In an Ultrafast Decision, An Obama Judge Immediately Rules That Trump May Not Block Congressional Harassment Efforts to Dig Into His Taxpayer Records

Congress has no authority -- none-- to conduct a criminal investigation.

That's an Executive branch function.

But even assuming that Congress may exercise its pretend "oversight" function and it needs Trump's tax records to do that -- how the hell can it demand his private taxpayer records when he was a private individual with no connection to the US government?

That's what they did -- they demanded his last eight years of tax records.

He's only been a president for two, and he was only running for president since June of 2015 or so.

So now the Congressional Democrats can just demand private citizen tax records when they want to conduct a lawless vigilante invasion of privacy?

Indeed, says another Obama appointee -- in record time, as Mark Levin pointed out.

A federal judge on Monday upheld a congressional subpoena seeking President Donald Trump’s financial records from an accounting firm, arguing that Congress is well within its rights to investigate potential illegal behavior by a president -- even without launching a formal impeachment inquiry.

U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta's ruling delivers a striking blow to the president's efforts to resist Democratic investigations, and is certain to give Democrats further legal basis to investigate Trump, his finances, and his presidential campaign.

In addition to upholding the House Oversight and Reform Committee’s subpoena to accounting firm Mazars USA for eight years of Trump's financial records, Mehta took the extra step of denying the president's request for a stay pending appeal.

In other words, he took the decision out of the hands of the Appeals Court by saying that the firm must turn over the records before the appeals court has had a chance to check his ruling.

Jay Sekulow, one of the president's personal attorneys, said: "We will be filing a timely notice of appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals."

But unless the Circuit Court issues its own emergency stay, then this appeal will be moot -- this Obama judge has rigged the game to get the records to Democrats before the appeal.

Meanwhile, Trump has directed his former WH counsel Don McGahn to ignore the Democrat congressional subpeona.

"The Department of Justice has provided a legal opinion stating that, based on long-standing, bipartisan, and Constitutional precedent, the former Counsel to the President cannot be forced to give such testimony, and Mr. McGahn has been directed to act accordingly," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement sent to reporters.



The White House letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler was signed by Pat Cipollone, the current counsel to the president, citing the Justice Department’s advice based on executive privilege.

The DOJ's own Office of Legal Counsel wrote a memo declaring this to be their understanding of constitutional law.

In an opinion released Monday, the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel ruled that former White House counsel Donald McGahn is "not legally required" to testify to Congress on matters related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

"The immunity of the President’s immediate advisors from compelled congressional testimony on matters related to their official responsibilities has long been recognized and arises from the fundamental workings of the separation of powers," the opinion stated.

34 Interesting. This isn't really a fishing expedition-I'm sure Trump is audited regularly, so everything is likely clean. It's an attempt to find and publish/leak something embarrassing (ala the recent NY Times smear about his late 80s-early 90s losses). So, the court essentially finds that Congress's "oversight" role includes what essentially boils down to conducting government funded oppo research. I wonder how they'll feel about this when things change.

Stare Decisis said no, Gorsuch looked at the case and said yes.

168 Congress has no authority -- none-- to conduct a criminal investigation.

I'm pretty sure everybody's noticed by now, but Progressive Democrats do not observe any laws anymore. They just do whatever it is they feel like doing. They never ask themselves "Hmm, I wonder if that's legal?"

They Just Do It. Maybe we should start calling them the Nike Party. In so doing, they seek to make PDT look like some sort of big meany for saying "No."



Of course, their actions are the results of them believing in Postmodernism, where there are no rules (which is itself a rule, but they never get called out on that). This belief is incompatible with civilized life and everyone knows it. PoMo is anarchy, but with Progs in charge of it, which is yet another contradiction.

What they Progs are doing is immature in the extreme. Their devil-worshipping mentor, Saul Alinsky, said that the ends (being them in control) justify the means and they're just not going to abide by the rules.

Republicans need to grow a spine and start to become even more insistent that rules and the law be followed and never back down or give in. Ever. And if Prog judges try to circumvent the law, then they need to be impeached ASAP. Like, starting this afternoon. Push that hard and point to the law as the justification for the impeachment. "If this judge cannot see the law, he is unfit for the bench." Get him out right now.

Trump really needs to speechify about this. He needs to somehow light a brush fire under the SCOTUS by bringing the abuse (and the total disregard) of the Constitution to the forefront about these political operators that call themselve judges.

He should also do the same with the senate judiciary committee.

199 Every president is automatically audited. But that's not the point.

The point here is for Democrats to take aspects of the president's personal life and exploit it for political gain.

The Congress has no authority to "oversee" the Executive Branch. None. This is simply another part of Democrats attempt to deny the citizens who voted for this president, their fundamental right to a government of their choosing.

Remember, Democrats are about negative liberties. That is, to take away your freedoms and replace it with the power of the government, which they seek to permanently control, whether they are the elected leaders or not.

266 209: A district judge cannot prevent an appeal. Typically, litigants would ask the DJ for a stay of its order, pending appeal -- here the judge went ahead an denied such a stay pre-emptively.
So, now the circuit court has to issue its own emergency stay. These are typically granted, and if the DC Circuit refuses to do so, I imagine the denial of a stay will be immediately appealed to SCOTUS.

By denying the stay the DJ really made himself look like a political actor. I don't think the circuit court or SCOTUS will deny a stay.

290 @281
I'm trying to get some other work done but off the cuff I think he can still go for some kind of Temporary Restraining Order. Exactly where I'm not sure.
The problem is that to get a TRO you generally need to show "irreparable harm" and "likely success on the merits."
The latter is easy. The former would be hard/abstract, and just the harassment factor may not satisfy the standard.
And its too easy for a Judge to deny a TRO by saying you just havent proved the "irreparable harm."

I think DJT needs appeal to the American people.
Then maybe slow walk partial compliance, move for adjournments and legally grind it out until he can get it to the Supremes.
But what do I know?

320 It's become dangerous for the simple fact that they have so succeeded in making Trump toxic that no one wants to say "Enough is enough" and stand up and defend him.
They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in this which is why the only people Trump truly has in his corner--his voters--"must be held accountable."

Think about it, no ex- presidents or senior statesman, no political or social eminence has stood up to defend Trump.

The inferior courts aren't even a coequal branch with the president, they are subordinate to congress. He can just shrug at them and say "no" and there's nothing the courts can do.

Much like Prop. 8 here in California, banning same-sex marriage. By merest chance, the case went to a sphincter spelunker judge. Jerry Brown, AG at the time, unconvincingly went through the motions of defending Prop. 8, while the Reds pulled out all sorts of social "science" studies that purported to show that homosexuality was normal, healthy, desirable, even preferable.

Judge Lance then overturned Prop. 8 on the grounds that the state - i.e., Jerry Brown - had failed to produce any "scientific" evidence (as if any of that crap is scientific), and then went home to his husband.

Boy, was it lucky that a fruit judge got the case, huh? And that he didn't recuse himself on a matter that obviously and clearly was of personal interest to him.

Not possible, the Accounting firm cannot ignore the Judge, because a Judge can issue a Contempt of Court citation and have every principal member of the firm jailed until they produce, on his own authority. You can't do that to the President, but you can do that to Business owners.

Especially since the judge expressly acknowledged the documents will almost certainly be leaked and therefore any later stay would be ineffectual to remedy the harm.

ALSO the firm who will be the subject of the subpoena will NOT be turning over the documents on that day (presumably, unless they have already said they have everything ready to go) and that could buy a few days for the appellate court to act.

468 ANY requests for records from before he was elected president are an unconstitutional attempt to impose an additional requirement on qualification for the office

That said, I do think that we should have a constitutional amendment that requires all presidents to show proof of everything any average person needs to in order to get any other job. Proof of citizenship, etc. And since this is such a high risk, high security job, even greater level of transparency including, yes, tax records and school transcripts.

FOR EVERY CANDIDATE.

You'll be surrounded by a SWAT team while some bored, stoned teenager with some rudimentary coding skillz is at home in his mom's basement eating Cheetos and laughing his ass off while he's watching you on the video feed explain to the SWAT sergeant that you're not really the guy they had an APB out for.

476 THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DOES NOT OVERSEE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
___________________

"So long as Congress investigates on a subject matter on which 'legislation could be had,'" then Congress is acting within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution, the judge wrote.

The Democrats argued that the requested financial documents will help the committee strengthen ethics and disclosure laws and their penalties, as well as assist in making sure that the president does not violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

"These are facially valid legislative purposes, and it is not for the court to question whether the Committee's actions are truly motivated by political considerations," Mehta wrote.

IOW, the judge said: "I know that the committee just wants to get Trump's records so they can comb through them for something they can use to embarrass him publicly, but I don't give a shit. As long as they come up with some pretext for saying they need the records for a "legislative purpose" that's good enough for me."

487 Trump needs to tell his accountants to not produce his records until the litigation over the subpoena is resolved.

As their customer, with an accountant-client privilege that must be maintained, the accountants are bound by their professional rules to do what Trump tells them to do.

Yeah, I know, Trump apparently is the only US citizen who not only has no constitutional rights that the courts must honor, but he's the only US citizen who deserves no constitutional rights.

But, still. There us enough out of order with this judge's "Hey, Look At Me! I'm The New Deep State Hero!!" Ruling that the accountants would be nuts to turn over the documents immediately.

Let the House of Reps enforce their Subpoena. Is this judge going to order the police to raid the president's accountant's offices IMMEDIATELY?

Which is not only insanely unconstitutional but just flat out idiotic. Please, name one single subject which congress cannot write legislation about. ONE. Note, not "constitutionally or properly" but just write legislation about? Congress isn't all powerful, they may not do whatever they choose.

Their oversight is very specific and exact as defined by carefully litigated law (as in, it was taken to the supreme court). This jackwagon is just making this crap up and forcing the issue because they figure by the time its overruled and he gets slapped down by a higher court it will be too late.
