Trump: “I come here to call for UNITY (which I never did when my party controlled both the House and Senate, but now we lost the House so I am begging you for UNITY which really means give me everything I want or I’ll shut down the government and if you honor your Constitutional duty of oversight I won’t allow any legislation to advance.”
Or, paraphrasing Stephen Colbert in his live show immediately after the speech: “You can have EITHER legislation OR investigation. One or the other. After all, who ever heard of BOTH law AND order?
“Unity if you do it my way. Threats if you have any ideas different than mine.”
On a related note: Today Adam Schiff (D-California) refused to be intimidated by Trump’s threats and announced five new areas of investigation that his committee will begin. Number five was to investigate any efforts by any person, domestic or foreign, who tries to impede or obstruct any investigation, whether by the Justice Department (Mueller) OR BY CONGRESS (you know, the crime that Trump just committed on national TV).
