Democrats Have Launched 300 Investigations In Last 100 Days
It’s three new “investigations” (code for “partisan fishing trips”) every single day for the Democrats in Congress who have apparently accomplished nothing else aside from these investigations except renaming a few post offices.
The White House on Thursday pushed back against congressional investigations of the Bush administration and said lawmakers should spend more time passing bills to solve domestic problems.
In a constitutional showdown with Congress, the administration claimed executive privilege and rejected demands for White House documents about the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.
The House and Senate Judiciary committees have set a deadline of 10 a.m. next Monday for the White House to explain its basis for the claim.
The administration has not said when or if it will respond. Spokesman Scott Stanzel said Thursday the White House has received a many requests for information since Democrats took control of Congress in January and has turned over 200,000 pages of documents.
“They’ve launched over 300 investigations, had over 350 requests for documents and interviews and they have had over 600 oversight hearings in just about 100 days,” Stanzel said.
I understand that the Democrats campaigned on an “accountability for Bush” agenda. Heck, there are some things I think Bush should be investigated over. But 300 investigations?
C’mon. This isn’t about accountability. This is about partisan politics, pure and simple.
Update: This is a good point in the comments. With Congressional approval ratings at 14%, can anyone honestly say that Americans want all of these investigations?
