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.

1. Well, that happens when the WH is full of traitors and criminals

[bluestarone]

2. As they should be

We should put our shovel down and use Drag line!! LOT'S of dirt to dig!!

[brewens]

3. Ya think? If Trump would at least slow down the lawbreaking might make a difference. n/t

[Demovictory9]

8. lol

[CottonBear]

9. Nah. He's committed so many crimes already

There’s no shortage of crimes for Congress to impeach MF45.

Keep on impeaching!

[mopinko]

71. ya know, i hope chuck schumer takes that turtle by the lapels, and rattles off all the other

grounds for impeachment stacked up in the house like the planes coming into runway #1 on friday night at ohare.
if the senate isnt gonna pass any laws, they might just as well keep themselves busy w investigations.

how many times you wanna play this mitch?

[Grokenstein]

17. He never learned to stop himself.

And that will ultimately end him.

[elleng]

4. Good, LET them worry!

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

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.

[flying rabbit]

41. Spot on.

[calimary]

60. Yep.

[dewsgirl]

5. ...🤞🤞🤞

[avebury]

6. Has anyone told Trump that there is no Constitutional limitations

on the number of times a President could be impeached. He might become the first President to be impeached 2 or more times.

[DanieRains]

25. Find Slam Dunk Emoluments Crime

Quid pro quo.

Must be 50 cases of rooms for legislation.

[Lindsay]

7. Perhaps he should consider

stopping all the grifting and criming.

Yeah, right, like that's gonna happen.

[Bleacher Creature]

10. File this one under "no shit." NT

[Leghorn21]

11. GOOD. And remember, Igor's liddle brother and two other men are also tied up in this conspiracy:

November 1, 2019

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.

WORRY AWAY MOTHERFUCKERS, WE’RE JUST GETTIN STARTED

[Raven123]

12. No digging required. Just seeping through the walls of of the White House

[C_U_L8R]

13. Republicans should be plenty worried as well

If they acquit this crook and more evidence surfaces, they're fucked.

[Leith]

14. Scrooem

If they could "investigate" Benghazi 8 fucking times, finding nothing every time, they can sit through a few real investigations.

[dalton99a]

15. House Democrats must continue their investigations.

[Mr.Bill]

16. They don't need to dig anything up.

The evidence is falling out of the sky.

[rurallib]

18. I want to see some financial records

from 40 years ago up to today and all the campaign financial info.

While he's president or long after.

The country needs to see those documents to begin to understand the corruption that is and has been going on.

[safeinOhio]

19. With all of the respect he shows House leaders

they need to show him some too.

[2naSalit]

20. I expect nothing less....nt

[BlueIdaho]

21. People who play by the rules don't have these worries.

I encourage House Democrats to keep digging.

[Talitha]

22. "reportedly worried" - - Suck it up buttercup, this is just the beginning.

"..and they worry it could jeopardize the president's re-election prospects."


No shit, Sherlock!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

23. Investigate, impeach, repeat...

Investigate, impeach, repeat... Investigate, impeach, repeat.... Investigate, impeach, repeat

[empedocles]

31. Yep

[Demovictory9]

58. yep

[spanone]

24. duh. do they think they will just give up? not with that criminal in office.

[dobleremolque]

26. Impeach him again! Impeach him again! Harder! Harder! n/t

[Turbineguy]

27. It's one of the reasons

many people are not criminals.

[LakeArenal]

28. Cuz there's a mother lode!!

[Stallion]

36. ....and that's just from the Ukraine

...I'm sure Trump has crooked deals in a myriad of countries

[Kurt V.]

29. Maybe the WH is but trump isn't. therein is the story

[Takket]

30. what are they worried about? that he might be remvoed from office? LOL

i mean... come on!!!!!!!!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. Maybe the should have thought of that before doing illegal and or unethical things

[BumRushDaShow]

33. There were 6 Committees that were working on the Impeachment inquiry

and they selected the Ukraine thing to go with using the Intelligence Committee as lead, which would then submit to the Judiciary Committee... But those other 4 Committees are still investigating - including Oversight, Financial Services, Ways & Means, and Foreign Affairs.

[NotASurfer]

34. Is Dear Leader implying here

that the information we have already, by comparison, is only modestly damning? What we don't know is worse than what we know?

[bucolic_frolic]

35. Trump, Big Bible Man, is reaping what he sewed

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.

[Fla Dem]

37. He's not helping his situation when he insults the Democrats with his

childish tweets.

[OAITW r.2.0]

38. That is a given.

He can't change the spots....just more people willing to show his dark spots. There is a lot of them.

[ChazInAz]

39. I thought that was the plan.

Non-stop impeachments, one right after the other, each on different charges.
Keep going until the fidesz strokes out, quits in a rage or winds up kicked out of office.

[PatrickforO]

40. Well...OF COURSE more evidence will be 'dug up.' Trump is

crooked as a corkscrew.

[Rebl2]

42. Well I

say the W.H. Can count on that happening!

[GoCubsGo]

43. So, basically, they're admitting that there's even wrongdoing that they're hiding.

Otherwise, there would be no need them to worry about any future investigations.

[Demovictory9]

45. They know he is corrupt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. If they are worried, it is because there is more to be dug up. . . . nt

[George II]

46. That's what they are and will continue to do. This Lev Parnas is a treasure trove of "dirt"....

....on trump.

Pelosi and gang know what they're doing - when this fails next week they'll come up with new charges, and keep them coming until the republican Senators cave.

[liberal N proud]

47. There is so much

The republicans know this information exists, they are just too corrupt to care

[Hekate]

48. They certainly should be. I don't know how they sleep at night in the first place.

[dflprincess]

49. It doesn't take all that much digging

just wait for him to tweet something damning.

[salin]

50. Maybe they should worry about the ongoing criminal/abuse of powers acts Trump keeps committing...

that can be dug up and exposed. And the extreme damage being caused by those acts?

Rhetorical question.

[John Fante]

51. The Repukes don't care that more incriminating dirt exists.

Only that it will be dug up.

They are the anti-patriotic party.

[iluvtennis]

52. As they should. Keep the heat on his a** until Nov 2020 when he's out. nt

[tavernier]

53. They don't have to investigate

They just have to trip over it!

This guy leaves shit piles around bigger than circus elephants.

[gordianot]

56. Not fair to elephant shit piles.

They make the best fertilizer on Earth. Anything produced by Trump has no real purpose.

[Botany]

54. We need to see the full Muller report.

The Rude Pundit has summed it all up very nicely.


"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."

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212904164

[Wounded Bear]

55. Why in the hell would they stop?

[wnylib]

57. It's not even necessary to go through impeachment

hearings again, and might not be advisable. The public might brush that off or react against it.

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.

[Beartracks]

59. NOT worried about crimes; rather, that the crimes will be discovered.

That's Republicans for ya.

[live love laugh]

61. Oh please please please 🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[UCmeNdc]

62. Kick

[Warpy]

63. Well, duh, of course they will

and they won't even have to break a sweat to do it. This dumpster fire of a presidency has managed to piss off too many people for it to stop. 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.

[greyl]

64. Consciousness of guilt.

65. If the sun rises each and every day

there will be new examples of criminal behavior, each and every day. His presence on the planet is pestilence.

[SayItLoud]

66. Criminals rarely if ever get arrested

for their first and only offense. tRUMP is a life long criminal. IMO the Kompromat Putin has in addition to $ laundering and financial crimes includes *men in cement shoes*. tRUMP has worked with the MOB in NYC, Miami, and Moscow. When someone gets in their way (which is the way to $$$); they are *taken out* *gotten rid of*. Sound familiar?

[Texin]

67. If they're "worrying about it", it means they know it's there for investigators to uncover.

[kentuck]

68. Is this another attempt to immunize themselves from embarrassing revelations?

And whatever shocking story that might come out is just another sham or witch hunt?

That way, they are never accountable for anything.

[Progressive dog]

69. They should be worried

and so should their co-conspirators.

[Hortensis]

70. They should worry more about investigative journalism.

They were tragically remiss before Trump was elected, but in spite of the embedded corruption that was part of that, the media machine is engaged now.

[Karma13612]

72. Well then,

Maybe Team Trump should stop making huge stupid criminal “mistakes”.

Maybe they should put their nose to the grindstone and actually govern.

Nahhh, they don’t know how.

[NCjack]

73. Trump is double-downing. DEMs should also. nt

[MrScorpio]

74. He can always resign

[PandoraAwakened]

75. K&R! n/t

[Turbineguy]

76. Could they be more specific?

Maybe Mr. Trump would like to make some more revealing Tweets?

[Vogon_Glory]

77. The problem for Donnie is that it won't just be about the Ukraine

I don’t doubt that there will be barrels of stuff equally as d**ning from elsewhere in the world that will bubble up between now and November.

When the Repuds went after Bill Clinton in the 1990’s, 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 River’s worth of scandal dating before and during his occupation of the Oval Office.
