"SNIP....


“The Trump administration disclosed on Friday that there were 20 emails between a top aide to President Trump’s acting chief of staff and a colleague at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget discussing the freeze of a congressionally mandated military aid package for Ukraine,” the New York Times reports.

“But in response to a court order that it swiftly process those pages in response to a Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, lawsuit filed by The New York Times, the Office of Management and Budget delivered a terse letter saying it would not turn over any of the 40 pages of emails — not even with redactions.”

1. So, they just said no to the courts? Wow.

5. That's not going fly, on just about any circuit.

3. I'm hoping Moscow Mitch's boasting has made them overconfident.

This really makes them look guilty as homemade sin.

Republicans, of course, have always wanted a stronger executive branch with less Congressional or USSC (for that matter) oversight. They're hoping to force this to the USSC, where they think they'll get a rubber stamp for dictatorship.

4. They are going to DELAY, DELAY, DELAY

until the cows come home. It is their only strategy, besides starting a war that is.

6. An Pelosi can delay

as the evidence stacks up.

7. Trump Admin to Judicial Branch: "... F CK OFF!!! ..." I've been saying this for years they don't

9. Obviously, the e-mails are chock full of proof of shitler's innocence.

You can tell how innocent he is, by how he's always keeping Americans from seeing the public documents they own, which document the work he's doing on our behalf. He's always keeping us from seeing all documents about everything he's doing and has ever done.

Witchhunt!

10. Criminals....one and all.

11. Print media is doing some great investigating.

Cable has that one guy overseas?
