House oversight chairman cites 'massive' obstruction by Trump, Barr

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee accused the Trump administration of a “massive, unprecedented, and growing pattern of obstruction” for ordering federal employees not to comply with congressional investigations.

“Both President Trump and Attorney General Barr are now openly ordering federal employees to ignore congressional subpoenas and simply not show up - without any assertion of a valid legal privilege,” U.S. Representative Elijah Cummings said in a statement.

The Justice Department on Wednesday rebuffed the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which had sought to interview an official involved in the Trump administration’s decision to put a citizenship question on the 2020 U.S. Census.

The word "massive" is losing its meaning.

Cummings is the one of many dems obstructing justice, stalling the investigation that leads straight to the Obama White House.

Yes , so it is a proven fact that Russia did INVADE this country and tampered with the elections. I am not saying that Trump colluded but do you not want to get to the facts where ever it leads us?
