Does Mueller legislate?

The Right is always right
Like Obama and Holder did? Hypocrite.
Nope.

Mueller made his determination, but that doesn't mean congress can't change the laws, and congress issue subpoenas to gather information on the best way to do so.
Mueller provided a report which provides exhaustive detail, what there is there...or is it vindictiveness and spite...
I think it's vindictiveness and spite

Congress has every right to change the laws to outlaw whatever they think needs outlawing.
Sure .. but in so doing they rusk damaging the balances between the branches of government..
Bugsy McGurk
President
I remember hearing a lot of that from Republicans during the GOP’s 9th Benghazi investigation.
You too?
;-)
Yes. Both seems abusive. No?

How so?
Both the Congress and the executive seek to reach beyond the limits established by the Constitution and law. Whichever of the to succeed will leave the grave consequences because the judiciary will then have to roll said ruling fundamentally altering the bases upon which separation of powers are predicated

Yea... I don't buy that. Congress has every right to investigate whatever the hell they choose.
They have every right to look into legislation that limits the power of the presidency. There are constitutional methods for doing so. And issuing subpoenas merely informs their decision making process.
Sure. What are they subpoenaing...
They're turning it into a political gotcha tool

That's what congress was elected to do. Political damage is not a legitimate reason to ignore subpoenas.
It's beyond damage it's a circus. Failure all around

And what would you do about it?
Me, nothing.
I think more election cycles of voting these turds out may help....but I'm not optimistic

elections are what got the turds in the first place. quality candidates don't just magically appear. And even if they did, they prolly ain't gonna win. People just vote for the biggest troll nowadays.
On this we agree
