Cummings puts Trump on notice for wave of investigations

[floridafan]

Democrats still have two weeks until they take control of the House, but a top Democratic investigator is already putting President Donald Trump on notice.

Incoming House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings on Wednesday sent more than 50 letters to multiple agencies and departments as well as the Trump Organization and Trump’s personal attorneys requesting documents on a series of scandals that have plagued the White House.


The Maryland Democrat is asking for more information on the administration’s handling of hurricanes Irma and Maria, Trump’s controversial family separation policy at the border, the White House decision to revoke the security clearances of high ranking former officials who became Trump critics, and more.

While the documents are not subpoenas, Cummings’ letters lay the groundwork for a much more aggressive oversight of the executive branch in the next two years. Democrats have long complained that House Republicans have turned a blind eye to allegations of misconduct, misuse of official funds and other alleged conflicts of interest. Cummings, a veteran of oversight battles, is planning to hold the administration’s feet to the fire.

“These are documents that even the Republicans on the Oversight Committee — at least at some point in time — believed we needed to conduct effective oversight, but when the Trump Administration refused to comply fully, the Republicans would not issue a single subpoena,” Cummings said in a statement. “Many of these requests were bipartisan, and some are now more than a year old. As Democrats prepare to take the reins in Congress, we are insisting — as a basic first step — that the Trump Administration and others comply with these Republican requests.”

Cummings is a brain dead partisan moron on steroids; he is the perfect face for the Democratic Party of the Jackass. His efforts will amount to NOTHING much like the massively expensive multi-million dollar Mueller investigation.

He can't compel Trump to do ANYTHING. But because he is an uneducated moron; he doesn't know how the Constitution reads or what the law says.

That's pretty funny, we just went thru six years of redundant, useless "partisan" House "investigations" on anything they could "investigate" hoping to deflect, and now that the Democrats have control of the House, such efforts are "partisan on steroids." Just another example of what goes around comes around, switch out Goudy, Jordan, Nunes and Meadows and put in Cummings, Schiff and Nadler

And with the precedents the Republican House Committees set with their subpoena power, the House Democrats can dive into Trump's finances including his tax returns. Internal Revenue Service law allows House and Senate tax-writing committees to request federal returns, and this includes the President. Surely the fight commence, which just by the refusal and escalation of legalities will look bad on Trump

[Heff]

At least Cummings is going after things related to politics, unlike the media and their obsequious followers, who sift through people's private lives for sometimes 30-year-old transgressions.

He cant decline, you see oversight is a congressional responsibility. The job of a president is to cooperate.
