The Administration Will Fight the Communist Democrats

M Dowling

President Trump will keep fighting for this nation. He is not backing down. The incoming Oversight Chair, Robert Garcia, is on notice for his Beria-style threats. It’s not only Garcia threatening. Many Democrats have threatened the Right. This isn’t Stalinist Russia yet. We have heard constant threats of lawfare against the President and everyone in the administration and beyond. They threatened companies, law firms, and anyone who supported President Trump.

White House Counsel Will Scharf stated on Newsmax:

“What we’ve seen in the last week is this explosion by new Democrat members of Congress, by existing Democrat members of Congress. And they’re talking about subpoenas and investigations for blatantly unlawful purposes. And I thought it was very, very important that just at the outset we set the tone.”

“Congressman Garcia saying that he was motivated by his own pettiness to bring subpoenas and investigate this administration is just so wildly inappropriate that I felt like it called for a vigorous response.”

Eric Daugherty X Post:

He ended his letter to Rep. Garcia:

“Beyond being inconsistent with the clear, well-recognized constitutional limitations on your investigative functions, threats to executive branch officials designed to deter them from public service, or process designed merely to abuse or instill fear in the recipient may cross the line into blatant criminality, and issuing unlawful subpoenas with the intention of depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges may warrant further investigation.

“The Trump Administration expects members of Congress to discharge their investigative functions within settled constitutional limits. The Administration will not be extorted or cowed by unlawful process motivated by animus, pettiness, hatred, or any other unlawful motive to intimidate, penalize, or interfere with the lawful functioning of government.”

Lawfare Must End for All Our Sakes

Garcia responded in a letter, “Congress has wide latitude to conduct investigations and oversight, an authority inherent in the power to legislate. We are a co-equal branch of government and will not be deterred by baseless threats from a weaponized DOJ or from the President’s lawyers.”

Scharf referenced the 2020 Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP, which held, 7-2, that a subpoena issued by Congress must relate to and further a legitimate legislative task, not law enforcement, because the executive branch has prosecutorial powers, not Congress.

Congress cannot act without a predicate and abuse its powers as it has in the past. The President has learned. He must protect himself from overreach, or all of us will be in jeopardy. If they can take a President down without consequence, they can do it to all of us.

This lawfare will be worse than anything we’ve ever seen. They have come this far, and they don’t plan to lose.
