Oversight and checks and balances are now PH. Oh and he wants to know why Obama wasn't investigated. For what MF?
ReTHUGs went after Hillary for Benghazi how many times?
If you did nothing criminal, there is nothing to worry about here.

Trump slams 'Unlimited Presidential Harassment' from Democrats
President Trump on Thursday complained that House Democrats are waging a never-ending harassment campaign against him, far beyond what Republicans did to President Obama.
"So now Congressman Adam Schiff announces, after having found zero Russian Collusion, that he is going to be looking at every aspect of my life, both financial and personal, even though there is no reason to be doing so," Trump tweeted. "Never happened before! Unlimited Presidential Harassment...."
Trump said Democrats are "going nuts," and are continuing their "witch hunt" against him.
"The Republicans never did this to President Obama, there would be no time left to run government," he wrote. "I hear other committee heads will do the same thing. Even stealing people who work at White House! A continuation of Witch Hunt!"

(1,584 posts)I love how he uses it to make himself the victim. I expect we'll be hearing that gem a lot in the near future. Yesterday it was "presidential harassment", but this morning he embellished it bit - "unlimited presidential harassment". What a clever, clever boy he is and he knows such great words, so great in fact, he feels he has to capitalize them or put them in quotes.

(17,276 posts)How long will that last? Once they see he's not going to do what he says--and is not able to do it--I predict there will be a mass exodus. Sure there will still be some hangers on, but there are going to be some who wake up.

(46,794 posts)Also, a lot are discovering that they aren't getting a break on their taxes and probably will be paying more. For most of them, there is a final straw and Trump is likely to eventually provide it.
So far Trump really hasn't done anything he promised he would do. He just keeps running his mouth as if he did. His base might be gullible, but most are not THAT stupid.

(32,529 posts)How many years? They what does he call his years of attacking Obama on his Birth Certificate?
Republicans investigated Socks the Cat when Bill Clinton was president. And, we had a good half dozen investigations into the death of Vince Foster as well - the Benghazi of the 90s.

(6,518 posts)Those things weren't happening to the orange egomaniac. When they happen to others, meh! When deserved investigations happen to him, it is harassment.

(779 posts)Now I just thought of what he reminds me of, in grade school when a child is reading out loud to a class,
and the way he does his hand movement reminds me of a school kid that is trying to get it right!

(267,808 posts)This is completely different from the fake outrage linked to Benghazi - that was a witch hunt.

(7,142 posts)I'm still waiting for his investigators to get back from Hawaii so we all can see what we will not believe they are finding out about his birth certificates.
When are they issuing their report MF45?
and he was not constitutionally responsible for oversight, checks or balances.
That was racism on steroids.
MyOwnPeace
(16,887 posts)didn't CRIMINAL SHERIFF JOE (oops, I forgot, he was pardoned! ) send some deputies to investigate also (why the hell a county sheriff has ANY need to know about such material totally escapes me. And what county official signed off on that expense account?).

(42,696 posts)It's just that with Trump there are so many opportunities. So many
things in his not too distant past that should be investigated.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)It doesn't exist. We don't have to make Trump's delusions our reality. There is no such thing as presidential harassment, no matter how many times Trump urps up that Luntztalk phrase.
malaise
(267,808 posts)pellucidly clear. It is absolute bullshit - the talk of a dictator.

(56,827 posts)when Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were presidenting.
Vince Foster - at least half a dozen investigations. All NothingBerders
Socks the Cat - NothingBerder
Whitewater - no ties to the Clintons
The entire Birther conspiracy - nothingberders
Benghazi - 8 or 9 Nothingberders
malaise
(267,808 posts)but it's worse than that - the Con himself (with no investigative power) set out to prove that President Obama was not American and the media went along for the ride.

The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)Seems pretty simple to me. But to an idiot that has apparently never had to face the music for his lifetime of shenanigans, it must be difficult to understand. Don't like the good guys breathing down your neck? Don't work with Russia to steal an election. Don't use the office of President of the United States to enrich yourself. In fact, don't do ANY of the things you normally do, because everything you do is shady.
