The Trump Organization is demanding that the House Judiciary Committee stop investigating the company, arguing that the congressional probes have been “irreparably” tainted

Share on Twitter . In a letter to Chairman Jerry Nadler , Trump Organization attorney Alan Futerfas said the committee’s decision to hire Barry Berke as a legal consultant violates ethics rules because Berke’s firm has long represented the Trump Organization. In the strongly worded letter, Futerfas demanded that Nadler fire Berke and that the chairman turn over Berke’s communications with the Judiciary panel.

No criminal trump organization NO

joyrevels28 How do you damage a criminal empire?

This is the new plan after all else has failed?

Oh sure!!! Why are they demanding (hahahaaaa “demanding”😂🤣😂) that the House “stop investigating “ 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 the Trump Organization? That’s downright HILARIOUS!!! What, pray tell, are they worried about somebody finding? 😂🤣😂😂🤣

If trump wants investigations stopped, he should do the right thing by resigning!

Trump is a known liar

Yeah. House J will get right on that 😂

It is ok to be irreparably tainted if it favors trump.

And how else would a criminal organization to act. Operates like the mob.

We’ll be the judge of that.

Guilty speaks loudly

PuestoLoco Maybe Stealing The Presidency Wasn’t Such a Good Idea. Smart Criminals stay in the Shadows

Here's a suggestion for the Trump Organization.

THEY ARE KIDDING, RIGHT?

sharcat12 HA HA HA GotSOMETHINGtoHIDE?

No they will not and what you going to do about How about you step down and we will think about it.

Awwwwwwww. Donnie's fee fees are hurt.

Who do they think they are?

You know what has been tainted?

Divest your businesses then

We think not....

Lol they think they can just tell them to stop

EricTrump DonaldJTrumpJr IvankaTrump Guys, guys, I just have one question. Exactly how corrupt are you all? Are you hardened criminals running a criminal organization? Why do you lie constantly? Is that just a habit you picked up early? GeraldoRivera LindseyGrahamSC cnn

Nice try

Ha ha ha ha

Screw the Trump Organization! If they were innocent, they'd open their books for audit. I hope DonaldJTrumpJr does well in prison, but I doubt he will. (He won't fit in very we.)

Judiciary Committee must be close to something if the Trump Org wants them to stop. Obviously wanting to hide something.

Why?

Trump organization screaming ethics violations is tastiest treat of irony I have had all year 😂 I hope they crumble on their own corrupt dealings.

Something to hide?

“I don’t really care do you?”

Pffttt!

Its true. There is no evidence of a crime they are in search of one which is against the law. You can't endlessly investigate somebody hoping to find something they did wrong sometime in their life

So, in other words, that's where the crimes are hidden.

So let's see, cops need a warrant to enter your house, they need probable cause to stop your car, but these demorats want to go on fishing expeditions in a private company.

rnrfoto That’s adorable. 😂

Boys and girls, welcome to the oversight party...

Grow a set open your non cooked book's let the Country see the Truth or the $nake pit.!..

Means they don’t like what’s being found

Doesn’t matter if they’re clean. Business is seldom moral, but it damn well better be legal.

Heinzilla Sorry Charlie, that's not how it works

Boo hoo

And yet he sent many many people, bulshit, to Hawaii to find out about President Obama's birth certificate That's the real presidential harassment

Demanding 😂

Don't mobsters and criminals always say this?

Wahahahahahaha Phuck Trump!

More of—well what do you have to hide?

So the Trump Organization think they have the power to end an investigation?

What are they afraid of?

No way buddy. You are another: 'All the Presidents Men.' Kind of corrupt person at the WH. Must, absolutely must investigate alleged criminals.

Sniff Sniff- Poor little trumpers, You don't get it. The House is one part of the equal branches of the Government. What you want really doesn't matter. Maybe you should complain to El Presidente little hands.

Hahahahaha! You should worry about NY! They’re gonna take ALL your money! 😂

Trump Org CFO has been given immunity and former lawyer pled guilty to felonies. Seems clear which entity is “irreparably tainted”. TrumpFraud

Kinda like the mob calling for law enforcement to cease investigating it.

courageousgirl2 Weaaaak

Oh we got something here Trump “ Putin “ his pants. Turn up the investigation. Every newspaper should be on this now too

Too Bad!!! Keep moving on with your investigation

He can demand all he wants. The response will be eff you.

Does the term “fat chance” mean anything?

Officer, I demand you not look in my trunk! Because there's nothing in there, that's why!

“We demand you stop investigating the crimes we committed so we can do more crimes. We like crimes.”

Ahhhhuuuu to fucking bad!

Until they investigate Clinton Foundation Corruption...along with Uranium-one sold to Russia via of Obama Admin.

DEMANDING!!!!!

DNPnotMD Working the refs isn't going to cut it. That might work at the city or state level but you're dealing with Congress.

Prolly woulda been easier with a blind trust but noooo🙄

TRUMP says to US intelligence; I don't care what you say about nukes I believe PUTIN SERGEI LAVROV says TRUMP asked for advice on North Korea talks. LAVROV told TRUMP to give NK security guarantees. Um waat? THIS MF TRUMP is a RUSSIAN DOLL

Womp womp. Too much paper work.

SERGEI LAVROV says TRUMP asked for advice on North Korea nuclear talks. LAVROV told TRUMP to give NK security guarantees. TRUMP says to US intelligence; I don't care. I believe PUTIN THIS MF TRUMP is a RUSSIAN DOLL

joannalampert1 trump organization can't stop the House investigation into its illegal activities.

Show us your taxes you cheaters. Trump will be in Attica soon. Teflon Don. Donny Vlady can’t / won’t be helping you. He got what he needed hoser.

Well they wouldn’t be if the President hadn’t violated the emulates clause

PuestoLoco So do they want them to throw out the testimony of their CFO who received immunity, too? LOL. Sorry kids.

Please sir, have mercy on me....I’m an orphan, never mind I’m on trial for killing my parents... I’m just a poor orphan.

Oh poor baby

LOL

PuestoLoco

Not going to happen. Time for the Trump organization to be recognized for what they are....a major global criminal organization.

PuestoLoco What are they hiding? If they conducted legit business the books should be wide open and withstand the most intense scrutiny. This in anticipation of MichaelCohen212 testimony who knows where the bodies are buried. Cohen has Trump shitting the bed.

WOMP WOMP... If there’s nothing to hide what are they afraid of.

PuestoLoco 🤣🤣🤣

PuestoLoco This family seems to think that any illegal activity prior to Trump's decision to run for President can't be investigated or aren't 'real' crimes.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They meant to say balanced.

PuestoLoco Taint creates investigations, he has it wrong.

As irreparably tainted as the “Hillary e-mails” or “Clinton Foundation”🤔

Something is 'irreparably tainted' and it isn't the investigations.

If you're scared, say you're scared.

How badly can the Trump Organization be tainted when its entire business is money laundering, scams, and corruption... just saying

Bring it on

Oh please! Liar Trump do you really think anyone believes you

SDNY is who the last remaining rats at the TO should be worried about

Tee hee... 😆

Well this isn't surprising!!! So what is tainted It's Congress.... they have the Constitutional RIGHT, no DUTY, to investigate suspicious activity of our president. In this case his business.

Maybe if 45 had complied with the emoluments law the government wouldn’t have to investigate. notabovethelaw

Washington is evil and broken.

Stop using your hotels as government buildings and paying for the stay with tax money at marked up prices.

I am SURPRISED how long it took to come up with the idea that Trump's BUSINESS IS ALSO ABOVE THE LAW! I thought when trump told a CROWD they could ASSAULT people at random (if they were wearing Red Caps) I did not hear him provide ANY restrictions?

Tainted by the truth, wait that sounds like a song title.

What the hell is the trump organization crime family going to do about it. Tell daddy to stay out of politics cause he works for the people and the people want to know the crimes. So there’s that.

Lol!

Wow....they don’t like when THEIR own tactics are used against them LOL!

🤦‍♀️

Hail Mary?

HAHAHA realDonaldTrump tinpot dictator and his family of ignorants.

Sing Sing

Demands, huh?

Perhaps the trump org should stop its suspicious [criminal] activities and investigations won’t be needed.

Lmao

Thoughts and Prayers

Good luck with that BS Trumpeteers.

ha. they haven't even started yet

Lol

Here’s a thought—be honest on your business dealings, no investigation. This organization is a money laundering machine, a mob base, and nefarious. It’s about time it was investigated!

That’s a shame. You take care now. Hugs and kisses Bimbo Jones

Oh, well sorry, NOT!

1-I always thought there needed to be a crime in order to investigate but it appears the Dems have changed the rules so that it’s ok to investigate in search of a crime! That should be very concerning to all! I personally wound like to investigate all senators / congressmen to

😂😂😂😂😂

if you have nothing to hide...

the left might not be the bigoted cowards the right is, but there is a line, we will not become a dictatorship, for a bunch of maggots

Hmmm Whitewater might be a guide

Trump shouldn’t be forcing Republicans to choose fidelity to him or to the Constitution ForThePeople

Just teeing up their denials, I guess

That’s their job what do they have to hide 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Is this from SNL?

Boo hoo!

Elections have consequences!

Pelosi be like...nope. NEXT!

LMAO. Yeah umm... that's not how investigations work

Sounds to me like they are getting worried.

Hahahaha that would be a BIG NO!!!

'Have been irreparably tainted'= have uncovered criminality.

Exactly what you'd expect from a group of super rich white dudes who have never had to face a consequence for anything, once in their lifes. 'Consequences for our actions? Nonsense!'

Lol 'demanding' they should try begging.

So that's all we need to do when investigated? Demand it stops? Oh ok

🤣🤣🤣

Guess all those inquiries into Clinton's e-mail didn't 'taint' anything....? Karma
