LEAHY WRITTEN STATEMENT:
“I was glad to meet Mr. Fielding and I welcome the fact that these issues have his full attention.
“I don’t accept his offer. It is not constructive and it is not helpful to be telling the Senate how to do our investigation, or to prejudge its outcome.
“Instead of freely and fully providing relevant documents to the investigating committees, they have only selectively sent documents, after erasing large portions that they do not want to see the light of day.
“Testimony should be on the record, and under oath. That’s the formula for true accountability.
“I hope the President will agree to be forthcoming.
Comments“The straighter the path to the truth, the sooner we will finally know the facts.”

Nancy Pelosi Is Already Attacking the Legitimacy of the 2020 Election

The Impeachment Clock
Adam Schiff’s impeachment inquiry is incoherent. Given the impossibility of a senatorial conviction, the only strategy is to taint the president with the brand of impeachment and weaken him in the 2020 election.
Yet Schiff seems to have no sense that the worm has already turned. Far from tormenting Trump and ...

Study: Medicare for All Would Make Two-Thirds of Households Financially Worse Off
It's here, from the Heritage Foundation. The upshot is that while Medicare for All could be a financial boon to non-working Americans, including seniors who'd see their current Medicare premiums disappear, most of those who currently have jobs would lose more in tax hikes than they'd gain by not having to pay for ...

Warren’s Wealth Tax Is Unethical
Senator Warren would impose a 2 percent annual tax on wealth above $50 million, and a 6 percent annual tax on wealth above $1 billion.
These numbers may seem small, but remember that they would be applied every year. With wealth taxes, small numbers have large effects. Applied to an asset yielding a steady ...
