Well…it looks like Jerry Nadler of the Judiciary committee has had enough of the stonewalling from trump and his cronies and is getting prepared to issue subpoenas to just about everyone who had anything to do with trump/Russia and the Mueller report. This is going to be a major test of the powers that the Legislative branch is granted by the Constitution and that have never been questioned by the courts…every time, the courts have ruled that yes, the House does have the power to compel testimony from anyone, no matter what the sychophant Bill Barr does or says. That includes Robert Mueller, who Barr has dangled help to avoid going in front of the House on the 17th in just the past few days…imagine that…the AG of the US trying to protect a criminal instead of upholding the Constitution as he swore to do…yeah, I know, after the past two years it appears quaint that the laws should apply to repubs but they still do and the only people in this country who still uphold them is the dems…this is a fight this country needs…impeach…

Could be today…
Well…sitting here waiting for the chicken to cook for lunch and thought I’d do one of these while I wait so I don’t feel stressed when I head back out on the bike this aft…today could be the day that the first subpoena on trumps financial records gets upheld and his accounting firm could be forced to turn them over. Last week, the judge in the case called bullshit on the delays that trump’s lawyers were trying to do by breaking the case down into tiny little parts and hoping the judge would go along with their ploys and stretch the case out for months…but, the judge wasn’t buying it, saying he was ready to hear from the parties involved today and he would rule on the validity of the subpoenas by the end of the day. One of the stunning parts was the judge told trump’s lawyers that there was no need for any other filings in the case since there was enough case law already on the books for him to render a decision…and legal experts out there think that means that that the legality of the subpoenas will be upheld. Of course that means that trump’s lawyers will appeal the decision immediately and I hope the House’s lawyers will again ask for an expedited hearing to take away trump’s only move that is to delay, delay, delay until he is out of office. There are other cases that are also coming up with idiot boy’s attempt to block Deutsche Bank from handing over more records and we can hope that that judge will expedite the case as well…as Rachel said last night, they can delay but they won’t be able to stop the House from getting the information they asked for…and that could be today…impeach…
