California Congressman Robert Garcia on C-SpanThe White House fired off a warning shot to incoming House Oversight Committee Chair Robert Garcia (D-CA) on Monday, warning of investigations into the “blatant criminality” of their plans to investigate and weaponize Congress against the Trump Administration. This comes after Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate the Democratic “EXTORTIONISTS” for threatening members of his administration on Saturday, writing,The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process. This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this. Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters. This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level. The Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, is saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican. The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast! Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately! President DONALD J. TRUMP“I write to remind you of the foundational limits that the Constitution imposes on congressional investigations and subpoenas, which you and members of the new Congress have evinced a clear intent to transgress,” White House counsel Will Scharf writes in the letter obtained by Punchbowl News.“We are monitoring the abusive and capricious threats that are now proliferating from Democrat legislators who seek to abuse the legislative process to intimidate and to interfere with the lawful functioning of our government,” Scharf continues before listing various examples of Democrats’ public threats.“Recent public statements underscore these concerns. You and your congressional colleagues have asserted that they will issue subpoenas to harass, threaten, and deter dedicated members of the Administration from further service. Several have compared their subpoena pledges to handing out ‘candy,’ ‘Mardi Gras beads,’ and enough paper to level forests. Representative-Elect Ojeda wants to see Secretary Hegseth ‘squirm,’ while Representative-Elect Padilla Stout told witnesses to ‘put makeup on for the cameras’ at their hearings.”It further points to Garcia’s own threats, where he threatened Trump and administration officials immediately after Democrats flipped the House of Representatives in last Tuesday’s election. “LAWYER UP” was the incoming Oversight Committee Chairman’s first words after the Democrats won the majority. Likewise, when Stephen Miller was promoted to White House Chief of Staff last week, Garcia immediately threatened investigations and called on Miller to “lawyer up.”“Oversight Democrats will continue to investigate Miller for his misconduct, and we will fight against his hateful policies in Congress and the courts. Stephen Miller should lawyer up,” he wrote.“Your own statements are rather shocking because they exhibit all of these malicious and improper features,” Scharf wrote.“When you launched your ‘LAWYER UP’ campaign, you prominently featured an image of a courtroom gavel set to the tune of a song called ‘The End.’ You have repeatedly accused the President and administration officials of criminal activity and have openly touted that you are in contact with state attorneys general to ‘get[] information’ using the House Oversight Committee for the purpose of taking administration officials ‘through the court systems for prosecution.’ Bizarrely, you have chalked your motives up to nothing more than ‘gay’ ‘pettiness’ rather than any legislative purpose and compared yourself to a demonic clown.”Scharf adds that the “abusive threats and public statements about the indiscriminate issuance of subpoenas, along with threats directed at prospective targets within the Administration make it abundantly clear that any forthcoming investigative processes will be deployed to harass and aggrandize, rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”The Democrats’ political show trials “may cross the line into blatant criminality,” he writes, threatening further investigation by the Department of Justice.“The Trump Administration expects members of Congress to discharge their investigative functions ‘within settled constitutional limits. The Administration will not be extorted and will not be 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,” the letter concludes.Still, on Tuesday, the Democrats’ threats continued with House Democrat Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar threatening to go after companies that did business with the Trump Administration.House Democrat Leaders Threaten Companies That Did Business with Trump Administration (VIDEO)/*!
