Dems sink teeth into Trump

Democrats are sinking their teeth into the Trump administration, using their control of the House to barrage the White House with inquiries into the president and his associates.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) is leading the charge. On Monday, he announced he was requesting documents pertaining to 81 people or entities. Among those in his panel’s sights are President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, his son Donald Trump Jr., Vice President Pence and a host of others.

Many Democrats outside Congress welcome the moves, which they see as a vital effort to hold the administration to account.

“They have a duty and responsibility to provide oversight — something that has been missing from Congress for the past two years,” said Democratic strategist Tad Devine.

I imagine that tastes pretty awful though Lindsey Graham may be to differ.

Fuck the Hill.

It's oversight - enforcement of checks and balances which have been missing for two years

House Democrats are, once again, cleaning up a huge mess left by the Republicans. They're not sinking their teeth into anyone or anything; they're doing the job they're supposed to do, which Republicans neglected or refused to do for two years.
