Kushners attorney accuses Senate panel of Gotcha Game over document request

Source: CNN

Lowell added that the committee's statements that the Kushner team had not disclosed documents is undermining the panel's credibility, because the team provided documents and added that they could hand over other relevant materials.

"If committees selectively leak parts of interviews or send me letters through the media, or turn Jared Kushner's very clear email that there should be no contacts with anyone in a foreign country into what they call a missing document, then they are undermining their own credibility," Lowell said.

Furthermore, slavery was bad because black lives matter.

The entirety of American History is a compromise of its fundamental principles, “We hold these truths to be self evident ... blah, blah.

The Revolution and the Civil War can be viewed as Slavery War I and Slavery War II. In both rebellions, secession was motivated by the fear of abolition in the near future. Somerset vs. Stewart, decided in 1772 London, portended the abolition of slavery in the Empire. Emancipation was considered much more oppressive and costly than taxation without representation, search and seizure or any of the other more commonly cited causes of the Revolution.

The road to American redemption has always been the struggle to create a more perfect union. This is what the protest is about - not the flag, but the republic for which it stands.

Source: NBC NEWS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would let Obamacare "fail" in the aftermath of his party's botched efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

This is how Trump has always dealt with his business failures. Declare bankruptcy. Walk away from responsibility and accountability. Leave people in the lurch.

The first step of an investigation is to...

...interview the Complainant, take his statement and have him sign his sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury. A tweet seems somewhat less formal.

He will have to choose between following his orders or protecting the constitution.
