So, basically the answer is security clearances are totally at the discretion of the Executive, and Congress can only investigate matters pursuant to legislative needs. So Go Pound Sand.

I am picturing Jared going to congress and berating them for meddling in his efforts to do awesome foreign policy, by enforcing bureaucratic nonsense like proper security clearances.

Slowing global growth is causing a reduction in demand for U.S. goods, while a stronger dollar is also working against the trade balance.

In the shadow of W's presidential library in Dallas last night, Howard Schultz said Mike Bloomberg not running for president is evidence of the Democrats moving toward socialism and cited it as a fresh rationale for his own bid.

Lawyers were set to square off here Wednesday in a courtroom showdown that could expose more sordid details in the politically-charged scandal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier and philanthropist whose relatively cushy plea deal on underage sex charges a decade ago has become a political liability for Labor Secretary Alex Acosta.

"The Democrats in Congress yesterday were vicious and totally showed their cards for everyone to see," Trump tweeted Tuesday, referring to House Democrats' launching of a broad-scale investigation into him. "When the Republicans had the Majority they never acted with such hatred and scorn! The Dems are trying to win an election in 2020 that they know they cannot legitimately win!"

Trump 2020 campaign press secretary Kayleigh McEnany echoed that sentiment in a statement on the Democratic investigations. "These desperate Democrats know they cannot beat President Trump in 2020, so instead they have embarked on a disgraceful witch hunt with one singular aim: topple the will of the American people and seize the power that they have zero chance at winning legitimately," she said.

And asked Wednesday about the Democratic investigations, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said this: "They continue to be a group totally taken by small radical leftist fringe of their party and they're completely controlled by it, they know that's not enough to beat this President so they're going to look for other ways to do that."

I guess we expect sore losers, but not so much sore winners.

I think maybe WK's other point in bringing it up, is that we were just having a conversation about whether Trump would ever accept an electoral defeat.
