PHONY POPULIST SWAMP KEEPER TRUMP
Companies say they often pay good
wages to their imported H-2B workers, often around $15 per hour. But that price
is below the wages sought by Americans for the seasonal work which leaves them
jobless in the off-season. The lower wages paid to H-2Bs also allows companies
to pay lower wages to their American supervisors. NEIL MUNRO
President Trump Sues to Block Democrats’ Subpoena for Financial Records
President Donald Trump’s lawyers filed a lawsuit on April 22, seeking to block a subpoena issued by members of Congress that sought Trump’s financial information.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Peter Kenny, chief investigative counsel of the committee, were named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which was obtained and published online (pdf).
“We will not allow Congressional Presidential harassment to go unanswered,” Jay Sekulow, counsel to the president, said in a statement sent to news outlets.
Cummings said earlier this month that his committee was going to subpoena Mazars USA, an accounting firm, to obtain some of Trump’s financial information and issued a subpoena soon after, seeking financial statements from 2011 through 2018 related to Trump, his real estate company, and his foundation.
Cummings cited testimony by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who was convicted of lying to federal authorities. Cohen claimed in February that Trump inflated or deflated the value of his assets, depending on what would benefit him at the time.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Cummings and his committee sought documents from Mazars on a voluntary basis, but was told by an attorney for the company in March that it couldn’t turn over any documents without a subpoena.
In the suit, Trump’s attorneys wrote: “The Democrat Party, with its newfound control of the U.S. House of Representatives, has declared all-out political war against President Donald J. Trump. Subpoenas are their weapon of choice.”
“Instead of working with the President to pass bipartisan legislation that would actually benefit Americans, House Democrats are singularly obsessed with finding something they can use to damage the President politically,” the suit added.
Citing Cummings saying he could investigative “any matter at any time,” Trump’s representatives said that the chairman is overstepping the constitutional limits on Congress’s power to investigative and says the subpoena of Mazars “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose” and would expose confidential information.
“Its goal is to expose Plaintiffs’ private financial information for the sake of exposure with the hope that it will turn up something that Democrats can use as a political tool against the President now and in the 2020 election,” the lawyers wrote in the suit.
“The committee’s attempt to obtain years’ worth of confidential information from their accountants lacks any legitimate legislative purpose, is an abuse of power, and is just another example of overreach by the president’s political opponents. We look forward to vindicating our clients’ rights in this matter,” William Consovoy and Stefan Passantino, who are representing Trump in the suit, added in a statement.
Cummings has not reacted to the suit.
Democrats have struggled to recover in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. Mueller wrote that his team couldn’t establish cooperation or conspiracy between any member of Trump’s campaign and Russians, contrary to what Democrats and a number of media outlets alleged for years. Mueller attempted to build a case of obstruction against the president but ultimately concluded there wasn’t enough evidence for that, either.
Refusing to back down from incendiary claims, Cummings and other leading Democrats haven’t taken trying to impeach Trump off the table.
Cummings said during an appearance on CNN on April 19 that Mueller’s yearslong investigation wasn’t thorough enough and that Congress would need to probe Trump’s alleged obstruction efforts further.
“We’ve got to continue our investigations,” Cummings said.

Two House committees have issued subpoenas for information from Deutsche Bank and other financial institutions as part an ongoing investigations into President Trump's finances.
The move is the latest sign that Democrats will continue to seek information on potential criminal activity by Trump and his business associates well after the expected release Thursday of the redacted report by special counsel Robert Mueller about Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The subpoenas were issued as part of a joint investigation led by the House Financial Services and Intelligence Committees into foreign influence on the U.S. political process.
Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters, D-Calif., says the use of the financial system for potentially illicit purposes is a serious matter and the investigation is necessary under the committee's oversight authority.
Waters said the committee plans to investigate "as thoroughly as possible pursuant to its oversight authority and will follow the facts wherever they may lead us," Waters said.
The subpoenas are part of a broader effort by Democrats to establish new information about Trump's financial dealings. A separate probe is underway in the House Ways and Means Committee where Democrats are demanding that the Treasury Department turn over 10 years of Trump's tax returns.
Treasury lawyers have so far refused to comply and many in Trump's inner circle have publicly questioned the legitimacy of that request.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., sent a letter to Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles Rettig on Saturday refuting those questions and demanding that the tax returns be released by April 23.
Joe Scarborough: Mayor Pete Buttigieg as Exciting as Ronald Reagan
"We live in a moment that compels us each to act,” he said. “The forces changing our country are tectonic — forces that help to explain what made this current presidency even possible. That's why this time it's not just about winning an election — it's about winning an era."
PETE BUTTIGIEG
At just 37, he is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He is a military veteran and a deeply religious gay man who is married but also enjoys sandwiches from (anti-same-sex marriage) Chick-fil-A. He is a Harvard-educated Rhodes scholar who speaks eight languages. He is the first ever millennial candidate for president and, so far, the only Democratic hopeful to appear on the "Fox News Sunday" show.
The fact that he was born and bred in the American Rust Belt is possibly his biggest asset.
"Scripture tells us to look after the least among us, that it also counsels humility and teaches us about what's bigger than ourselves," said Buttigieg, a devout Episcopalian. "It points the way toward an inclusive and unselfish politics that I strive to practice, whether I'm talking about my faith on the stump or not."
Brooks: Trump Represents a ‘Moral and Spiritual Crisis’ in America
1:16
Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued President Donald Trump “grows out of a moral and spiritual crisis” in America.
Brooks said, “Just think about the interview we just saw with Rachel Maddow and Pete Buttigieg. There’s a guy with fundamental decency. I met him like months ago before I knew he was running for president, I was seated next to him at a dinner, and there was just a basic humility and deference. And you look at Donald Trump, and you look at a man who is about ego, who is about—worships career success, financial success. A man who I think somewhere was not loved and shelled himself off and is incapable of receiving or giving love.”
He added, “I think we should be prepared for how much the country will want to take a reset after the Trump presidency or even when they make the decision about 2020. They are going to want not only policy changes, a lot of people, but a moral cleansing. And to me, Trump grows out of a moral and spiritual crisis in the country, and the answer is a moral and spiritual response.”
