    Jeet Heer Retweeted Brad Heath

    Trump's lawyers are literally arguing that the president is above the law and should be immune from congressional oversight. I don't see how congress (and the courts) can allow this, unless they want to give up the rule of law.https://twitter.com/bradheath/status/1128350674725560321 …

    President Trump's lawyers told a judge today that Congress didn't have the power to investigate him for corruption, and suggested that both the Whitewater and Watergate investigations were invalid attempts at "law enforcement." https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/05/14/president-trump-fight-congressional-subpoena-financial-records-mazars-court-hearing/1187746001/ … pic.twitter.com/18C79TBHWO

        Hypocrisy arguments are weak but - for future reference, in case there's a future - it would be nice to get as many R's on the record as possible saying 'no comment' when asked to affirm even mild norms like 'no, the President is not above investigation for corruption'.

        It’s actually *worse* than that. The lawyers are arguing congress can’t even conduct oversight in to compliance with laws that have incidental effects on the president.

        "unless they want to give up the rule of law." It's so much easier in a dictatorship as long as I'm the dictator All the rest of the "fine people" don't have to think.

        I though we fought a revolution over the ideal that no man is above the law.

        Don’t worry, the Democrats will draft a sternly worded memo.
