Trump goes gangster and says legislation will suffer because of investigations.
Republicans who applauded him are hypocrites after all of their investigations.
There are more reasons than ever to investigate Trump and his corrupt associates. I hope he can be indicted and put in jail if the facts warrant that as punishment.
Gee, what do all of these entities have in common, other than being under CRIMINAL investigations⁉️

I can understand why the idea of meaningful oversight terrifies the President. Several of his close associates are going to jail, others await trial, and criminal investigations continue.

We’re going to do our job and won’t be distracted or intimidated by threats or attacks.
This is a splendid agenda. Finally real intelligence is being brought to bear on the swamp that has thus far defined Trumplandia and defied penetration. Whatever becomes of Trump, at least we’ll learn the whole truth. https://t.co/GTH6EaMOkZ

In January 2019, Trump made a similar appeal. https://t.co/Z13CQqpeH5
"If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation." GOPers applauded.

How many of them supported the Benghazi investigations? The Clinton impeachment? How many shouted "Lock Her Up"?
The stench.
