Democrats—and some Republicans—suspect that the Trump administration is using shutdown-related delays as excuses to get out of providing documents and records to Democrats launching investigations on various House committees.


According to a Tuesday Politico report, Democrats are quickly tiring of the administration’s general lack of preparation to respond to oversight after two years of protection from a Republican congress.

“We are concerned that the administration is using the shutdown as an excuse to slow roll their responses to our reasonable requests,” a Democratic staffer told Politico. “Congress’ oversight role is crystal clear. Just because the administration is not used to rigorous oversight does not excuse not being prepared for it, even after a shutdown.”

The House Oversight Committee in particular has requested information about payments Trump made to Michael Cohen and about security clearances at the White House—both requests are still unfulfilled.

5. Yes, but I fear it will take too many more mornings before that happens.

AND, will our country be recognizable or even salvageable by then?
