Phoniest DC Power Couple Ever: In Office for Name, Fame, and Fortune — Piles of Green Stuff

The Mueller spotlight gains GOPer concerns too

(on this DC power couple)

NY TIMES pretty startling report here in part:

WASHINGTON — When two Republican members of Congress began formally questioning last week Ivanka Trump’s use of private email for government business, it was seen by people close to the White House as a sign of things to come for the president’s family.

One of the Republicans was Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and which has conducted little oversight of the Trump White House until now. 

The other Republican is Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) chairman of the House Oversight Committee and who previously led a two-year investigation into events surrounding the attack on American diplomatic outposts in Benghazi, Libya, focusing relentlessly on the role of Hillary Clinton. His most prominent investigation as chairman has scrutinized alleged anti-Trump political bias within the FBI during its inquiries related to the 2016 presidential campaign. 

From former Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA) who was the chairman of the Oversight Committee from 2003 through 2006 this observation: “That you now have Republicans investigating members of the first family is an indication of the perils ahead for the Trumps.”

My 2 Cents: Here is an observation that I totally agree with and have said myself a thousand times from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who also sits on two of the House key investigative panels: “Politically speaking, this is the Achilles’ heel of the administration. They have turned the government of the United States into a moneymaking operation for the president and his family and close friends. That is the exact opposite of our constitutional design.” 

Trump’s team I am sure is a nervous wreck… Watch him lash out without mercy if things get closer to him from them – then watch him turn on the two Kushners (Ivanka and Jared) this view is based on Trump’s track record for backstabbing anyone who crosses him.

Wait and see. 

Thanks for stopping by.
