House Democrats launch probe of Trump’s dinner with oil executives
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee sent letters to oil companies requesting more information about their executives’ meeting with Donald Trump.
Lawmakers demand details of a Mar-a-Lago dinner where Trump promised to ease regulations on the oil industry while asking executives to steer $1 billion to his 2024 campaign.
I don't know how it isn't clear in the eyes of the law.
If the eyewitness reports can corroborate that "repeal the specific ban Biden put on LNG exports" is being offered, and the price being "a billion" dollars, even if no executives took up that offer, Trump ought to be punished for even soliciting such an arrangement, no?
Trump is a Republican so no, punishment isn't on the table. Instead they'll impeach Biden for having a dog in the whitehouse or something, much better use of taxpayer funds.
Devil’s advocate: aren’t democrats bought and sold too?
Yes and each one should be investigated and held accountable for it. Ofc one side thinks "rules for thee, not for me".
I mean unless they think they're getting to some kind of trial in 2 months...
I think the main aim here is to make sure voters know, though aiming for a trial isn't a bad move either.
I dont think you are wrong in the 'why' of why they are doing this; also, if a crime has been committed, i'm good with this.
However, "Trump Bad" as a campaign strategy is losing Democrats this election. If this is part of some longshot campaign approach, its idiotic. Trump led an insurrection against the United States of America. Maybe return to that. Bribing executives is peanuts.
Not a probe!
