Don’t worry bout me, I’m just funking around for fun. The Mueller report which was two years in the making has been handed over to the Attorney General (AG) of the United States. He is now required to make a report to Congress. The report can be a summary or he can redact sensitive portions and let Congress view the rest. Although the AG said the report can be released as early as this weekend, it is now known the report will not be released today. Almost two years ago the Special Prosecutor Mueller was appointed to see if there was Russian collusion in the 2016 Presidential race. After the firing of former FBI director, James Comey, an additional investigation was made to determine if the President was guilty of obstruction of justice.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people. That group is composed of six former Trump advisers. Seven of these people, including five of the six former Trump advisers have pleaded guilty. Five former Trump advisers have been convicted and one is awaiting trial. As best as I can figure, there are about twenty two Congressional committee investigations. Here is a summary of what the committees are planning to begin investigating.
Committee: House Intelligence
Russia inquiry — Wants the phone records of the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to find out whom he called while arranging a June 2016 meeting between a Russian lawyer and members of the Trump campaign.
Russia inquiry — Wants financial records relating to Trump’s sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008, as well as information on loans from Deutsche Bank to the Trump Organization.
Committee: Financial Services
Russia inquiry — Along with the Intelligence Committee, plans to seek financial records relating to hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from Deutsche Bank to the Trump Organization. The bank was accused in an unrelated case of laundering Russian money.
This committee is run by Auntie Maxie. ( Maxine Waters). Remember a few months back when Trump’s Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders was out at a restaurant and was called out for her lying to the American people every day and they asked her to leave? The President didn’t like it and said, “The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside! “
Well it was Maxine Waters at during a speech in Los Angeles who said,
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” She was all over that mess like a ten dollar table cloth on a two dollar bench. That’s when the President threatened her, ” Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!” It’s been on ever since. Auntie Maxi has had Secret Service with her from that day on.
Committee: Foreign Affairs
Trump — Engel says his first act as chairman will be to create a new subcommittee devoted entirely to investigating President Trump. “They want it all… They want it now…” (in my Grubhub voice.)
Russia inquiry — Wants to find out what Trump said to Russian President Vladimir Putin during their private meeting last summer in Helsinki, Finland.
Russia inquiry — Plans to look at how Trump’s foreign business deals have impacted the Trump administration’s foreign policy, a similar line of inquiry to the Intelligence Committee and House Financial Services Committee.
North Korea — Wants to investigate Trump’s relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Saudi Arabia — Will look into the killing of the Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Trump family’s ties with the Saudi crown prince.
Syria — Wants answers as to why Trump abruptly announced in December the withdrawal of 2,000 U.S. forces from Syria, an action that led to the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.
Committee: House Judiciary
Russia inquiry —Nadler (Chairman) says he will wait for special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to conclude before considering any possible impeachment inquiry over the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
Immigration policies — Will investigate the recent deaths of two migrant children held in U.S. custody.
Justice Department — Wants to subpoena acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker on his involvement in Trump’s decision to fire former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Trump payments — Will look into Trump’s involvement in payments before the election to two women who claim to have had affairs with Trump, a possible campaign finance violation.
Committee: Ways and Means
Trump taxes — Will seek to build a public case for why Trump’s tax returns should become public, and could later lodge a formal request for the returns to be released to the committee.
Committee: Oversight and Reform
This committee is chaired by “Get Those Documents Or Get Those Subpoenas,” Brother Elijah Cummings.
Ivanka Trump — Will investigate the use by the president’s daughter of a private email account for government business.
2020 Census — Wants to look into Democratic allegations that the Trump administration is manipulating the 2020 Census for political gain.
Hurricanes — Plans to look at how the Trump administration responded to hurricanes Irma and Maria, which hit Caribbean islands and Puerto Rico in 2017.
Cabinet officials — Will look into Cabinet officials’ use of government jets for personal travels, as well as alleged misconduct by former Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt.
Flint water crisis — Will investigate the Trump administration’s response to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, in which a change in the water treatment caused water pipes to leach lead into the drinking supply.
So its not over till it over. They are probing every facet of the President life and although he has declared victory in the Mueller probe, he’s far from telling his mother he’s alright.
