Probe Launched Into Trump Voter Fraud Panel
Source: NBC News
A federal watchdog agency will investigate President Donald Trumps Election Integrity Commission, it was announced Thursday.
The Government Accountability Office plans to probe the voter fraud panel's funding, internal operations and how it is protecting and sorting the tens of millions of sensitive voter files the commission has collected.
The announcement comes after three Democratic senators Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Michael Bennet of Colorado and Cory Booker of New Jersey sent a letter last week urging the agency to investigate the commission, saying it had ignored several requests from Congress aimed at understanding its work. The senators said the panel's creation and operations were "cause for serious concern.
The senators wrote that they fear the way the commission is conducting its work will "prevent the public from full and transparent understanding of the commissions conclusions and unnecessarily diminish confidence in our democratic process."

Anyone who likes boxing and know who Marvelous Marvin Hagler is...he fought a tough fighter who had never lost a fight and most he had won by KO, his name is John Mugabi, incredibly fit fighter...Hagler, from the opening round worked on Mugabi's body, he pounded him over and over on his body, then Mugabi's legs started to give in, and that is when Hagler went for the KO.
That is the same strategy subtle dictators use to gain full power, they hit the body, make the opposition go in many different directions, waste time, money and little by little make them desperate and eventually weak, then they go for the KO. That is what Chavez did and see where Venezuela is right now.
Do not dismiss Trump, he is working his part while his co-actors do the evil behind the scene, making the Democrats run in different directions to find the details of the corrupt actions the Trump administration is doing every day.
Vote in 2018, do everything you can to get rid of these horrible people. I really hope that Ryan and McConnell loose their sits, just to see Ryan's smirk turns my stomach around, Ryan is NOT a good human being.
