GOP accuses dems of "abuse of power." in potus tax argument: Irony is dead.

[lindysalsagal]

Congressional Republicans and Trump’s personal attorney, William S. Consovoy, have argued Democrats’ request risks weaponizing the IRS for partisan political gain, with Consovoy calling it a “gross abuse of power.” Mnuchin’s letter earlier this week said Neal’s request “raises serious issues concerning the constitutional scope of congressional investigative authority.”

Honestly. They're real, real, real, real worried about abuse of power!~

1. Yes, abuse of power.

400 filibusters was not, of course, an abuse of power.

Systematic voter suppression is also, of course, not an abuse of power.

3. Nor is the abuse of oversight power of Congress an abuse of power (but only a GOP congress..)

When we investigate or oversight anything, or ask 3 hours of questions of someone possibly guilty of obstruction of justice at the president's demand, that's just us hating America, as we all know we sooooo do.

But when they grill Hillary for 11 fucking hours, and still don't find do much as a fingernail clipping on the floor, well that's just exactly what oversight is for, doncha know..

6. And after the inquisition of HRC,

she humiliated them and exposed them as the light weights that they are.

2. Typical projection

and inversion of reality

4. Sorry guys, that was already litigated in the 2018 election

The American people knew the Dems would go after Trump's tax return and they voted for them anyway.

Fuck off, and take your blatant projection bullshit, and shove it up your corrupt asses.
