One month after The Washington Post revealed that the Egyptian government may have illegally given Donald Trump $10 million in 2017, Democrats have announced they will be investigating the allegations.

Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, led by ranking member Representative Jamie Raskin, announced in a press release Tuesday that they will be “demanding answers” from the Republican presidential nominee not only over the possible bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, but also over evidence that the Justice Department, led at the time by Attorney General William Barr, covered it up.

Oh dip, they're demanding an answer this time. He's gonna have to respond or else they'll.... checks papers oh, they'll just demand it again. Must be nice to avoid any and all repercussions from breaking the law over and over and over again.

Under normal circumstances, you ask the questions to get a record of the answers, so that you can prove the answers are lies. The more information the accused has when they provide answers, the more thoroughly they can lie.

With Mango Mussolini, there's never any consistency to his blatant lies, and he never pays any price for changing his story. Everyone knows he's a liar, so he can be as brazen as he wants to be because he knows he can lie without losing supporters.

So I'm with you. Democrats will circle up like a lacrosse team at a prep school mixer. Oh shit, Campbell is gonna go ask Lauren Z to dance. Let's go back him up. Here he goes-OH she said no... no wait he said "PSYCH!" He wasn't really asking, I bet she feels so dumb. Sick burn, Campbell. Let's go throw empty yoohoo bottles onto the roof of the auxiliary building and talk about what boobs probably look like.

That's what I picture every time I read about the Congressional Democrats. Campbell, Monty, Gunner, Brook, Tripp, Blake, and Gian, all hanging around in blazers and sweatervests talking about how cool it's going to be when they finally do something someday.

And yet corporate news is unable - unwilling and unable - to say that he lies.

Journalism is a farce.

Hey - don’t make them issue a statement!

Ohh ho, they’ll do it! And that statement will say they are very concerned!!

So - just watch your step, Clownface von Fuckstick

Careful. They could issue a demerit. Three of those and you get a citation. Keep pressing your luck and after 5 citations you get a violation...

Hey China, take notes. This is how you issue a stern rebuke!
