Barbara Comstock made a name for herself during the Clinton administration as one of Washington's most dogged investigators scrutinizing the White House, but the former Republican representative said congressional Democrats examining President Donald Trump are crossing lines she never considered.
Trump broke with tradition as a presidential candidate in 2016 when he refused to release his tax returns, and he's continued to refuse while in office. While not legally required, most presidents since Richard Nixon have voluntarily released their returns. "It is set up constitutionally," she said."You can go pretty far, but then the Justice Department and the executive branch, they can also push back."
Comstock said that while Democrats should pursue other avenues of investigation,"I think what they really want to do is just have public theater.
We the people are the government of the United States elected officials work for the government
The process will inform & confirm the people of Just how corrupt liarhead is The SenateGOP determined to support such corruption will suffer the consequences of their complicity & inaction VoteOutTheGOP
truth revealed and your GOP failures shown BIGTime
For the same reason the dems push legislation with no chance of passing. For messaging.
Thats because you need a crime for impeachment. Duhhh
The BS goes on tell them to go to work.
Bill Clinton needs your phone number.
Politics To expose exactly how corrupt and unfit this man is for the job !
It will keep in the news that our president is the swamp that he promised to drain. Republicans doing want to hear that. Graham doesn’t care but a great percent of the American public do care. In bridge there is a ”no trump bid”. Sounds like they have it right.
This is a power play by the Democratic Party. They don’t have anyone that can beat trump in 2020 . Their strategy is to discredit him any way possible. They will run these investigations as long a s they can , hoping something sticks
Lol if the Senate refuses just strengthens the corruption and obstruction of Republicans argument that the swamp is deep n thriving within any Republican controlled executive branch of govt. Makes taking the Senate n White House even easier.
Politics Constitution? Morality? Rule of Law? Trust in our Leaders? NATO’s belief in America’s Word? The Swamp is drained? Anyone else have an idea of why there is a point to an oversight function in our Checks & Balances? Eliminate Autocratic threats? How about exposing GOP complicity?
Bring it to a vote anyway and put those vulnerable Senators on record! The people will vote them out!
It doesn’t matter ImpeachTrump anyway! It’s a matter of principle; rule of law and respect for our Constitution! + it will be a permanent part of history!
The point being who will stand for the rule of law
So the GOP hasn't heard all the evidence? They haven't seen the un-redacted report from Mueller? They haven't had an opportunity to question the individuals? But...they already know they will vote no to impeachment. Voters....remember this at the polls. Vote Dem!
...and Barbara Comstock is as relevant as the Sony Walkman...
The point is the Democrats have no agenda. They have nothing else to do. They are lost in the woods. Very sad.
The point is, AOC is now the Boss who runs the DNC. Never mind the fact she does not realize the Dems don’t have the votes in The Senate and will lose any impeachment hearings. The good news, this will help Trump win in 2020. AOC is the best thing to EVER happen to the GOP!!!
IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO
All Democrats talk about is Trump. He’s leading them around by the nose
The point BarbaraComstock is the truth. And it will be out there just in time for 2020.
So it can go into the history books. It needs to be recorded, that not everyone sat back and let him make a mockery of our nation.
The point would be democrat 'muh Russia' and 'muh feels'. But, they'll just vote for whoever the DNC forces down their throats again like good sheep so it doesnt really matter.
To waste more tax payer money and time dragging this situation out is an extension of the muller Investigation all hype for a less than preferred outcome. If the outcome is not what the dems are hoping for it’s going to make it hard for 2020’s
Maybe not a conviction, but think of the TV ratings! Cheeto would have something to brag about. 🍿🍿🍿
If DT is brought up on impeachment charges with all of his emolument infringes & proof of laws he has broken & GOP Senate does not vote 4 impeachment it will show the whole country that they are for Party NOT the country They & he took an oath to uphold the laws of Constitution
Well soon see
She kinda sucked.
In other words, partisan politics takes priority over national interests. It's no wonder that the Republican party is near extinction.
They either love trump OR they're Scared of him smh 🤨
To expose Trump's crimes to the public. Simple. As an added benefit, it makes Republicans defend corrupt behavoir on the record. The campaign commercials write themself.
Because a corrupt judge and jury isn't corrupt until it acts out that corruption. A criminal is still a criminal and is charged as such.
“I think both sides have made pretty clear that this is all political,” former Va. GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock says on the latest episode of “The Investigation.” 🎧:
The American people voted for Donald Trump to be president That's Democracy For two years the media and the Democrats have been nothing but SORE LOSERS about Trump winning For two years they have tried to find a backdoor way to get Trump out of office
Putting the names of those senators on the record so when they run for president you can hold up this fact and link them to the worst most corrupt president in history for one.
Politics Another person who doesn’t understand the oath they took. Or who understands it, but just doesn’t care.
The Republicans sure are worried. Could it be that pesky election coming up?
If Trump did nothing wrong, what does he have to be afraid of?
