White House is reportedly worried that House Democrats will continue to dig up damaging information on Trump after the impeachment trial
White House officials are concerned that House Democrats will continue investigations into President Donald Trump even after the impeachment trial into Trump concludes, Politico reported on Saturday.
Trump is currently facing trial on two articles of impeachment alleging abuse of office and obstructing Congress over a campaign to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate his political rivals.
Since Trump was impeached by the House on December 18, a steady stream of new, incriminating information about the Ukraine scandal has continued to come to light.
Even though Trump is likely to be acquitted, Republicans expect House Democrats to continue investigating Trump, and they worry it could jeopardize the president's re-election prospects.

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Prosecutor: Giuliani associate's brother may be tied to campaign finance conspiracy case
NEW YORK The brother of an associate of President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani is under examination as part of a closely watched campaign finance conspiracy case, a federal prosecutor said Friday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos told a judge that Steven Fruman, the younger sibling of Giuliani business client Igor Fruman, could have been involved in the alleged scheme to buy influence by funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to U.S. politicians and campaign committees.
Roos said the younger sibling lied about his bank accounts and his businesses when questioned by government paralegals who were examining his suitability to serve as a co-signer on Igor Fruman's $1 million bond package.
Saying that Steven Fruman "could be involved" in some of the actions alleged in the criminal case, Roos said, "it seems he was trying to conceal something." The prosecutor did not elaborate.

Two other men were arrested along with Lev and Igor:
...Two other men, David Correia and Andrey Kukushkin, also face charges.
The charges include conspiracy, falsifying records and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission.

(43,189 posts)Investigating is what Congress is supposed to do Nothing in the Constitution to stop them. Also, in the Trump era, laws and rules and norms don't apply. The House can do what it likes. Anything not in the Constition is permitted by the Constitution, which will be totally defunct in a week anyway.

"And, frankly, Republicans are more obsessed with 2016 now than Democrats are because they know, they fucking know, that Trump's victory is illegitimate and they have to do everything in their power to not let that fact become viral."

But definitely keep investigating and make the findings public. House investigations.can involve whatever witnesses and documentation that are available, like tapes and videos, without issuing subpoenas. Dig and publicize. That's all that's necessary at this point. Just keep piling it on.

If Barr manages to handcuff all domestic investigators (and he'll certainly try), there will be enough information breaking from allies and even enimes offshore to keep these crooks awake at night.
The man is horrible. I just hope it doesn't take a world war to get rid of him and his successors.

When the Repuds went after Bill Clinton in the 1990s, they had the so-called Whitewater scandal, lying about Monica Lewinsky and the dubious say-so of Paula Jones. By comparison, Donnie has a Columbia Rivers worth of scandal dating before and during his occupation of the Oval Office.
