That's my Rep! Go get 'em Jamie!


scribblecurator

He is such a great representative. He is really teaching new, young dems how to deal with GOP hypocrisy. He is knowledgeable, quick witted, earnest and funny. Such an asset.

It's almost unfair to Comer how much the ranking member runs circles around him on his own committee. This is a classic play you can use to get people in charge of stuff to take responsibility. Raskin: >Oh hey when you took over all this Trump investigation stuff got immediately discontinued according to his lawyers. Kind of problematic, did you order that? Comer >Uh, I don't even know who Trump's lawyers are, it's probably a coincidence. Raskin: >Oh fuck they just did this unprompted? That's even worse! We have to investigate Trump twice as hard now if you didn't even order this!

Some tidbits, > Raskin said the situation represents a “possible serious fraud being perpetrated on our Committee.” > > Citing reporting from The Messenger, Raskin also called into question how the committee’s investigation into Trump’s businesses concluded. Mazars, which was once an accounting firm for the former president, abruptly stopped providing documents to the committee early last year after Republicans took over the House. > > Correspondence reviewed by The Messenger showed that a lawyer for Trump told Mazars in January 2023 that the committee was no longer interested in making the accounting firm turnover more documents in the probe. Five months later, a Washington, D.C., court officially dismissed an agreement between the committee and Mazars for the production of the documents. > > The U.S. Supreme Court in 2021 dropped two cases against Trump on foreign emoluments, ruling the issue was moot since he was no longer in office, leaving open the question of whether a sitting president can receive money from overseas without the approval of Congress. >

Yet another round of, if we can’t beat him we’ll just indict him…..


CheeksMix

IIRC he lost both popular votes. I think this investigation has more to do with all of the fraud going on. Haha.


Lieuwe2019

More like children pretending in a kangaroo court just like the rest of the indictments. If only Biden could campaign on his accomplishments…..dems are desperate….


CheeksMix

I feel like you may be only getting one side of the story if you think the left sees this as desperately trying to cling on to presidency. You have only been hearing news from media and not the ongoing court proceedings if you see this as a “witch hunt” and not another seriously credible investigation that’s been piling up on to even more pressing and concerning investigations.


Lieuwe2019

Sounds like you’re only hearing news from one side as well….the side that has already decided on guilt…..


CheeksMix

Umm no, I literally said court proceedings. As in what’s being said in the court from both sides. Hahaha.


Lieuwe2019

Unless you’re reading actual court transcripts, you’re still just reading what someone else is writing……


CheeksMix

https://www.scribd.com/document/636351494/Trump-Arraignment-Transcript Yup. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Hahaha.


Lieuwe2019

Arraignment or trial?…..


CheeksMix

To which one? There are a lot of them, sorry that was the most recent one that came to mind. [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23317687-e-jean-carroll-v-donald-trump-112422](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23317687-e-jean-carroll-v-donald-trump-112422) Heres a trial, so now you can have both. :p Arraignment and trails go hand-in-hand in a country that has strong moral responsibilities to do the right thing. The arraignment is for the falsified records of his tax returns. Which currently look to be correct as his tax returns have been leaked. Lol


notjustanytadpole

How can you still support Trump? I am genuinely curious.


tal125

You won't get an honest answer from him.


notjustanytadpole

Yeah, I don’t expect to but I am curious how people can be so unaffected by his criminality.


Lieuwe2019

And yet you are willing to turn a blind eye to the Biden crime family….


notjustanytadpole

What crimes? Please provide details. If Biden is a criminal, he would not have my support. But, he’s not. Trump is a criminal. It’s well established. Yet people like you continue to support him. Why? What does he to so well that you turn a blind eye?


Lieuwe2019

If trump was a criminal then why isn’t he being tried in criminal court??…why do they have to resort to civil trials?? You sound a little slow and very well indoctrinated so I’ll tell you….it’s all politically motivated. You’re welcome.


notjustanytadpole

You can lob insults and just reveal more about yourself. And, you still haven’t shared the list of Biden’s crimes. When will you get to that?


Longjumping_War_807

The dude has 90 plus felony charges and he’s pending trial. What in absolute fuck are you smoking?


Ok-Till-8905

You really can’t be that dense. Imma call bs. Either a Russian or Chinese operative or a bot for Russia or China! Lol. Kangaroo court. Lol. This guy wants more hunter dick picks and laptops. Get after it dog


Lieuwe2019

Lack of an intelligent argument tells me you probably are that dense.
