Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

 two federal judges ruled decisively in favor of Congress’ right to subpoena President Trump’s personal financial and business records. The speed of the decisions—unusual in complex federal litigation—demonstrates a significant flaw in the administration’s “fight all the subpoenas” strategy. More importantly, it suggests that Trump’s strategy of categorically fighting all Congressional subpoenas will undermine his ability to stonewall Congress in subsequent cases.

Already, one of the rulings has been appealed by the Trump administration and the three-judge panel is scheduled to hear the case in July. In the meantime, however, we are witnessing profound legal decisions in defense of Congressional power.

If Trump’s stonewalling strategy was intended to run out the clock by forcing Democrats into interminable court fights, it appears so far to be having the exact opposite effect—almost like a little league game that gets called early because one team is scoring too many unanswered runs.

On Monday, federal judge Amit Mehta issued a sweeping decision rejecting Trump’s personal challenge to a House Oversight Committee subpoena of his financial records from an accounting firm he used. The main argument Trump advanced was that there was no legislative purpose for the subpoena.

Judge Mehta made quick work of that argument, noting that courts have long held that they must presume Congress is acting to legislate.




Trump’s argument is doomed to fail in the courts because the constitution gives the House the “full Power of Impeachment” and it could not exercise that authority without investigating presidential wrongdoing. Judge Mehta found that it is “simply not fathomable” that “a constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a president for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct—past or present—even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry.”

You had your fun already for two and a half years.  Enough is enough.  This is nothing more than harassment.  You lost the 2016 election fair and square.  Get over it.

Interesting, that is not what you said after over 3 years and multiple investigations of Hillary over nothing.

Interesting, that is not what you called the years and multiple witch hunts of Hillary.  Call it what you want, but you will be seeing a hell of a lot more.

t the 2016 election fair and square.

We have found out that is not true Dan.  First, Denying Don lost by over 3 million votes.  Then we find that the Russians hacked the elections of 21 states.  Then we find all of the Red State voter fraud and vote rigging.

Get over it.

Dancing Don is going to be impeached and LOCKED UP for his numerous crimes against America and the American people.  Get over it.
