The Maryland Democrat later added: “President Trump’s actions violate our Constitution’s fundamental principle of checks and balances.” That strategy will put Democrats in a difficult position of having to determine whether to subpoena the information they seek — or even go to court. Democratic leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi , have been wary of criticism of overreach or “presidential harassment” as Trump often calls it. But Democrats may not have a choice, they say.
On Monday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler had been more positive about the response, saying he had received “tens of thousands” of documents from others. “Democrats have only provided about 8,000 pages of documents received in response to their 81 letters, which doesn’t approach the claim they’ve received tens of thousands of documents,” said a spokesman for the GOP. “Either Democrats are deliberately concealing committee records — which confirms they’re invested in partisan inquisitions more than credible oversight — or they are deliberately misrepresenting the facts to the press and American public.
Must have something to hide ...
ManchuCandidate pure obstruction.
Good.
Yes, more probes of Trump documents - all the investigations and probes have yielded so much damaging information! Let's get more damaging information! (ooops, there hasn't been anything damaging, but don't tell anyone)
The confirmation bias is strong with these commenters. Line your birdcage or make paper mache with this newspaper, that is the exhausted list of its useful purposes.

What are TrumpPence TrumpCrimeFamily TrumpCrimeSyndicate hiding from WeThePeople? Treason is forever
Good-----let the witch hunters work for their bull 💩. Nothing but wasted tax $. 😠
Not a surprise! Most Corrupt administration ever!
(Because they’re criminals)
Another witch hunt paid for by taxpayers!!
I suspect the Dems knew he would, and already have the subpoenas drawn up. It's not like Trump is unpredictable or anything.
What do you have to hide ? Innocent never ever act this way
Sad. Terrible. What's is been going on in this system
Good... we are tired 😓 of this political BS that is only designed to attack trump. Everyone should just say NO to this shit sow!
So what? That's what the Dems did with Benghazi, HRC's e-mails, Fast & Furious...what's OK with one side should be OK for the other.
To be honest, democrats need to just unload subpoenas like there’s no tomorrow. Trump is going to cry and lie about whatever anyway. Might as well unleash all of his documents so people can see them now. I’m sure there will be enough information until 2020 and beyond. He’s dirty.
Hiding Something?
Trump is hiding something
They should make the democrats go to the Supreme Court for each and every scrap of paper.
Acting like the guilty corrupt conspirators they are
