There are so few heroes in the impeachment of Donald Trump that they rise to the level of extraordinary. The first one was House Intelligence chair and lead for the president’s impeachment hearing Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA). His and the others’ heroism provide Americans a shining light to follow out of the evil-smelling darkness that has settled over Washington.
Schiff brought people’s attention to one of the people who honored his subpoena and testified against the president. Trump forbade anyone in his administration from coming to the Hill and most followed his directive, which included not providing any evidentiary documents. The representative tweeted that Vindman displayed a “rare form of bravery — moral courage:”
‘Lt. Col. Vindman did his job. As a soldier in Iraq, he received a Purple Heart. Then he displayed another rare form of bravery — moral courage. He complied with a subpoena and told the truth. He upheld his oath when others would not. Right matters to him. And to us.’
Within 48 hours of being free of his impeachment trial, Trump was back at his vindictive behavior “extracting his retribution.” What a difference between President Bill Clinton who apologized to the country for his impeachment and Trump. Number 45 in the lineup of presidents did this instead:
‘President Trump is exacting his retribution, removing those who complied with subpoenas, came forward, and testified about his misconduct. These are the actions of a man who believes he is above the law — Precisely the kind of conduct Congressional Republicans enabled.’
Then, Schiff noted that POTUS was ripping off Americans by going to his resorts 33 percent of his time in office. The representative charged up to $650 a night for the “dozens of public servants,” in the small army that must travel with him:
‘Every time President Trump visits one of his properties, dozens of public servants travel with him. Turns out he’s charging taxpayers up to $650 a night for each of their rooms. The President’s vacations are lining his own pockets – at the taxpayers’ expense.’
Twitter world went crazy over Intelligence Chair Schiff’s comments. Take a look at their responses below:

Someone should show that presidential retweet (and the many others) to the Senate Republicans who raised a self-righteous huff when Adam Schiff mentioned an alleged threat for GOP Senators to have their “heads on a pike” if they voted against the president.
Besides the above, Trump also spent Sunday morning basically talking to himself on Twitter, as one journalist put it. He was digging up some old recent posts of his own and commenting on them again.

bipartisanreport--2020-02-09--Lindsey Graham Publicly Embarrassed During  ‘CBS Sunday’ Disaster

Last week , Republicans including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham ( S.C. ) secured an acquittal for President Donald Trump over the charges brought in his impeachment case , which included abuse of power and obstruction of Congress .
This weekend on CBS ’ s Face The Nation , he was right back to stumping for the president with a melodramatic insistence that he ’ d be investigating the president ’ s opponents — an aim which sat at the center of the plot that drove Trump ’ s impeachment in the first place .
He kicked off his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a ridiculously petty tweet from the president of the United States , who mockingly called the program “ DeFace The Nation.
” Trump had insisted that Graham should “ start up Judiciary , ” and in an attempt at explaining Trump ’ s vague “ marching orders , ” Graham commented : ‘ I think what he ’ s talking about is oversight of the FISA warrant system that failed .
I can promise and the president and your viewers that I ’ m going to call witnesses about the Horowitz Report .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ — how did you miss it so badly ?
How could you issue four warrants against an American citizen based on information that was unreliable ?
’ Graham is referring to the surveillance warrants that authorities secured targeting one-time Trump adviser Carter Page , who had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence services .
A recent report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz criticized the basis that the Justice Department used for those warrants , and although that does not in the slightest detract from the evidence basis of the Russia investigation — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chance to investigate the president ’ s opponents .
Perhaps former FBI Director James Comey will be Republicans ’ new Hillary Clinton .
After the above , Graham melodramatically went on : ‘ So what I will do is I will get to the bottom of how the FISA warrant system failed and make sure we reform it so it doesn ’ t happen again .
I think questions about the conflict of interest regarding Hunter Biden in the Ukraine need to be asked .
The State Department had warnings and they ignored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ episode needs to be investigated.
’ If Graham is so concerned about conflicts of interest , then where is his outrage over the business deals that Trump family members are pursuing while Donald remains in office ?
Where is his outrage about the president literally making money off the presidency through his and his campaign ’ s repeated stays at Trump properties ?
The total absence of that outrage suggests that political expedience underlines Graham ’ s behavior rather than some kind of valiance .
His attempt to carry the torch of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s plot to bribe Ukraine into investigating that same topic .
For his part , Graham is up for re-election this year , but it ’ s unclear if he ’ ll be successfully toppled .
The Cook Political Report currently rates his race as a “ solid ” Republican hold — in stark contrast to the three GOP-held seats rated as “ toss-ups ” and the three additional seats rated as just “ leaning ” Republican , which is the last stop before toss-up status .

bipartisanreport--2020-02-09--Giuliani Suffers Major Mental Malfunction During ‘Fox Sunday’ Meltdown

The acquittal that Senate Republicans secured for President Donald Trump last week has evidently left his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani feeling emboldened to continue on with his corruption .
After a months-long impeachment process sparked in large part by the effort to bribe Ukraine into legitimizing conspiracy theories about the Bidens that he himself helped push along , Giuliani appeared on Fox News this weekend to belligerently and melodramatically spout some of those very same conspiracies .
He alleges that he has secured documentation that reveals criminal activity involving the Bidens , but the actual reality remains… murky at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet again — items like tangential connections and the personal testimonies of wildly discredited figures like former Ukrainian top prosecutor Viktor Shokin .
This time , he focused on evidence incriminating… not the Bidens , but someone who happened to work with Hunter Biden ( former VP Joe ’ s son ) at one point , Devon Archer .
‘ [ I have ] documents from the trial of Devon Archer — you know , his partner was convicted of securities fraud !
In that trial , they had to produce records that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that time , so it ties the money laundering all together .
If there were a document about you or me like this , I think we ’ d be in jail by now.
’ As one Twitter user noted , Giuliani himself recently “ had a number of incriminating documents released by HPSCI and is currently under federal investigation.
” That investigation covers his overseas-based “ consulting work , ” which may have violated laws against secret foreign dealing in the U.S .
In his ongoing efforts to find someone , anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s arrived at this level of ridiculous irony .
During his weekend rant , his other piece of supposedly compelling evidence was documentation showing a connection of a journalist to someone who had apparent information about corruption involving then-Trump campaign official Paul Manafort .
That ’ s how journalism works .
That ’ s not some conspiracy .
Ironically , just the other day , an internal memo from Fox News came out in which the author writes that Giuliani has a “ high susceptibility to misinformation.
” ( The same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writer John Solomon and lawyers Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing , who ’ ve together also appeared on Fox News numerous times . )
Apparently though , Fox News does not care to attempt to stem the spread of this disinformation as long as it keeps the president ’ s base tuned in !

Donald Trump is coming back as anticipated: cruel, vindictive, and in his best authoritarian dictator mode. As promised by the First Lady Melania Trump, POTUS hit back 10 times harder than he was hit. So what was Trump enacting with his rage?
The president started off using the Prayer Breakfast to go after those he considered top members of his hit list. He was so inappropriate that several people in the room literally gasped. Within 48 hours of the conclusion his impeachment “trial,” Trump fired Lt. Col. Alex Vindman and had him escorted from the White House.
His twin brother Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman was also kicked out of his NSC job, despite not testifying against Trump. In addition, Alexander Vindman’s lawyer indicated that Yevgeny Vindman was fired, too, according to The Business Insider:
‘Suddenly and with no explanation, despite two decades of loyal service to this country.’
Early Sunday morning, Trump tweeted a graph where he was even with all the Iowa candidates:
‘Great poll in Iowa, where I just landed for a Big Rally! #KAG2020′
Then, Trump patted himself on the back, noting that he was “leading also in New Hampshire:”
‘Leading also in New Hampshire and most states. The Fake News hates to report this, but you will see on November 3rd.’
Keep in mind that Trump has inserted words that project his mental situation such as “Crazy” Nancy Pelosi:
‘Crazy Nancy Pelosi’s Impeachment Hoax has lifted Republican Congressional Polls (she lost the House once before!), and my Polls, WAY UP, which was expected, but it has had a great effect on Republican Senate races, including North Carolina, Kentucky, Colorado and Arizona. Thanks!’
Trump then thanked Iowa for the “record vote” he got in the primary:
‘Thank you Iowa for the RECORD vote we just received in the Primary. The Dems were 25% down (although their votes are all fried!).’
Thank you Iowa for the RECORD vote we just received in the Primary. The Dems were 25% down (although their votes are all fried!). https://t.co/xQb5ZKWVeT — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2020
Next, there was that word again, “crazed:”
‘The Dems are crazed, they will do anything. Honesty & truth don’t matter to them. They are badly wounded. Iowa vote count was a disaster for them!’
Twitter world went up in flames. Find out how the voters doused those fires:

Last week, the Republican majority in the Senate secured an acquittal for President Donald Trump in response to the impeachment charges brought against him, which included abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Those charges stemmed from Trump’s plot to bribe Ukraine with military aid and a summit in D.C. into investigating his political opponents, particularly the Bidens. Despite the conclusion of Trump’s Senate trial, the issue won’t be going away anytime soon, and this weekend on ABC’s This Week, former vice president turned Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden himself insisted that he’d work undeterred to hold Trump accountable for his brazen belligerence.
Host George Stephanopoulos asked Biden about his personal feelings about his family and, in particular, his son Hunter getting turned into a political football for the 2020 presidential election season, and the former vice president explained in response:
‘I can’t let my anger overcome the desire and the need to have to unite and heal this country. And so, I’ve got to move beyond me and beyond my family.

But that’s the way Trump works. But it’s not going to work on me. I’ll be damned — I’ve been hit a lot. But it’s not going to work on me.’
Watch:

With absolutely no evidence to back them up, Trump and his cronies have spent months now publicly alleging that there’s something nefarious surrounding Hunter Biden’s service to a particular Ukrainian company. Not a single specific (and evidence-based) allegation of criminal misconduct has emerged — the president and his team are, essentially, just pointing and shouting.
Biden also commented more generally on Trump’s acquittal despite the overwhelming and uncontestable evidence of that scheme to get Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
He shared:
‘The worst thing that happened was them acquitting Trump when they acknowledged that he interfered. He tried to get a foreign power to say something negative about me or my son… I’m worried this guy’s got just a free pass now, on anybody.’

No matter where the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump can rest assured that Democrats are coming for the White House .
Sanders denounced Trump after host Jake Tapper asked him about recent criticism from Hillary Clinton , who ’ s recently resorted to criticizing the Vermont Senator , who she faced in an election contest some four years ago .
Sanders didn ’ t take the bait seeking a 2016 rehash , but instead , he insisted : ‘ I think we have got to unite the Democratic Party to defeat the most dangerous president in modern American history , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2016 .
But in terms of our agenda , it is the agenda of what working people want .
In terms of healthcare , we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee healthcare to all people , and we ’ re spending twice as much per capita .

Sanders denounced Trump after host Jake Tapper asked him about recent criticism from Hillary Clinton, who’s recently resorted to criticizing the Vermont Senator, who she faced in an election contest some four years ago. Sanders didn’t take the bait seeking a 2016 rehash, but instead, he insisted:

These policy proposals put Sanders in direct opposition to Donald Trump. The current president claims, for instance, that he will protect health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions — but in reality, right now his administration is arguing in court that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should be completely thrown out, pre-existing conditions protections and all. They have no replacement plan ready to go.
Sanders went on from the above to continue to defend his plans for the U.S., which contrast starkly with the rich racists-centered policies from Trump.
Discussing universal healthcare, Sanders told Tapper:
‘If Canada can do it, if Europe can do it, the United States of America can do it. That is not a false promise. That is simply having the courage to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry that in some cases charges us ten times more for the same drugs they sell in Canada.’
That stands in stark contrast to the Trump administration’s own behavior. Current Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar used to be an executive at big pharma company Eli Lilly. The Food and Drug Administration’s chief of staff Keagan Resler Lenihan, worked as a lead lobbyist for the big pharma company McKesson from 2011 through 2016. The so-called Domestic Policy Council’s director is a man named Joe Grogan — who, like those others, served for years as a top earner in big pharma. He worked from 2011 through 2017 as a lobbyist for the pharma company Gilead Sciences.

There is a slice of the Senate that genuinely supported the president. Yet, the majority of the Republicans by far feared POTUS. After their “not guilty” votes, the halls of Congress were filled with people walking with their heads hung in shame.

Trump tweeted that “Sabato got it all wrong.” Who was Sabato? He has been the Director, UVA Center for Politics. He was also an author, of The Kennedy Half Century. Plus, he has sent out The Crystal Ball, which is a political newsletter/website that handicaps electoral outcomes.
The president’s gleeful tweet gloated that the political consultant got “it all wrong.” However, he retweeted Sabato saying that “Trump will still be president,” which made no sense:
‘Sabato got it all wrong last time, never came close to understanding the Trump Voter. Actually it’s simple, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and then, KEEP AMERICA GREAT!’
Sabato showed one of President John F. Kennedy’s favorite quotes, which was applicable to those senators with heads hung low:
‘A favorite JFK quote: “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.’
Trump continued on about Sabato, noting that Trump voters follow the simple route with “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” and “KEEP AMERICA GREAT:”
‘.@LarrySabato is much better at giving you the answer after everything is finished and the final result is in, than he is at telling you what is going to happen because, in fact, he doesn’t have a clue!’
Sabato added a postscript, noting he has “not yet been escorted out” as have the others who testified against Trump:
‘UPDATE: I have not yet been escorted out of the @UVA @Center4Politics’
Then, POTUS tweeted about Senator Doug Jones (D-AL), who voted “guilty.” Trump was relishing his attack on “that lightweight senator:”
‘So good to see that Republicans will be winning the Great State of Alabama Senate Seat back, now that lightweight Senator @DougJones cast a partisan vote for the Impeachment Hoax. Thought his boss, Cryin’ Chuck, would have forced him to vote against the Hoax. A Do Nothing Stiff!’
Next, Trump was after FBI Director Christopher Wray. The president tweeted that the “FISA Warrants and Survailence (sic) “were “illegal.” He must have meant surveillance, not something people do in Vail, Colorado:
‘FBI Director Christopher Wray just admitted that the FISA Warrants and Survailence (sic) of my campaign were illegal. So was the Fake Dossier. THEREFORE, THE WHOLE SCAM INVESTIGATION, THE MUELLER REPORT AND EVERYTHING ELSE FOR THREE YEARS, WAS A FIXED HOAX. WHO PAYS THE PRICE?….’
POTUS called out the “biggest political crime in American History.” He was right. The thing was, Trump’s was the “biggest political crime:”
‘….This is the biggest political crime in American History, by far. SIMPLY PUT, THE PARTY IN POWER ILLEGALLY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE ELECTION, IN ORDER TO CHANGE OR NULLIFY THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION. IT CONTINUED ON WITH THE IMPEACHMENT HOAX. Terrible!’
To Trump, the “swamp” has always been the government of the United States. To Democrats, the “swamp” has been the criminal actors surrounding the president:
‘DRAIN THE SWAMP!’
The man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office ended where he began, after getting his cheap, perverse thrill for displaying his own criminal activity. Trump referred to MAGA:
‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and then, KEEP AMERICA GREAT!’

President Donald Trump secured an acquittal at the end of his recent Senate impeachment trial on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress , but he ’ s still finding plenty to complain about anyway .
This weekend , he launched into repeated Twitter tirades against a couple of those Senators who dared to oppose him during that Senate trial , including West Virginia ’ s Joe Manchin , who ’ s a moderate Democrat ( and isn ’ t actually up for re-election until 2024 ) .
Trump belted out that Manchin was supposedly dumb and an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a public statement pointing out that he ’ s the one — not Trump — who has actually been working to secure tangible benefits for Americans .

’ That last part refers to the president ’ s blanket refusal to allow absolutely any compliance with Congressional subpoenas for witness testimony from his administration ’ s officials .

Down in reality , Manchin even suggested a vote to censure Trump , which would be a rebuke without the threat of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ones who secured a fiercely partisan process .
Originally , before Manchin ’ s above-quoted post , Trump had called him a “ puppet ” and “ weak & pathetic.

” He followed that up with a Sunday morning diatribe against Manchin , who he called — wait for it — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president of the United States resorting to outlandishly petty insults .

At a time when Americans send emails and express their voices to their representatives in phone calls , the responses are often brief , sterile , and asking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with this latest group of representatives , though .
Representative Schiff treated Americans with dignity , respect , and even gratitude in an emailed letter to all the people who supported him , no matter how small the effort .
The optimistic representative said : Then , Schiff explained why he is “ still optimistic : ’ He explained that the question he most-often received was “ Was it worth it ?

This effort was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this was also the reason they had no choice : After the Democratic Representatives argued the voters ’ case , the Senate voted against a fair trial : Based on the evidence , there was no doubt that this was a solid case for impeachment .
Instead , Senate Majority Leader “ Moscow Mitch ” McConnell ( R-KY ) sided with Trump : Trump ’ s defense would have shocked our country ’ s founders : Schiff knew that Americans could “ see through this : ” Then , Schiff explained that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of history : ” Senator Mitt Romney ( R-UT ) “ rose to that task ” along with the three Democratic senators in extremely difficult states for them to win in the 2020 election : ‘ I know that their courage will lead others to think about what they can do in these dangerous times for our democracy and our Constitution .
It certainly inspired me .

It must be .
The Founders believed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be self-governing and the courage that some of these Senators showed — though not a majority — was enough to bolster my confidence in the future.

‘First of all, thank you. Throughout this process, you’ve stood with me and helped me more than I can tell you. Whether it was with your emails, petitions, or kind words of encouragement, the feedback I’ve gotten has been so meaningful and galvanizing.’
Then, Schiff explained why he is “still optimistic:’
‘I know we’ll get through this — because in America, right still matters, truth still matters and decency still matters.’
He explained that the question he most-often received was “Was it worth it?”
‘The President tried to cheat in the next election by soliciting foreign interference. And more than solicit, Trump withheld hundreds of millions in military aid to an ally at war in order to coerce that country into doing his political dirty work.’
Schiff continued:
‘And when he got caught — when we exposed his scheme — he tried to cover it up and obstructed our investigation. As one law professor put it in the House, if that’s not impeachable, nothing is.’
People understood that the representatives were fulfilling their duty to the USA and to the people. This effort was an “uphill battle.” Yet, this was also the reason they had no choice:
‘[M]any Senators had made up their minds before they had even heard the evidence. But we also knew that the facts were on our side, that we had a constitutional duty to perform, and that the President’s conduct left us no choice.’
After the Democratic Representatives argued the voters’ case, the Senate voted against a fair trial:
‘After two weeks of arguments and questions from Senators, and many late nights, the Senate was left with a choice of whether to call witnesses and demand the documents the White House had withheld — essentially whether to hold a fair trial, or to participate in the President’s coverup.’
Based on the evidence, there was no doubt that this was a solid case for impeachment. Instead, Senate Majority Leader “Moscow Mitch” McConnell (R-KY) sided with Trump:
‘Mitch McConnell chose a coverup and gave Donald Trump what he wanted — the first impeachment trial in American history without live witnesses, and without review of essential documents. In doing the President’s bidding, McConnell and Senate Republicans shut down the impeachment prematurely and deprived the American people of the fair trial they deserved. They also kept critical information about the President’s wrongdoing from the American people.’
The chairman added:
‘But without a fair trial, the President couldn’t get everything he wanted.’
Trump’s defense would have shocked our country’s founders:
‘In the end, the President’s defense laid out an argument that would have left the Founders aghast. They argued that even the blatant abuse of power the President engaged in, extorting an ally for his own personal, political benefit, wasn’t an impeachable offense.’
The California representative added:
‘In so many words, they echoed the admonition from the President’s Chief of Staff that we should just “get over it.”’
Schiff knew that Americans could “see through this:”
‘For the first time in history, a majority of the American people favored the impeachment, conviction and removal of a sitting U.S. President. The American people know that what the President did was wrong, that he abused his power, and that he acted immorally.’
Then, Schiff explained that “one vote could help change the course of history:”
‘I said that if even a single Senator put country over party, if even a single Senator could be the David to take on Goliath, that one person could change the course of history. They would also demonstrate a form of courage that Robert Kennedy said was even more rare than courage in battle — moral courage. The courage to do the right thing.’
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) “rose to that task” along with the three Democratic senators in extremely difficult states for them to win in the 2020 election:
‘I know that their courage will lead others to think about what they can do in these dangerous times for our democracy and our Constitution. It certainly inspired me. And it has made me optimistic about our future. ‘I believe courage can be contagious too. It must be. The Founders believed that men and women possess sufficient virtue to be self-governing and the courage that some of these Senators showed — though not a majority — was enough to bolster my confidence in the future.’
Schiff acknowledged that the country has been going “through this dark chapter in our nation’s history,” but we’re going to get through this:”
‘We’ve faced terrible trials and divisions before, and emerged even stronger. November is right around the corner, and that’s our next chance to change the course of our history for the better. And coming out of this process, I’m optimistic about our country’s future. You should be too. ‘And you matter. To me. Thank you again.’

White House counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox & Friends Monday .

He said they “ didn ’ t get fire [ but ] just got relocated , ” according to The POLITICO : ‘ They are working at the Army , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the NSC .

Donald Trump has not finished his double-sided ax bloodbath of getting even with those who testified against him. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his twin, a senior attorney, both worked in the National Security Council (NSC) until the president vindictively thrust them out with a very public police escort. Only one brother testified, but the marketer-in-chief knows that publicly punishing family members generates a special kind of cruel pain upon those on his enemies list.
White House counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway appeared on Fox & Friends Monday. During her interview, she appeared to hint that removing the brothers from their jobs was just the beginning of Trump’s reign of terror.

Conway did not have a good reason for the president’s actions. After all, Vindman’s appointment would have ended in July 2020 anyway.
Then, there was Gordon Sondland. He was ambassador to the European Union until the president recalled him “effective immediately.” Conway said that he had been a “reluctant Trump supporter:”
‘[I]t was nice of the president to give him that post in the first place. He wrote a big check to the inauguration but wasn’t really there before the president improbably, unsurprisingly, won, for people like that.’
Both Sondland and Vindman honored their subpoenas from the House impeachment hearings. The number of those who did so was very limited. Trump told all of his administration to ignore the subpoenas and the documents related to the issue as a result.
As soon as the president’s trials were ended with an acquitted, White House sources have been threatening “payback.” They indicated that anyone who testified or even played a very small part in the impeachment would suffer the wrath comparable to that of Genghis Khan, according to Good Reads.

bipartisanreport--2020-02-10--Trump’s Post-Acquittal Revenge Tour Hits Major Roadblock

In their neverending quest to prove that President Donald Trump did absolutely nothing wrong , his legal team has attempted to essentially completely block off Congress from any kind of investigation into apparent personal misconduct by public officials , no matter the decades-long precedent for exactly that kind of investigation .

Now , a report in the Daily Beast notes , that argument , which Trump ’ s team has brought in court cases , could upend plans for a Senate GOP-led investigation of Trump ’ s own political opponents .

The problem is that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unclear at best connection to valid legislative purposes , making the president ’ s team ’ s arguments self-defeating and even potentially opening avenues for court challenges to their own planned probes .
‘ If Trump prevails on challenges to Congress ’ oversight powers now before the Supreme Court , he may also limit the ability of his congressional allies to embark on the witch hunts Trump wants them to pursue against his political adversaries .
Why ?
Because , in order to protect the president , Trump ’ s own lawyers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are asking the Court to effectively bar Congress from investigating allegedly corrupt public officials.

He also mentioned plans for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former VP ’ s son — who , of course , is not a public official , has never been a public official , and has no apparent plans to try and become a public official .

In their neverending quest to prove that President Donald Trump did absolutely nothing wrong, his legal team has attempted to essentially completely block off Congress from any kind of investigation into apparent personal misconduct by public officials, no matter the decades-long precedent for exactly that kind of investigation. Besides the argument from figures like controversial Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz that Trump’s conduct is legal in the first place thanks to the president’s personal conviction that he’s acting in the public interest, they’ve argued that Congress shouldn’t even be allowed to launch investigations without what they call a valid legislative purpose. Now, a report in the Daily Beast notes, that argument, which Trump’s team has brought in court cases, could upend plans for a Senate GOP-led investigation of Trump’s own political opponents.
That planned investigation would target the Bidens and thereby carry the torch of Trump’s ultimately failed attempt to bribe Ukraine into investigating the former vice president turned Democratic presidential candidate’s family on unfounded allegations of corruption. The problem is that any investigation of the Bidens would have an unclear at best connection to valid legislative purposes, making the president’s team’s arguments self-defeating and even potentially opening avenues for court challenges to their own planned probes.
Journalist David Lurie summarizes:
‘If Trump prevails on challenges to Congress’ oversight powers now before the Supreme Court, he may also limit the ability of his congressional allies to embark on the witch hunts Trump wants them to pursue against his political adversaries. Why? Because, in order to protect the president, Trump’s own lawyers and Bill Barr’s Justice Department are asking the Court to effectively bar Congress from investigating allegedly corrupt public officials.’
But that’s exactly the kind of investigation that Trump allies like Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is an ardent Trump ally, have been planning to launch. Just this weekend during an appearance on Face The Nation, he rattled off a list of his investigation plans, including targeting a whistleblower who helped reveal Trump’s original plot to bribe Ukraine. He also mentioned plans for an investigation of Hunter Biden, the former VP’s son — who, of course, is not a public official, has never been a public official, and has no apparent plans to try and become a public official. It’s Graham and his compatriots engaging in the exact kind of overreach that they’ve alleged of Dems.
Lurie notes:
‘If the Supreme Court accepts Trump’s argument, the investigation into the Biden conspiracy theory that Graham and his senate colleagues have committed to pursuing at Trump’s behest would be strictly constrained, if not ended. According to Sekulow and the DOJ, it is precisely such efforts to inquire into ‘personal’ corruption that are outside Congress’s oversight power.’
Of course, that argument from the Trump team is not exactly grounded in real Congressional precedent. In the aftermath of Congressional Republicans committing even further to protecting the president from scrutiny, House Dems like Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Intel Chairman Adam Schiff (Calif.) have committed to continuing their own watchful eye on the president.
