Republicans will wail and demand recusal.

At which point, garland grins and says, “that has the same legitimacy of a guy who murdered his parents pleading for mercy because he’s an orphan. “

Let’s enjoy this aspect of Garland’s case load while we can. The next appeal jurisdiction after this one is SCOTUS, so it’ll all end up there. And frankly, there are only 2 justices on SCOTUS who owe Trump even the back of their hand, and this isn’t a partisan matter but a constitutional one. So even at SCOTUS, I’m not prepared to believe the fix is in until I see what THEY say.

If I was Trump, I’d offer my taxes in exchange for every single House and Congressional members’.

Is there a law specifying that Congress SHALL provide them? Because there is for the President, you know, of the Law and Order party. It astounds me to hear Lindsay Graham telling Dumfukk Jr to ingore a Congressional summons.

FWIW I think there oughta be a law that all top-level members of the 3 branches undergo a Dept-of-State-level BG check including finances.

Actually, per the statute, Congress can ask for and examine anyone’s taxes.

Didn’t the Treasury decline, and basically say “fuck you”?

So if the Treasury declines, then the law suddenly goes away?

Does Boro know that all cabinet level officers in the executive branch can be impeached by the House for contempt? Or that they can also be prosecuted by Justice?
