Judge Slaps Dems in Impeachment Attempt

Law Hammer Justice Right Court Horizontal

A federal judge denied a Congressional request to link a subpoena for Don McGahn and one into the Russia’s grand jury investigation. Fox News reports:

A D.C. federal judge on Wednesday shot down an attempt by House Judiciary Committee Democrats to link their subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn to a separate request for secret grand jury information from the Russia investigation after the Justice Department accused them of trying to “game the system.”

Normally cases are assigned to judges randomly, which the DOJ said is meant to keep parties from “attempting to game the system” by “shopping” for a judge they like. But in a Tuesday court filing, the department alleged the Democrat-controlled committee was trying to do exactly that by exploiting an exception that allows “related” cases to be heard by the same judge. In this case, the DOJ said the panel improperly sought to connect the McGahn case to the grand jury case simply because they’re both part of their investigation of President Trump.

“[A]t first blush, the House Judiciary Committee’s view that the related case rule applies is understandable,” D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell wrote in her order rejecting the bid. “Nonetheless, closer examination demonstrates that these connections between the two cases are too superficial and attenuated for the instant McGahn Subpoena Case to qualify[.]”

Howell, who is currently assigned to the grand jury case, agreed with the DOJ’s argument that the committee’s request to unseal secret grand jury information from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe has to do with the application of the law under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, while the McGahn case is a civil matter dealing with enforcing a subpoena where immunity has been asserted.

This is another win for the President, and another nail in the Russia conspiracy.

A=h, they just cannot accept that Trump is President. They have vowed to disrupt his work at any/al costs even at the loss of NOT doing the work they were elected to do
They should all be indicted for failing their oath of office.
Maybe the AG will get around to the soon,

That is the reason the democrats and some republicans want him out of office because he will soon drain some more of the swamp!! Trump has learned a lot of the loop holes the first 3 years and still learning I believe he will get the Clintons the next 4 years!! P.S. I’m hoping.

YES ! Keeping Trump in office for another 4 years is exactly what we need to do. He has rescued this country on so many ‘fronts’ he deserves the right to continue his excellent work. There is much yet to be done. I do wish he would quit ‘twittering’ so much….. so many of his tweets give the Dems more opportunities to deflect attention away from the critical issues facing the country.

The U.S. national debt is massive—so massive that most Americans cannot comprehend it, much less solve it. But a crisis is looming, and a day of reckoning that will affect every American is coming. No politician. Not Republicans, not Democrats, and not the Communists among us will talk about our looming doom. When the US Dollar loses it’s “world currency” status the US will be faced with a serious reality: we need to pay our debts or become no better than many countries who have defaulted on their national borrowing. At over $22 TRILLION, our debt is equal to about 1.5 times our annual spending on the Federal level going out for about 7 years. Think about it, if we dedicated 100% of our Federal tax dollars to the debt we wouldn’t be able to spend any money at the Federal level for 7 years. Face it: America is bankrupt. On top of our simple debt, the US Federal government has between $150 TRILLION and $250 TRILLION dollars in unfunded liabilities over the next ten years. America is bankrupt. We have done to ourselves what we did to the USSR. Don’t know when the economy will collapse, but it appears to be inevitable.

The Democrats and their co conspirators, the media are doing all they can to harm the USA, they are doing nothing, absolutely NOTHING to solve our problems. The U.S. national debt is massive—so massive that most Americans cannot comprehend it, much less solve it. But a crisis is looming, and a day of reckoning that will affect every American is coming.

yup, call dem leeches- created a life-line of income for their “political agendas” not as ‘we the people’ but as permanent “”life career”” of self serving instead of stepping out of their shell and facing the REAL world which means a lot to lose.
If there was a real door to just close it and throw away the key!
As any employer would do-breach of ethics
Their REAL fear–“where would my income be if I left…this career??”
We the taxpayers forgot this famous quote—-“no taxation without representation”

Well we can see there’s a concerted effort to mess up the economy with some of these dumbos making out there’s going to be a financial crisis and the desperate in the stock exchange are falling for it. Anything to take the edge off the President and try to mess him up for re-election in 2020
