18. "Non Angli sed angeli," although

there's a certainappropriateness in calling Republicans "angles," since they "know all the angles" and "work all the angles."

[calimary]

20. "...and has spoken through his angles."

PRICELESS!!!

DAYUM you're good, multigraincracker!

21. Just like Angy Griffith used to say about his Ritz.

"Gooooood cracker."

5. K & R...nt

7. St. Ronnie would be considered....

a liberal snowflake compared to the vicious, vacuous republiCONS of today.

I don't think today's SCOTUS would give St. Ronnie's retirees too much credence.

10. Isn't blocking an investigation illegal?

[thesquanderer]

11. There can be legal and illegal ways to impede an investigation...

...and there should be. Because government CAN over-reach, and if they are doing something that shouldn't be allowed to do, you should be able to stop them. So then it can be up to a court to decide whether something is or is not acceptable.

But I hate these meme posts with no reference to where you can learn the details of what they're talking about. That whole approach is one reason facebook and twitter are filled with so much misinformation.

[crickets]

14. I agree - a news source should be included.

It's laziness on the part of Occupy Democrats not to include one.

A group of former executive branch lawyers on Wednesday urged the Supreme Court to reject an effort by former President Trump to hamper the House committee investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

The group of legal heavyweights, comprising a half dozen former White House and top Justice Department lawyers who served under Republican presidents, argued in an amicus brief that Trump's assertion of executive privilege over his administration's records is outweighed by congressional investigators' pursuit of the facts surrounding the Trump-inspired insurrection.

"Congress is now investigating those events and determining how to prevent unsuccessful candidates from attempting to undermine our democracy in the future," they wrote. "Amici believe that the documents at issue should be turned over given, among other things, the importance of the House investigation into the January 6th attack and the current president's reasonable determination that executive privilege should not be asserted in this case."

The former government attorneys also pushed back against Trump's claim that congressional investigators lack a legitimate legislative purpose for requesting his administration's records.

15. Think of the levels involved

The same group that had no problem working with traitors who sent Baker with a satchel full of cash to give to Iranians to hold onto hostages until after the inauguration, say tRump went too far.


That's seriously corrupt.
