That would make it difficult. And shame on them.The Interior Department inspector general’s office has dropped an investigation into whether the Trump administration pressured Alaska GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan over their health care votes.
[...]
Deputy Inspector General Mary Kendall wrote that her office “does not believe it could meaningfully investigate the matter further” because Murkowski and Sullivan declined to provide statements or be interviewed.

Yeah, I'm guessing they'll pretend they never even considered doing that.President Donald Trump is promising billions to help Texas rebuild from Hurricane Harvey, but his Republican allies in the House are looking at cutting almost $1 billion from disaster accounts to help finance the president’s border wall.
[T]here’s only $2.3 billion remaining in disaster coffers.
[...]
The pending reduction to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief account is part of a spending bill that the House is scheduled to consider next week when Congress returns from its August recess. The $876 million cut, part of the 1,305-page measure’s homeland security section, pays for roughly half the cost of Trump’s down payment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.
So, what I'd like to know is why the F has Congress not called itself back to work, considering all they have on their plate, and now this unprecedented disaster in the Gulf that needs immediate attention?By late September, lawmakers will have to pass one bill preventing an unprecedented federal default and another averting a government shutdown.
Trump has belittled congressional Republicans in recent weeks, particularly Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, leaving relations with his own party dicey.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
