as “fake news” in a tweet on Friday, shortly before departing Washington for a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border to highlight a newly renovated section of the current barrier that exists.
“The New York Times had no legitimate sources, which would be totally illegal, concerning the Mueller Report. In fact, they probably had no sources at all!” he wrote on Twitter.
A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment about the president’s tweets on Saturday.
Where did Ch find that photo of Obama's Inaugural?
Scott, I don't remember you were expressing frustration about the a President being frustrated about the
politically and personally motivated harassment by members of the opposition party, when Barack Obama was President.
The negro President could do nothing right.
President Trump announced Sunday afternoon that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "will be leaving her position" after 16 months in the job.
She got in trouble with the President.
Nielsen skipped last week's meeting of interior ministers from the Group of Seven countries (G-7) in Paris to deal with the migration crisis, which she compared to the aftermath of a Category 5 hurricane.
She also had taken to social media in recent days, tweeting that Congress must give border and immigration officials the tools and resources needed to "fulfill our humanitarian and security mission."

934 people are talking about this.
Nielsen visited El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday, marking her first stop on a border tour aimed at assessing the surge of migrants and the department's response. "Our system and facilities were never structured to withstand the current influx of immigrants," she said.
She refused to call the immigrants criminals.
I had a thought.
The law states that the house committee must seek his consent to release his taxes.
They may try to get a decision on the Constitutionality on (consent). Since the house is authorized to conduct specialized investigations by select committees. At times the courts have held the public interest overrides some limitations.
I'm just speculating, but we will see.
Read the resignation letter Nielsen posted online:
Mr. President,
I hereby resign from the position of Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effective April 7th 2019. It has been my great honor to lead the men and women of the Department as its sixth Secretary. I could not be prouder of and more humbled by their service, dedication, and commitment to keep our country safe from all threats and hazards. I join all Americans in thanking them for their sacrifices and those of their families.
For more than two years of service beginning during the Presidential Transition, I have worked tirelessly to advance the goals and missions of the Department. I am immensely proud of our successes in transforming DHS to keep pace with our enemies and adversaries — whether it is in cyberspace or against emerging threats from new technologies.
Despite our progress in reforming homeland security for a new age, I have determined that it is the right time for me to step aside. I hope that the next Secretary will have the support of Congress and the courts in fixing the laws which have impeded our ability to fully secure America's borders and which have contributed to discord in our nation's discourse. Our country and the men and women of DHS deserve to have all the tools and resources they need to execute the mission entrusted to them.
I can say with confidence our homeland is safer today than when I joined the Administration. We have taken unprecedented action to protect Americans. We have implemented historic efforts to defend our borders, combat illegal immigration, obstruct the inflow of drugs, and uphold our laws and values. We have responded decisively to record-breaking natural disasters and helped Americans rebuild. We have prevented the disruption of U.S. elections and guarded against foreign interference in our democracy. We have replaced complacency with consequences in cyberspace, we are holding digital intruders accountable, and we are stepping up our protection of American networks. We have thwarted terrorist plotting against our homeland and launched new efforts to block terrorists and criminals from reaching our shores. And we have ramped up security measures to make it harder for our enemies and adversaries to attack us, whether it is with drones, chemical and biological weapons, or through other means.
Thank you again for the privilege to serve the American people and to lead the outstanding men and women of the Department of Homeland Security. Supporting these patriots has been the honor of a lifetime.
Sincerely,
Kirstjen M. Nielsen
Secretary of Homeland Security
Just posting this twice with some corrections.
Uniformittyville horror here,
What really gets me is that u all r fans of trump and probably some of u r fans of Q.
Seems like u turned a 180 since Bush Soars. Hell, most of you LOVED that crook. I tried to tell u what was up with the bushes but u all called me crazy. I was presenting reality and most if you were presenting a nicely marketed concept of who bush was. I didnt trust that guy, knew he was a crook. But u all kissed his criminal arse.
I follow trump. I voted for trump. I have followed Q almost since they/she/he began. I have known for well over seven years that this current revolution was going to happen.
I am now a registered democrat feeling yet another political party betrayal. Going independent next election. I am still pro-choice and anti-religious rite.
So i would just like an apology from those of you who supported Bush The Stupider. U might also apologize for supporting him amd voting for him
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: Information from highly classified Flynn intercepts circulated from McCabe --> to Comey --> to Clapper [--> to WaPo?], making Clapper a top suspect in illegal leak to WaPo. Mueller came across this chain of info during his probe, yet never bothered to prosecute the leak
and deep state criminal referrals....
@paulsperry_
If this were the Obama administration, WaPo's David Ignatius would have been subpoenaed and his emails searched for the government source who leaked him the classified 2017 Flynn intercepts (a la AG Eric Holder's harassment of "co-conspirator" James Rosen of Fox News)
The law allows Congress to subpoena a person's personal IRS tax returns and make them public without that individuals consent.
Wrong.
And to be clear... anyone who would support Congress having the authority to take someone's tax returns and make them public (just because they want to)... might as well support tossing away the entire constitution, and turning us into a banana republic.
Snow white O'Rourke calls Bibi a "Racist"
Roger your understanding of the US Constitution is fatally flawed.
I mistyped The law allows Congress to subpoena a person's personal IRS tax returns and make them public without that individuals consent.
But cannot make them public without his consent.
The law is a 1924 law a rarely if ever used.
The courts have make that decision upon Constitutional grounds, not partisan beliefs that clouded your judgment since Trump was elected.
Your President says that the free press is the enemy of the people, Jack ass
If he gets his way, he will be turning us into a banana republic.
Kput'z shut up because you don't have any sense at all.
As usual, you didn't really read what I said.
The law states that the house committee must seek his consent to release his taxes.
They may try to get a decision on the Constitutionality on (consent). Since the house is authorized to conduct specialized investigations by select committees. At times the courts have held the public interest overrides some limitations.
He does not have the Constitutional right to keep his taxes secret.
The LAW says he must consent.
You know far less about the Constitution than you think you have.
If he declines to consent. We will have to wait and see what happens next.
You of course will say it is harassment.
You are fairly predictable.
The courts may decide that the public interest, should overrule the consent requirement.
only if they decide to ignore that law in its entirety. this is the point that you're missing by a mile.
the court doesn't get to decide what's in the public interest - read: political weapon with which to attack trump.
the court gets to determine one thing and one thing only - are trump's tax returns being sought in accordance and compliance with the statute in question.
now then, a fucking numbskull like the wise latina who is probably suffering through her OWN case of TDS may see it your way, alky. but fortunately for those of us who still believe in our constitution, she's in the minority activist wing of the USSC.
you fucking clowns think you can just "bull in a china shop" your way to taking down this president by any means necessary, and with total disregard for the law, because 'orange man bad.'
it doesn't work that way. and trump, in spite of your visceral hatred and blinding rage towards the man, is entitled to the same protections that any american is entitled to when it comes to our privacy, our tax returns, and the IRS.
if i didn't know better i'd swear you were taking a page out of the skeets 0linsky playbook and were trying to weaponize the IRS against trump.
He does not have the Constitutional right to keep his taxes secret.
you're asking the wrong question.
it's not "does he have the constitutional right to keep his taxes secret?"
it's "do his detractors have a constitutional right to see his taxes and use them as a weapon against him.
as to your first question built upon a false premise, he does have a right to keep his taxes secret. he's what gives him that right:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
You of course will say it is harassment.
well, since you assholes have no other reason to seek his taxes other than your coup attempt failed, what else would you call it, alky?
what i have not seen during this entire trump tax issue is a legitimate and lawful reason to seek them. it's quite obvious trump is in compliance with IRS law. were he not, we'd know about it. his returns have passed muster with auditors, the math obviously adds up, and he has either paid what he owed, received a refund, or it's washed.
so tell us...
why, exactly and precisely, is fat nadler and his merry band of asshats looking for trump's tax returns???
what possible legitimate need could exist for congress to need to examine them?
in other words, if it's not straight up harassment, what could it possibly be???
At times the courts have held the public interest overrides some limitations.
oh really?
so enlighten us. offer up the case law that details what you describe specific to this situation or one that closely resembles it.
congress has oversight over the executive branch. congress has no oversight over what a private citizen has done before becoming a member of the executive branch. especially since the government agency in question - the IRS - has concluded that the person in question was in compliance as a private citizen. i'm quite certain that if trump was not in compliance and did owe penalties and interest, you can be damn sure we would've heard about it by now.
lois lerner wasn't the only partisan hack who's worked there.
When the racist rodent bastard sobers up the debate goes away.
why, exactly and precisely, is fat nadler and his merry band of asshats looking for trump's tax returns???
Yawn good luck asshole
you can't answer the question, can you alky?
didn't think so.
Never does answer question. I realized a long time ago he is all b.s. not cattle.
More and More Dems are beginning to call the border issue a "crisis".
"

Not about to wait for his answer.
