Trump continues acting like just the creep depicted in the Mueller report...
If pay walls are bringing you down, the gist is hyphenated within the link.
On Monday, some legal experts were skeptical that the president’s tactic would succeed. They said courts generally have granted Congress fairly wide powers to investigate, even in cases where the investigation wasn’t connected to a pending bill.
“You can never say never because courts change and there are new judges, but this is way over the top,” said Kerry W. Kircher, who served as House counsel for the Republican majority from 2011 to 2016, referring to the suit. “I’m as confident as I can be that there’s no chance of success here on the merits.”
Kircher said that the courts would be “altering the whole arrangement of checks and balances” should they rule in favor of Trump.
A man who is honest and has nothing to hide doesn't do stuff like this. (I should get a macro key for that comment)
I agree, and I don’t.
I agree that there doesn’t seem to me to be any other reason in his case for doing this, but I can disagree by saying that there are perhaps some reasons out there for his wanting to keep his financial dealings secret that don’t necessarily point to impropriety.
But the thing is, those reasons don’t matter. No one made him run for President, it was his choice. Doing so
should have meant
real separation between himself and his business. For the first time in our history, our “President” hasn’t done this. If Trump and his cultists want to argue that despite a business history running from shady to outright criminal that everything he is doing now is above board, fine.
Prove it. If you say that he shouldn’t have to, you are saying that corruption doesn’t matter. Period. Which is a curious position for a guy who came to office on a pledge to “drain the swamp.”
