@tedlieu

You know what's super cool for @HouseJudDems on the Judiciary Committee now that Dems have won the House?

No more stupid hearings in @HouseJudiciary about Hillary Clinton's emails.

Instead, we are going to conduct real oversight over @realDonaldTrump and his Administration.

1. Thank you Ted!

You were one of the strongest voices out there in the midst of the continual assaults to this country's sanity!

[janterry]

2. I just love Ted

[Algernon Moncrieff]

3. No, but now we will have stupid hearings in the Senate

...to attempt to draw attention from hearings in the House.

5. senators can't get away with it as much

since they are accountable to a larger and more diverse group of voters.

4. Love Ted Lieu!! RETWEETED.

6. I am truly happy that

Dems won the House. Republicans are now down to 199/ Dems 222!

We won Independents.

7. I am so happy this morning!

Things are not perfect, but they are soooo much better than they were yesterday. Now we have 2 years to work on making things even better before our next election push. We are now able to correct some of the damage the tRump administration has done, and we can work toward pushing more positive change in 2020. Resist and Persist is still foremost on my schedule for the next 2 years.

8. I love our Rep!

I would be over the moon if he were Speaker in several years after Nancy decides it is time to make way. Keep it Cali!

9. Can we also agree on "non more stupid hearings on Trump's taxes"?

As a political matter, Trump's legal refusal to release his tax returns was litigated in 2016. If the issue is his business links to Russia, that's already been documented. If the issues is criminal liability, ask yourself why the IRS under Obama didn't refer them to DOJ?

The Democrats have to focus all of their energy on policy initiatives that voters care about, or we'll be out of control again in 2020.

12. You're right. Tax returns wouldn't show ties to Russia anyway.

Your liabilities aren't named, they're only listed as dollar amounts.
I've said from the start that he doesnt want them released because 1- it will show he doesnt make nearly as much as he tells us, 2- he gives very little to charity. If anything.

13. I see no reason to not subpoena trump's tax returns.

Maybe Mueller has them already. I don't know.
But, for the simple reason that trump didn't disclose his tax returns, leads me and a few million other folks to believe he has something to hide. The country needs transparency from the President. His taxes will prove one way or the other what, if anything, he is hiding from the American people.

14. Totally agree dawg

Fuck Trump's making money off of the presidency. The Clintons released 40 years of tax returns. We have a president who is making foreign policy based on which countries give his crime family the most money.

Fuck giving Trump a pass on money laundering, fuck giving him a pass on not paying his taxes, I have to pay mine. Trump and Mnuchin and Ross are all eyeball deep in financial fraud and money laundering, subpoena their taxes too, Drain The Swamp.

[calimary]

19. Totally agree, dawg.

I think trump should get a world of shit on just his taxes alone.

And how do we know there’s nothing useful or compromising or criminal involving the Russians in there? Besides, the added shame of exposing another false pretense would be rather sweet.

10. Well Lindsey wants to do that in the Senate

[SWBTATTReg]

11. Wonder if Nunes can be investigated now? Or at least relieved of his crap he's pulling w/ rump?

[watoos]

15. Did Nunes win?

[SWBTATTReg]

16. From the web search I did, unfortunately. nt

[saidsimplesimon]

17. There is also no more

Nunes chairing any committee. The WH administration has lost their favorite stooge running over to betray Mueller's investigation.

[calimary]

20. That alone is pretty great. Devin's not in charge anymore!

[roamer65]

18. Ted Lieu for president!

[dalton99a]

21. Another thing: His BFF Putin won't be able to give a speech to Congress when he comes to visit

[watoos]

22. Putin will never come to the U.S.

Trump is just playing games, or rather, Putin is pulling Trump's strings. Trump said that Putin is coming to the U.S. because Putin told him to say that.

[calimary]

23. God Bless You, Ted Lieu!

Mighty glad you’re on OUR side!
