I'm in favor of keel-hauling.

Judge orders Trump accounting firm to hand over records to Congress

https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/20/polit...rds/index.html

Quote:
Congress specifically can probe the President for conflicts of interest and ethical questions, Mehta wrote.
"History has shown that congressionally-exposed criminal conduct by the President or a high-ranking Executive Branch official can lead to legislation," Mehta wrote, citing the Watergate investigation by the Senate.
"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," he added.
As you said yourself, Donny, you're fu**ed.

Let's hope this is the first of many. It's going to be an 'interesting' summer.

i wonder who the chief judge is in the circuit where all of the fights between congress and trump will play out and whether he cares about partisan norm-busting. Oh that's right...it's some guy named merrick garland.

Judge refuses to block Trump bank subpoenas

https://apnews.com/bb3385956cc4483b999fa89c4ae706e8

Donny's criminal house of cards may soon tumble...

Quote:
A federal judge in New York is refusing to block congressional subpoenas seeking financial records from two banks that did business with President Donald Trump.

U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos said during a hearing Wednesday that Trump and his company were unlikely to succeed in a lawsuit arguing that the subpoenas were unlawful and unconstitutional.

Democrats in Congress have sought the information from Deutsche Bank and Capital One.

Deutsche Bank has lent Trump’s real estate company millions of dollars over the years.

The lawyers for the House Financial Services and Intelligence committees say they need access to documents from the banks to investigate possible “foreign influence in the U.S. political process.”
