House Oversight Democrats have demanded Elon Musk's FBI background check information as they are investigating Musk for conflicts of interest, drug abuse, and ties to China and Russia.
I've written both of Virginia's Senators asking that they investigate Musk and his business interests especially after Musk dismantled the agencies looking into his business dealings. Connolly has nothing to lose and if Dems are smart enough to pass the baton to Crockett, she will be tenacious in getting the investigations up and flowing. If the agencies don't cooperate, NO Dem should put any effort into this big ugly bill that Slump wants
Jason, I'm aware; however, they have influence . I can't get anything from the evertrumper sychophant who's representing my district - feckin' Ben Cline. He won't even return calls or answer my letters
They can request there be an investigation, they can also broadly publicize that the Republican majority refused to investigate corruption. They can build an extensive paper trail so that Republicans have to defend ignoring corruption and when the majority flips the investigations can begin.
My American history knowledge is spotty due to history teachers. What I know about the Civil War & other major conflicts in 20th century, I have learned on my own. One civics class in high school. 2 political science classes, but again, spotty. "Today I was...yrs old when I found out..." has been used more than twice in the past # of years. This item is kinda rocking my world right now. And how abt "entering the USA illegally is a MISDEMEANOR (very LOW level, don't stress, just deal asap).🫢😦😵💫 Moral outrage demonstration PLS, FFS Grrrrrr! Aaarrrrrggghhhh! That's the 1st time in awhile that Cheeto pranked me. 🤮🤮🤮
It's about time really doesn't apply to this one. As a general reminder, just because you don't hear about something, doesn't mean it's not happening. My story today is an expansion of an investigation that began 2 months ago into DOGE.---Jason
Good to know this is being done, but I have little faith that their requests will be met with candor by anyone in this administration. More likely, a private investigator is in order, and in cooperation with investigations by other nations!
It really doesn't matter what the administration does today. It is all about laying the foundations for when Democrats have power. The expectation is that the administration will ignore the document requests. When Democrats have power, they can sue for the documents.--Jason
I don't think the Democrats should be telegraphing their intentions this early in the game. There is much to be said for keeping the opponent off guard.
It’s also possible that if Musk recognizes that he is at risk of losing all his government contracts (and a significant portion of his personal wealth) he might choose to flip on the Trump administration.
He likely knows things Trump doesn’t want to become public.
This investigation has been going on for months. It started as an Oversight Democratic Committee members investigation of DOGE. Remember, Democrats don't have the power of the majority, so their own investigations are more informal and take longer.----Jason
I think it is the right thing to do. However, Republicans won’t provide anything until Dem’s have control. By then documents will probably disappear. So right now it is important they ask so they can continually follow up & share results with a megaphone !
Part of the reason for Hegseth and others using Signal is to avoid freedom of information ACT. That act requires all documents be kept available through the Library of Congress. Signal deletes automatically.No record to keep! Or so they believe. Don't think for a second that most of the Regime's coordinated efforts are not being coordinated thru SIGNAL.
Thank you Shannon for reminding me of that information. There is so much going on. It helped when you restated what was originally shared when signalgate started. It is about deception, no accountability and making sure there is no proof.
He has raped and pillaged America for his benefit. Now it is the beginning of his day of reckoning. He isn't going to be flying so high when the Democrats take back Congress. Can't happen soon enough. Let the process begin!
It's about time. They have to get back all the laptop that the dogE kids used to gather our data. If he has a master server that too must become government property. He must be sued to recoup all funds he's stolen from our Country and HIS CONTRACTS VOIDED, WITH SPACE X, AND STARLINK BEING TAKEN OVER BY OUR GOVERNMENT. HIS NEURO KINK MUST BE UNDER STRICT OVERSIGHT BY MEDICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERTS. NO HUMAN TESTING!
HIS US CITIZENSHIP SHOULD BE STRIPPED AWAY AND AFTER BEING DETAINED OR IMPRISONED FOR THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED DEPORTED NEVER TO RETURN
Laptops, and all external hard drives, and flash drives. Not to mention their Cloud files as well and websites they set up. We're way past the time when laptops were all we needed to worry about. Yeah, dump his ass and those kids. El Salvador could always take them.
The result may surprise us, as this administration is disconnected from what each other says in interviews, disconnected from what they/someone else in the Cabinet said yesterday, and disconnected from the reality of contradictions and consequences. There may be another major tech leak or two, that leads to Musk, and many others, equally embroiled in the level of corruption that such hubris creates. They are a mistake-making crew, unnprepared, untrained, inexperienced, who use ego-revenge to jump start actions that they do not understand and cannot complete. Information may flow.

Senators in the minority can't launch investigations. The Senate rules prohibit it. The Senate minority has no investigative power.----Jason

I have the same in Ohio. Moreno has answered me once. Husted has never answered. So much for caring about the people and Ohio.
They can request there be an investigation, they can also broadly publicize that the Republican majority refused to investigate corruption. They can build an extensive paper trail so that Republicans have to defend ignoring corruption and when the majority flips the investigations can begin.
When laws are being broken, they need to file charges and INVESTIGATE!!! Since when have the MAGAS followed any rules or the rule of law,??

Committee assignments are important
They could cross tracks with something appropriate
It’s about time

He is a thief and a liar. Bring him down.
And "Doge" has just tried to shut these agencies down. Couldn't possibly be a link?

Yes, they can sue for documents. But I’m not confident they will be “available” or unaltered. This is one unscrupulous admin!
Not investigating Musk rigging the election was the weakest moment of Harris and the Democrats!!!
Great news!!!!!!
I don't think the Democrats should be telegraphing their intentions this early in the game. There is much to be said for keeping the opponent off guard.
Maybe.
It’s also possible that if Musk recognizes that he is at risk of losing all his government contracts (and a significant portion of his personal wealth) he might choose to flip on the Trump administration.
He likely knows things Trump doesn’t want to become public.
They will discover the wholesale corruption within all of the Trump 2 admin.
Maybe enough to keep digging back to Trump 1
Just saying
This is all about the first stages of building a case that should result in Musk losing his government contracts.---Jason
What has taken so long???
This investigation has been going on for months. It started as an Oversight Democratic Committee members investigation of DOGE. Remember, Democrats don't have the power of the majority, so their own investigations are more informal and take longer.----Jason
Exactly!
Please send him to jail for ALL the destruction he’s done to America! 🇺🇸 let’s get some of his billions to fix what he’s destroyed!!
I think it is the right thing to do. However, Republicans won’t provide anything until Dem’s have control. By then documents will probably disappear. So right now it is important they ask so they can continually follow up & share results with a megaphone !

He has raped and pillaged America for his benefit. Now it is the beginning of his day of reckoning. He isn't going to be flying so high when the Democrats take back Congress. Can't happen soon enough. Let the process begin!
Amen 🙌

He is going to flee the country.
I’ve believe he has an escape plan. When things get to hot, he’ll disappear.

A glimmer of good news
