The law firms you mentioned, we know that there were many heroic law firms that have stood up against all of the lawbreaking and then the attempt to shake them down for the time of their partners and their young associates. And yet there are major law firms in America, including Paul Weiss, that have capitulated to these coercive tactics by Donald Trump, and have basically surrendered and made all kinds of outrageous concessions.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;ve sent a number of letters to those law firms,&#8221; he continued, &#8220;and they have been not forthcoming up until now. But when we have the power of subpoena, and we have the power to conduct oversight, we believe a lot of these law firms are going to be coming forward and telling the truth. Otherwise, they are law firms that have no respect for the rule of law, and we&#8217;re going to make sure that they comply with the congressional subpoena. It is the exact same legal force as a judicial subpoena does.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If this were not serious, it would be comical. First of all, the &#8216;affordability crisis&#8217; was the result of former President Biden&#8217;s policies on energy and the excessive spending and government employment glut that took place during the Biden administration. As soon as the Democrats impose their &#8216;green energy&#8217; policies, the cost of energy will increase and will not go down again. Secondly, how is investigating anyone and everyone even tangentially connected to President Trump going to help with the &#8216;affordability crisis&#8217;? Many of us understood that the &#8216;affordability crisis&#8217; was simply a talking point to get votes from uninformed voters. I wonder how those voters will feel when they discover that the Democrat Congress will be raising the cost of living&#8211;not lowering it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, Townhall posted an article containing a quote by U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin concerning the Democrats&#8217; plan to deal with America&#8217;s &#8216;affordability&#8217; crisis.
