@Sapphire Riddles Not that I agree with the rationale, but I suspect that the argument from the White House is that certain subpoenaed documents or topics of testimony are protected as privileged advice to the president (e.g., McGahn's official conversations with Trump). I don't think they're invoking executive privilege to block release of the unredacted Mueller Report to Congress.
Yes, the USA' fundamental law, their oh s praised constitution with its oh so praisd "checks and balances", has serious flaws. Government can block a parliamentary investigation into its own potentially criminal activities. Laughable, really.
That's government for you. I'm sorry did you think you'll try to be reasonable and the world will just accept you, and if you are wrong they will tell you why? Nah man, dog eat dog here, at least been for the past few centuries or so. ( *Sigh* )
@T Electronix I agree. I doubt executive privilege could be invoked at that point. I presume the DOJ would then have to make a separate argument that it's protected grand jury testimony (if it is). The White House is clearly grasping at straws... to the point of making up straws (e.g., Mnuchin's nonsensical justification for refusing to provide Trump's requested tax returns to Congress, which has _clear_ statutory authority).

Same here! It’s shocking to know that many middle class Aussies, think he’s doing a good job. I know, I live with one who will not hear a bad word about him, and I have quite a few!
Sure, be a little cocky now, but the damage Donald and his administration has done and intends to do on the planet, affects us all, and generations to come. Let's also make note of rises in racial hate crimes, globally...
I agree he is making it worse all around the world, So Ni . But there's nothing we folk outside the US can do, practically. I'm just disappointed that the US system seems to be very faulty now to allow this madman to become and stay president.
Ha ha ha good point!!! He admitted that he is a "real" genius !!! Time to drain the Trumpo Swamp !!! Trump is a lying, narcissistic weenie just like all his lackeys: Fred Flintstone- Barr and Huckleaberry -Sanders and Psycho Steve Miller !!

David Moore Are you related to Roy Moore by any chance? How about Stephen Moore? You know what these Moores have in common? They’re *Mooreons* (pun intended), just like you. I feel as though all Moores are the same
@David Moore Investment. Trump is a lying narcissistic man that would make a very good dictator. Though hardly a fit man for a democratic society. But then he is in the US which can hardly be called democratic anyway.
You mean these banks ( from Haarets ) Bank Mizrahi Tefahot announced late Tuesday night (March 13 2019) it had come to an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice on a deferred prosecution agreement on allegations it had helped customers evade taxes. The agreement follows a five-year process, and is similar to one that Bank Leumi signed with U.S. authorities four years ago. Leumi was the first Israeli bank to finish the U.S. authorities’ tax evasion investigation, and it paid a $400 million fine. To date (March 13 2019) , the U.S. regulators have extracted a total of $1.4 billion from the three Israeli banks, two of which - Leumi and Hapoalim - are controlled by the public.
@@AClRCLEOFLlGHT Lol I live in a country where tax returns are public documents to begin with. What's the point of hiding them? Taxation should be transparent.
@Jonathan Lumbreras Trump isn't good 1. You didn't capitalize his name so obviously you don't think so 2. Your a commie fascist rus bot 3. EVERY BUSINESS HE'S EVER HAD HAS FAILED LOL yeah good Dems Libs Aliens = ANYONE is better than Trumpicon
@Jonathan Lumbreras it has nothing to do with party, it has to do with facts, not foxes. Did you know that the disclaimer in fox news is that it is entertainment, and not actually news? Do you get your facts from another source? Or just stare at blonde boobs and believe everything you are told, only because it is what you wanted to hear? Or because Trump just repeats what he says until you believe his lies too? MAG, not MAGA. When was America great? Slavery? Not allowing women to vote?
Every time I think that such a man got to become POTUS, my head bows in shame. I am not exaggerating. I can never come to terms with lack of class that Trump suffers from.
At least his career and reputation is going down the garbage disposal because of that. Oh, he might not lose his job right now. Maybe he'll even get to keep it until 2020. But once he's not AG anymore, no reputable company will hire him. Wherever he goes he'll get pointed at and criticized by strangers. His only hope will be to migrate to some small corner of the world inhabited only by Trump supporters.
Imagine if Obama said no he’s showing his birth certificate? You would NEVER hear the end of it. But when it comes to trump not showing his tax returns..it’s okey dokey smh

Elijahjsmith22 or his grades, or the full Mueller report, or his medical records, or the transcripts from his meetings with daddy Vladdy and lil Kim...
How can you have judiciary oversight of the DOJ, without the evidence & the the report ?? If the Trump says hd was totally exonerated, why not show it ??
@Scott CostaI've read a fair amount of the report released to the public. He is far from innocent, Before you start using dumb to describe Dems you should understand most educated people are Democrat. Religious people who pray to an imaginary angry sky daddy are normally republicans. I'm independent fyi.
Scott Costa also a couple of cool facts you’re probably ignoring Blue states are the ones that subsidize red states. Without them red states would go belly up
Impeach the best president we had in a long time? No thanks. I think your biased opinion is based on the propaganda from people who personally hate Trump. But you can hate him but he is doing a great job. Looks at the numbers in unemployment and job growth and my 401k has done very well too!
First he didn't pull executive privilege on any of it (as per barr) now he says he's pulling it after its been released...what in the bafoonary is this bull. And underlining evidence...?
Watch Bernie school those goofs on economics before a Texas audience i believe. Must be on here somewhere. Epic stuff he turned the audience against them, a Fox audience btw. Happened couple weeks ago i believe.
Trump supporters disgust you because you have decency and are not divorced from reality like those fascists are. They even use fascist phrases like "cultural Marxism," but insist they aren't fascist.
I just watched 3 hours(it's longer) of the contempt charge against Barr....holy fuck! I want to get arrested just so I can use same excuses. It's crazy that the person in charge of arresting POTUS is the person he hires.
@Kevin Prima Trump STILL has to deal with the SDNY! The same people who bring down mob bosses. They are no joke.! Trump can't escape a state indictment. So we will see
Does he still own those Casinos , oh yeah he dont , why sell a business that is making money ? Where is all T-Rump businesses , if they are so great and make money ? Remember he had 2 magazines , they both failed when he did not pay staff their salaries and no one was buying them . How was his father able to make over 50 mil profit in NY real estate business , same year when baby Donald lost 250 million ?
Well, Vice News made a video about this yesterday. Search "What Congress Can Do When A President Ignores Its Subpoenas" here in YT. The "Three equal branches of government" mentioned in constitution is actually "Executive branch can do pretty much anything they want". Time for a update?
In his mind it's better to admit to being a criminal than it is to admit to being poor. After all, he has ample evidence that his supporters will continue to support him regardless of any and all crimes he commits. He isn't ready to test the waters yet on him being a loser.
Cheating, which the tangerine wankmaggot considers to be a sport, is an activity he’s practiced often. On his taxes, on his wives, on the golf course. He is a man of low character and absolutely no integrity. As president, he has cheated on his country, with Putin. He probably had Cohen threaten the schools he attended because there are records of his cheating back then, too.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy Honor thy father and thy mother . Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet. He's a greedy one too...
So the possibilities are: a) he's a terrible businessman who made huge losses and stayed afloat by his rich privilege or b) he's a giant crook who exploited the system by writing off assets that he shouldn't have been and therefore was robbing the taxpayer Great options Mr. President. Great options. It's always wonderful to see how incredibly successful those super rich men are by the merits of their 'hard work'.
The art of becoming a super genius billionaire.. Step 1. Be born on third base and have a rich father as a safety net. Step 2. Just keep borrowing money and driving your businesses into the ground. Step 3. Have daddy keep bailing you out. Step 4 - Over declare your losses and under declare your profits. Step 5 - When no more banks will loan you money, go to the bank that is in the business of laundering Russian mob money, and barrow billions more. Step 6. Start a reality show based on your fake business acumen Step 7. Con a bunch of mindless idiots to make you president Step 8. Just flat out refuse to abide by any laws backed by a bunch of spineless, duplicitous republicans willing to sell their own souls to keep the rains of power. And there you go... How to be a billionaire and destroy democracy in 8 simple steps.

Actually the "sport" he played was ruination of as many lives as possible while walking away with as much pirated and grifted gains as possible. But, the "sport" he did for fun was lie to the budget committee by under selling needed amounts of money, then screaming about how he's bleeding money, just to see investors *Quake in their boots* and everyone else jump around like rabbits trying to get him what he wants. Like what he's doing as a President. Problem is, he was doing "SPORTS" with businesses, and it made them TANK INTO BANKRUPTCY. But he's President now... #FuckTrumpBecauseIAmRepublican

@@984francis makes you wonder what's in it for him? Won't it be a little difficult to find a job after something like this? Or will notoriety give access to deeply conservative employers who are wealthy? The man is clearly intelligent, but clearly corrupt or corruptible...
That's why he was going on about the "hurricane boat". He was wondering if the storm gods had brought his back to him ! For being such a good president, you know.
It would not do any good. If you are rich in America and go to prison as a 'white collar' criminal you get treated better than 90% of the population lives in America. And in there he would be like a god to them. He could spend all his days bragging about how he got away with it for 50 years. He should have to go live in the hood where the Central Park 5 lived and serve them for 20 years.

Rebecca, the babies are the sad ass losers that can't get over the fact that Trump isn't a Russian spy and anyone who is sad he isn't a spy is a traitor to America, like you.
tax evasion? I'm sure he did that too, and I have to admit I stopped listening to ALL the trumpty dumpty bs (it gets a bit much), but I thought he lost billions - so no taxes owed? he did make some money but can't taxes owed be deferred to the following year? if he didn't make money the following year, any refund owed to him from a previous year could be used to pay what's owed. (How can you tell I don't do taxes)
@Scott Costa Actually, all you have to do, is read FULL Mueller report, to learn the truth :) You know, the one that "exonerated" him.. That is probably why he's doing everything to keep you from seeing it, he's too damn innocent, hahahahahahahahaha! You just keep electing him, every single moment he is in office, America means less and less in the world! Every single second he is in office, ALL American enemies are celebrating, to use your favorite term, BIGLY, hahahahaha!
