'Toontime: Blowback

credit: Bish

Latest: A three judge panel of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit handed a victory to the regime stonewalling Congressional subpoenas.  In the McGhan case, the panel ruled 2-1 that federal courts cannot interfere in "political disputes" between the Executive and Legislative branches by judicial enforcement of congressional subpoenas.  The ruling is a severe blow to congressional oversight authority, and of dubious validity according to many constitutional scholars.  Paradoxically the Repugnants in the Senate trial were arguing that the House investigators should have tried to enforce their subpoenas  in court before charging King Orange with obstruction,.  The two judges who ruled in favor of the regime are Repugnant appointees.  The decision is likely to be appealed to the full Court of Appeals by the House, and then to the Supreme Court.  This ruling highlights the corruption at the heart of the GOP.

The House Judiciary Committee requested interviews of the four career prosecutors who quit the Roger Stone case after the demented Douche directly involved himself in the sentencing process.  Stone was convicted on seven felony counts including lying to Congress; his prosecutors recommended to the presiding judge that he serve nine years incarceration. Judge Amy Jackson sentenced Stone to forty months, saying "the truth still matters".  Speculation is rampant in the Swamp that Trumpilini will pardon his favorite political operative, as he seeks to undo the consequences of the Mueller investigation.

Chairman Nadler not only wants to talk to the Stone prosecutors, but also a long list of Justice Department officials who oversaw cases dealing with associates of 'King Orange, the Antichrist', such as Jeff Jensen, selected by AG Barr to review the conviction of former national security advisor Michael Flynn. He also wants to talk to Justice attorney Jessie Liu who oversaw the Stone prosecution. Chairman Nadler set a deadline for response of March 13th.  Barr himself is supposed to appear before the Committee on March 31st.  He is unlikely to comply with the Committee's requests, nor are any earthshaking developments expected to come from the continuing inter-branch standoff.
