Democrats are preparing a hostile audit of Trump and his inner circle, intent on exposing — and ultimately ending — the most lucrative presidency in American history. Dems see the presidential gold rush as corruption personified — and plan to bury Trump's orbit in subpoenas if they win the House.

PLEASE DO......I REALLY WOULD LIKE THAT

Too bad nobody will be held accountable for not testifying.

Good.

Trump raped children

YES!!!WE NEED STRONG LEADERSHIP AND STAYING FIERCE. DITCH SCHUMER AND MOSES JOHNSON. LET'S START FROM SCRATH AFTER WE RID THE USA OF THESE COCKROACHES!

“…if…” 🙏 🤞 🙏 We must VOTE BLUE in every election or else 💙🇺🇸💙❗️

Why? Trump will just pardon everyone. The only thing democrats need to work on is impeaching Trump and Vance. Trial after trial after trial until they're gone.

be cool if they didnt use headlines like "gold rush!" as if there is a positive spin to gutting your own nation

Looking forward to the Roberts Court saying he’s immune to Congressional subpoenas

Trump and Republicans illegally use the government to go after their political enemies criminally -- and yet it's Democrats who are "hostile" and "subpoena storm"

Sounds like a great idea to me!

Ответ для If you didn't vote Dem, you helped make this:

Recalling the adage that accountability feels like persecution for those never held accountable. Sickening that the feeling should extend to their protectors and apologists.

It isn’t a hostile audit damn it, its what needs to be done to correct the injustices these people did to America. They raped her and abused her and they need to be held accountable! Sound familiar?…. #EpsteinFiles should be the first thing that comes to mind. @katiephang.bsky.social

Are financial crimes worse than raping children and being party to their murders? I think not. Release the Epstein files

Aye, a Subpoena Storm sounds dreadful, but she's an easy sail without the Easterlies of Enforcement!

This is obviously the reason why he's willing to jeopardize his party's political standing on behalf of the so-called SAVE Act

Ответ для BygoneBegotRisk

2 goals: extract every penny he can from us and stay out of prison. That's it.

It to them a while to get here.

Yeah well if history is anything to go by, that will probably take them 2 years and by then Trump will have made another few $billion and will have packed his bags and disappeared off into the land of pardons & immunity.

On the Qatari (but USA made) 747 too!

Dunno maybe don’t paint this like a juicy partisan issue.

Ответ для SPFHockeyfan, Esq.

It's the "most lucrative in history"?!?! Yes, political press, talk about the presidency like The Force Awakens.

At some point, Republicans must also pay a price for refusing to hold Trump accountable. They enable ALL of his crimes. And they are responsible. One of many reasons I've always said government can NOT police itself. Never has, and never will.

Ответ для Chris⚖️Justice

HOW BOUT NOW??? HOLD REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE - enabled him and his DREADFUL / DEADLY POLICIES REPUBLICANS = COWARDS AND MORAL FAILURES

Ответ для Chris⚖️Justice

Not at some point. At the same time. This is unprecedented

You know one of my concerns about is these expanded powers the executive branch now has. Will the next person in the White House be very willing to get rid of them? The MAGAs are VERY short sighted, but what they've done across the board is going to be long lasting.

They see it as corruption because it fuckung is.

"Dems see it that way"? HOW ABOUT THE FUCKING LAW?? Someone has to enforce it. These evil fucks need to finally face some just consequences. 😡😡

Ответ для Pissed off cat mom 🇺🇦

And who exactly are the law enforcers in DC? The DC USA's office & DOJ. The Dems have to get creative.

Ответ для Pissed off cat mom 🇺🇦

Aw thats cute, you still think these people apply the laws to themselves, their peers & their rich friends

Yes, and…? I mean, this is like the bare minimum for any candidate running in 2026.

Sounds great, but what is the enforcement process? DOJ is more likely to defend than enforce.

Is there a difference between a "hostile" audit and a "fair" audit in this context?

"Thank you for your attention to this matter." Nine years too late, but do carry on.

But they will leave him in office to continue his crimewave while their dick around with this investigation.

Great idea! There is no end of material.

In other news, Trump is preparing to completely ignore any attempt by Democrats to audit him and his inner circle, in fact not just ignore but to laugh to the point he wets his diaper at the feeble, half-assed, feckless attempts by Democrats to actually hold him accountable for anything ever.

Unfortunately I doubt they will ever get that opportunity The elections will either not take place or will be rigged in GOP favor 🤬

PAYWALL.

“most lucrative”? WTF…like past presidencies were less effective at making money? This is the most CORRUPT and self-dealing—it’s not supposed to be lucrative.

Hostile or honest?

Is it really 'hostile' to investigate potential grift?

It's the kleptocracy, stupid. (This is what took Orbán down too.)

Ответ для Green Hombre

Even conservatives hate: 1. Cheating customers 2. Stealing from the company 3. Sleeping on the job

Can they subpoena him to go under oath and be accountable for his crime and grift against our democracy.

I applaud them, however I am positive nothing will come of it. The Moldy Orange can do what he wants, when he wants, and will never be held accountable. bsky.app/profile/slap...

FFS HFS WTAF! 🇺🇸 💔🙈🙉🙊

ARE WE FUCKED?

Truth and R̶e̶c̶o̶n̶c̶i̶l̶i̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ and Justice

CC: @marcelias.bsky.social

They made that 1 president give up his peanut farm but Trump can enrich himself with all these scams???

Unless all these CEOs, board of directors, and congressmen are actually imprisoned awaiting trial, dont even bother. It's just more hot air. We want to see them all behind bars until their day in court, and if guilty, after as well.

I read that as obit

Yes, this is what we would expect them to do when they get the majority BUT announcing their plan now will only ensure all the more lawless fuckery in denying us that vote. e.g. No mail-in ballots. Mass arrests on the way to the polls. Seizing ballots.

Trump gonna subpoena the storm. Gotta find out which Jewish space laser paid agitator geo-rigged the heatwave.

Good.

Subpoenas, like the one gym Jordan has yet to answer and has not suffered any consequences for? A subpoena like that, you might as well save the paper and ink because unlike us they seem to be able to ignore such things and keep on keeping on - just like the empty words of ‘No One is Above The Law’

Meanwhile trumps evil minions are busy plotting ways to fix the upcoming election.

I sure hope someone has been following the money, because there's a lot of it that'll be missing.

It’s about fuckin time

I demand maximum hostility.

TY but we saw him dodge all this the last time.

If they did an audit, what would these stupid fuckers do with it. Jesus Christ, you had 4 years to put this Pedophile Rapist Thief in jail and you sat around on your hands. Those fuckers are as inept as Roscoe P. Coaltrain.

Can't wait to see how the fumble this one

Ответ для Pa. Girl 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

They are the minority.

because it's worked so well thus far

What can they do, since he will be pardoning everyone in his corrupt regime?

Gosh, do ya think there's anything to it?

Unless this leads to impeachment, I'm not sure what the point is.

Trump is clearly spiraling. Hope his inner circle is ready.

Trump figured out a way to accept bribes legally and out in the open-setup gimcrack crypto venture so that his buddies in the Gulf States can buy it, and file frivolous lawsuits so that media companies can settle them, even though they were without merit. No more envelopes stuffed with cash.

What’s the bad part?

This is what every member of Congress should do when a president increases his wealth by hundreds of times more than all other presidents combined. It should be non-partisan. It doesn't look like corruption, it is corruption. Anyone who disagrees is part of the conspiracy.

J

In 2018, it was called a “subpoena cannon”. Now it’s called a “storm”. I expect the whole matter will be dropped as it was in 2019. The Dems don’t work for us. washingtonmonthly.com/2019/04/24/h...

Ответ для J Spider Hunter

Inn 2019 the New Democrat majority in congress gave Trump the money for his border wall. Now they can give him money for his ball room.

@kylegriffin1.bsky.social you are a fucking embarrassment. The Trump administration is the biggest corruption scheme in America and you’re bending a knee.

Trump and the MAGA Republicans brought third world style corruption to the US👍

Just as Jack Smith advised that the state attorneys general’s workshop every possible election scenario hopefully the democrats are doing the same on this case.

Are they doing out of a sense of justice or jealousy?? Results may vary.

Don’t tell us let it be a surprise

Good. Much better than the calls for impeachment that stands so little chance of winning in the senate

Great news

THIS. But not just this. What are that going to do to prevent this from happening again! No more relying on presidential norms!

M

This should be the easiest thing for any opposition party.

Ответ для meekman

Words.

Excellent

ALL HANDS ON DECK

They'd better not be nice. They'd better take the gloves off, and they'd better do whatever they can to make amends for not throwing Trump's ass in prison before he could run or another term.

Ответ для Karmageddon

Gotta look at Mitch McConnell for that one. He had his chance in impeachment #2 to freeze out Trump forevuh. But he didn't. And here we are.

Ответ для Karmageddon

Trump was going to prison. SCOTUS saved him. Then he won all the Swing States. Part of the reason was that so many dumbasses thought Biden was picking on him.

This playbook needs to include an independent enforcement mechanism with teeth

People organise and vote blue 🗳️💙

You mean the same way they subpoenaed a whole bunch of republicans after J6? That really worked out well.

Please don't call it hostile (Axios' words first.) Hostility implies spite or malice. While, obviously, many people do have those feels about Trump, an audit is just a tool of investigation (here, of obvious shit). It's just honest, and how government should work.

Okay, but they need to impeach as well.

Great. Then what are they going to do to ENFORCE that? Because a fucking sternly-worded letter? Ain’t it. Unless you literally have the people with guns at your back, it’s not going to change anything.

D

And what, you think it's ok that he is profiting from the office and using taxpayer money to fund his garbage projects? Axios is a right wing rag.

They will ignore the subpoenas and Dems, being weak and naive, will let them.

Ответ для Hank Lacey

Democrats are enablers

And we already know they will ignore the subpoenas and congress has no way to enforce them. 🤷‍♀️

They ignore subpoenas. Just freeze assets, go straight to jail and work it out from that point.

Or they could just skip to impeaching the motherfucker. All this procedural nonsense is worthless. We don't need years of useless hearings. Trump and Vance need to be removed ASAP.

Ответ для SaftyKuma

Followed by at least half of the SCOTUS.

It’s not hostile, it’s necessary.

Ответ для Chris McKercher

Ответ для Chris McKercher

It’s fun to say Hostile Audit though. Might write it on the back of a jean jacket in tough heavy metal style lettering.

Ответ для Chris McKercher

Right? That's what I'm asking. This article is written as if this is a bad thing to hold Trump accountable for HIS CORRUPTION! SMDH.

We'll believe it when we see it.

Dems plan to restore rule of law would be a much better title tbh

It can’t happen soon enough.

The opportunity to take advantage of this politically is now. They don’t need house control, special cmmts, subpoenas. The fin. disc. was just released. Use it. Insinuate, question, speculate, use accusatory language. This isn’t a court of law, & the Senate won’t convict. Change the strategy.

And they SHOULD! It’s not like he is hiding it! He’s bragging about it!

I foresee a thriving demand for forensic accountants in the coming years.

what's the plan when they just ignore the subpoenas?

Ответ для Snarky Panda

Banks can’t avoid subpoenas.

Ответ для Snarky Panda

with the dems we got I’m guessing chuck has some strongly worded letters his back pocket. That’ll show em!

Ответ для Snarky Panda

The GOP learned to ignore subpoenas in the bush administration. Raskin and Dem reps need to be planning for novel enforcement powers, including escalation to crisis.

Ответ для Snarky Panda

Trump won't be around long enough to be brought to justice. HOWEVER, he'll be replaced by JD Vance -- and it needs to be made clear to Vance that, once he leaves office, people are not going to forget his wrongdoings.

Ответ для Snarky Panda

Republican politicians might be willing to ignore subpoenas. The private sector actors they're colluding with might be much less willing to do so since they'd face real consequences for it.

Plot? Hostile?

Ответ для Ed Lynch

I thought executive oversight was in the Constitution as the job of The House.

How about planning an impeachment storm? Impeach Convict Remove

Confiscating his ill-gotten gains and throwing his entire extended family in prison for theft has gotta be priority number one for the next administration. They can’t move past this shit in the name of national unity.

Don't do the crimes if you can't do the time (aspirational)

For every subpoena ignored, 10 republicans should be removed from committees. And bring back Inherent Contempt with a new jail cell in the bowels of the capitol that only plays Kid Rock.

I wonder what the strategy is for combatting election interference and the authoritarian playbook.

Ответ для Lefty Costello

Vote in numbers too big to ignore Trumps efforts to mess up mid terms will backfire. He’s a loser

Maybe we shouldn't tell them what we're going to do?

Good luck. Ain't gonna be easy.

Do it.

This sounds great —but Ds cannot lose their nerve when they *defy * ignore* those subpoenas, which they will. They have to have the will to use inherent contempt or civil contempt (criminal contempt sent to DOJ will be useless). #resist #resistance @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Ответ для We're Hanging by a thread

Exactly. My first thought was they'll ignore everything.

Remember it's Dementia Donnie's "Justice Department" that is supposed to enforce any supenas(sp?) Any bets on that happening?

That’s the best campaign promise I’ve ever heard. Every candidate should read this tweet verbatim into the camera for their ad.

And they will send numerous strongly worded letters and nothing will happen

Seems to me it’s a long-overdue exercise of oversight responsibilities, not a hostile plot. And…it’s about damn time.

Ответ для Dan Davis

Congressional oversight requires majorities and/or cooperation from the party in the majority. Dems have had neither. They've done what they cold with the GOP running both houses.

Zero. Consequences.

They should. Corruption breaks everything

That would be swell, but won't matter unless Schumer/Jeffries get kicked out of leadership, because they are both massive incompetent cowards and losers at best, and collaborators at worst. Ultimately Dems were not willing to pull their balls on the table and that's why we are where we are now.

As it should be. Looting the US Treasury and implementing mob law in the White House is a crime.

Democrats are feckless. It’s why we are in this mess.

AS THEY SHOULD!! I hope they are serious about this and not bluffing, this corruption MUST be exposed and each participant in it prosecuted!

This could be very effective and the odds are in their favour because there is a huge attack surface to explore. Even if they can only prove 1% of the corruption that could be enough to put the entire Trump Gang away for decades. Trump could weasel out of 99% of his crimes and still die in prison.

As is said in many Monty Python movies GET ON WITH IT!!!!

The results of such an audit will be lost in 2 news cycles. The majority of people don’t have an interest span long enough to really stay upset.

FUCKING DO IT ALREADY

Hostile doing a lot of work for “reasonable and necessary.”

Democrat politicians know that if they don’t do this, and more, they’ll lose their jobs because Mamdani’s machine can win anywhere. They may lose them anyway if they take money from AIPAC

Good those fuckers need to pay us taxpayers back now!

When even Fox 'News' is reporting on his corruption, you know you've given up the ghost. Boo.

Oh, are we done ignoring the corruption that is robbing us, the people, blind? Onward. Let’s get to trials and convictions as efficiently as possible.

“Hostile audit” “subpoena storm” how about “Democrats intend to enforce the fuckin law?”

Since when is enforcing the law hostile?

Seriously doubt Chuck and Hakeem will go through with any kind of oversight.

The MAGA will just ignore all subpoenas. Justice Department will do nothing. Congress needs to jail folks directly.

J

Trump seems to be a target rich environment for a corruption investigation.

Plan rather than plot, exhaustive rather than hostile...why make Democrats sound like boogymen for doing what's right?

🤞

I'll start holding my breath.

This will backfire just like J6 committee. Focus on legislation that matters. Trump is not going to prison no matter what he did and will be dead before facing consequences.

Start rounding up all the ethical, professional legal minds kicked out of the DOJ. Some might even work pro bono.

Subpoenas are long overdue, but a Democratically-controlled House had better gear up for sending the Sergeant-at-Arms on numerous round-up trips, because those maga fascists don't respect America, its people, or its laws, and will ignore *every* subpoena because tRump will just pardon them. [==*==]

seize every cent and use it to fix what they broke. also, will someone PLEASE track down mike johnson's secret stash?

An AUDIT, FINALLY!!

Real question: Do congressional hearings matter, even when democrats are in power? Does anyone watch or care?

Why is this written like it's a bad thing for Democrats to be exposing Trump’s CORRUPTION? Seriously WTAF?

Everyone will take the Fifth.

Here’s how this will go 1) Dems will come hot out of the gate with a media blitz and hearings 2) The right wing media and their donors will criticize them 3) Dems will panic and say they are doing this to appeal to moderates 4) Dems stop Investigations and call for national unity with Republicans

Ответ для Chairman Kefka

Here's how this will go

Dems see? Everyone sees it Stop acting like the truth is partisan

Love to believe this will happen & subpoenas won’t merely be ignored… it’s really the last chance for Dems, will they have a PLAN?? Please have a plan. Please bring down these criminals

I'll believe it when I see it.

Fuck yeah. But they need to put some teeth in this subpoenas. Arrest if they don’t show up, etc.

Excellent news.

About time.

There are two separate emoluments clauses in the Constitution, somehow rarely enforced. If not now, when?
