    Of course he is doing that, because the Democrats are acting outside the Constitution, abusing their political offices for purely partisan Democratic Party politics.

    The function of the House of Representatives is not to look around at their political opponents. Pick out one opponent, and make assumptions about the things they think they might, maybe, possibly have done in the past. Then subpoena decades of financial information, and summon hundreds of people who ever crossed paths with their opponent. All so they can fish around to see if they maybe can get lucky and find some dirt to punish the person with, for purely Democratic Party political gains.

    It's why we look upon the current Democratic Party and all we see is one giant, red faced, enraged, spittle flecked, lawless lynch mob. They don't care about justice or the law. They have their innuendos, rumors, accusations of alleged misdeeds, and they grab their pitch forks, torches and rope, and drag the accused to the nearest tree.

    The dems were talking about impeaching Trump in Nov 2016, if not before.

    The same dude who got the Nobel Peace Prize before doing anything?

    So, if so valued, exactly why would he have his records sealed? Isn't that something he should be proud of? If he has nothing to hide....
