[UCmeNdc]

Just when you thought Dems couldn’t get any weaker by delaying, stalling, foot dragging, and literally having people like fascist Barr laugh right in the face of Pelosi at contempt threats, House Ways and Means committee chairman Neal says, hold my beer!

1. I'm not sure why he's not accepting NY's offer...

...but I don't think it's weakness.

I'm sure there's a reason.

2. State returns? They should still tell Neal a lot about Trump' s finances.

Media needs to ask Neal but will they?

5. I would have thought he's confident of getting access through his right to see any American's

tax returns, in a timely fashion from the courts. He can always go back to NY, if he loses.

3. This Is Why

"Neal has said he fears that getting the state returns would bolster Trump administration arguments that Congress is on a political fishing expedition — and not, as Neal has claimed, overseeing the Internal Revenue Service’s annual audits of the president."

You need to be careful and tHe arguments you make before the judge are important and must be on the side of law and within the jurisdiction of Congress. And who's to say, if the judge rules against him, he could still go for them.

6. I agree. Lots of Monday morning quarterbacks around lately. n/t

8. Wow. You mean reasons

Who knew Chairman Neal might have already thought this through and may have considered some things that people watching from ringside haven't?

[Me.]

10. We Seem To Be On A Continually Repeating Cycle

Dem Committee Head makes a move/decision followed by a freak-out followed by the calm after the storm when the good reason for the move is explained/discovered

9. Thanks.

Strategy and tactics always important, and often not apparent.

[Me.]

11. Quite

we either trust our leaders or we don't

4. It's too soon

7. Back off

1. Stop eating our own

2. Think

3. He is standing up to the right. State help negates that critical effort.

4. Repeat 1 and 2.
