The House Judiciary Committee Is Launching A New Investigation

The House Judiciary Committee is launching a new investigation into “potential Constitutional abuses and public corruption by President Trump.”

The House Judiciary Committee on Monday launched an investigation into potential Constitutional abuses and public corruption by President Trump with a sweeping request for documents from the president’s family, businesses and administration.

Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said the requests issued to 81 individuals and entities would help the committee probe three main topics: obstruction of justice, including the potential interference by the president into criminal investigations; public corruption, including violations of the emoluments clause; and abuses of power, including attacks on the free press, the judiciary and law enforcement agencies.

Is this not exactly what we told you would happen if Democrats took charge? We told you to prepare for COUNTLESS pointless investigations, and whaddya know. Here we are. HERE. WE. ARE.

And you know the goal, right? Isn’t it obvious? They are all hoping this leads to something “substantial” enough to impeach Trump. (IMPEACH 45! -say it like Maxine.)

“We have sent these document requests in order to begin building the public record,” Nadler said in a statement, noting that special counsel Robert Mueller and the Southern District of New York are aware of the actions. “We will act quickly to gather this information, assess the evidence, and follow the facts where they lead with full transparency with the American people.”

A committee counsel said the initial goal is to “amass a very large treasure trove of evidence” that it will then begin to comb through to help guide the investigation.

Democrats are scrambling. This is plan…B? C? D? They know the Mueller report will come up short, and they have to do SOMETHING to nail Trump. Hence, this pointless inquiry.
