White House counsel Will Scharf, in a letter to incoming House Oversight Committee Chair Robert Garcia, says Democrats’ repeated public threats to use their new majority to investigate the president and his administration could cross constitutional limits — and amount to illegal threats.
[SOURCE]
At the heart of the White House’s complaint is a legal requirement that congressional subpoenas must be rooted in a clear “legislative purpose” and can’t be used simply to harass or intimidate.

I think we are seeing the first example of a new attitude reflecting hard nosed Miller instead of the Wiles “go along to get along” BS. I don’t think Susie-baby would have ever allowed Scharf to write and send that letter.
So glad she is finally gone.
Manipulative COS disguised as a quiet, shy, non attention seeking gray haired woman.
That letter should have been sent to Obama in 2016.
“a strongly worded letter” indeed¡
Yes!
Oh yes, the sternly worded letter. Good luck with that.
The democrats can and will punish everyone in this administration and ancillary companies and donors without consequences. I am 76 years old and have never seen a democrat pay a price for any bad acts.
It’s a sternly worded letter warning Garcia and others of some of the legal arguments that the administration will make when it challenges the subpoenas up to SCOTUS.
I wrote a few sternly worded letters in my practice of law, and this was well done. Citations to support the administrations position was a nice touch, too.
You’re right that the Democrats never seem to pay a price for their bad acts. But right now, the administration is going to fight back, stall, and delay…and then when 2028 rolls around, “What did the Democrats do about ‘affordability’?”
The prize is the White House in 2028. The Dem nominee will have to justify the last two years, including the expense. “The Russia hoax investigation cost $25 million and produced nothing. How much did the Dems waster on this? What could it have been spent on?”
With Miller replacing Susie baby, maybe a few prices will be paid going forward 🙂
Retired Magistrate here: Yes, I agree with your assessment 100%.
Hopeful and thankful that the White House is fighting back. But how does it matter what voters think about “affordability” in 2028 when the swamp owns the outcome of the elections?
Let’s see what VSG has to say about securing elections in tomorrow night’s national address.
What schedule are you seeing that shows a speech tomorrow night?
It was reported on today’s Defending the Republic emailer.
National address? Did I miss an announcement?
This clip is labeled in today’s Sidney Powell newsletter as referring to a national address, but President Trump only refers to an announcement, so we shall see: https://x.com/HQWhiteRabbit/status/2118672954988826958/video/1?t=20.
Where is this supposed announcement from President Trump? I’m not on Truth Social but is this actually from him? I do not know who White Rabbit is but there doesn’t appear to be any official announcement from the White House about any kind of national address tomorrow?
He refers in the Oval Office clip to a “big announcement” coming tomorrow about the need for clean elections in our country. So we’ll see.
That is old not current. There are so many blatant lies and disinformation on X it’s shocking. Now I know how they accomplished the election win.
Thank you! This is why I ask so many questions on here, which I know annoys some people, but I do not want to share information that I have not verified, because it destroys MY credibility, which matters to me!
The Trump administration apparently intends to lawfare the oversight process, shoving in their faces what they have been shoveling. If legislative purpose for a subpoena isn’t spelled out to the admin’s satisfaction, then it gets a maximally delayed letter back instead of compliance. Then Oversight tries again, and gets another letter. The courts get involved, more delay. Meanwhile our President remains straight ahead with his agenda while the economy takes off and soars. How long before Congress realizes their powerlessness to slow down the people’s national security priorities (which include elections) when a people’s President is Boss?
Well, I’m as worried about the Islamization taking over the country as I am anything else
Just another pandemia, like in Europe.
That will happen only if we let it. We have to play hard ball 24/7. These people are extremely patient and disciplined and have a long range plan to conquer us. We can’t let that happen under any circumstances. This is our country, a Christian nation, ordained by God.
Well, I’d say their long range plans have been shot to hell. We see them now.
“We caught them all.”
Hellary reportedly said “We will all hang from nooses” if Trump wins. Well he DID win, THREE times in fact, but nooses is a bit of a stretch.
Now we have firing squads for treason.
The demons in Washington just stole the 2026 election, as they did the 2020 and 2022 elections. The Dem nominee will have to justify absolutely nothing. It’s the Zero playbook..don’t talk about it, it didn’t happen, and oh, look, the American public is perfectly fine with their VP being Al SAYED!
Yes. That’s my point.
And how soon we forget. Remember when not a single dumocrat stood during The SOTU address when asked to stand for Americans first? Don’t all those people who “voted” dumocrat remember any of that??? Not only are they forgetful fools and idiots; they are ALL assholes.
You mean the pink and blue haired ballot mules?
And they didnt stand for murder victim Iryna Zarutska who was murdered in a hate crime.
They want to cut all our throats!
Don’t forget 2018. In each instance both parties participated.
I’m not willing to support the “stall and delay til 2028” strategy.
I don’t think that’s what President Trump’s plan is, but, if it is, the 2028 election will make 2026 look like a Sunday School picnic.
And our constitutional republic will be dead and buried.
Agreed.
If the silly voting process is not dealt with before the 2028 elections it won’t matter how screwed up the Dems have been.
🎯 🎯 🎯 !!!
It must be dealt with now! Its better to have it out now than wait until they get stronger.
Agreed….sternly worded letter with consequences. I’m betting on PDJT….looks ll8ke hes5 on was footing. EO13484…Dec 18, we will know.
Every stupid statement a Democrat has made has been recorded and documented for presentation to the Supreme Court and the Democrats won’t be able to deny it. The oversight will be stayed pertaining to each or those statements. Thank god we have more than the three worthless, demented, liberal ladies (and I use the term very loosely) on the Supreme Court.
Agree. The only way to save the Republic is to elect a solid President who will VETO everyting Democrats pass.
i hope this isnt to distract us and make us feel they are fighting, as the house and senate got handed over
Thank you, Wethal, for all your legal explanations. You will be extremely busy in the next 2 years keeping up with the questionablr, if not downright illegal, shenanigans of the Dems!
I can think of just one: “Gold Bar” Robert Menendez is sitting in prison.
Me either, I just turned 62. The left infuriates me. And correct none are ever held accountable!!!
I think thats why they are getting bolder and bolder.
There was that Dem Wilbur Mills who lost his chairmanship of House Ways and Means after his bad boy act. Some Dem actions get a slap on the wrist🥸
AI:
The politician you are thinking of is Wilbur Mills, a powerful Democratic Congressman from Arkansas.
While a few details are slightly misremembered over time, the infamous 1974 scandal matches your description:
At the time, Mills was the longtime chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee and was even considered a potential presidential or Supreme Court contender. Although he actually won re-election a month after the incident, he ended up appearing on stage with Foxe at a Boston burlesque theater shortly afterward—which quickly led to him losing his chairmanship, checking into treatment for alcoholism, and retiring from Congress in 1977.
73 here…no meaningful consequences on any major politician or major political crime…see CIA
At 82, I think I might remember one…maybe two.
Obviously, you and 90 other people here don’t know the difference between sternly worded and strongly worded. Sarcasm aside, Wethal below nails it.
Bullshit. We will see nothing. Letters mean zip. Where is the deportation of Omar? No where. Where was the prevention of another stolen election? No where. Where is the arrest of every governor and mayor of sanctuary states and cities? No where. The list of no where’s is exhausting. This dog, as smart and gracious as it is, simply will not hunt. If anyone disagrees, please show me the facts. Platitudes will be ignored.
Jim Jordan advised them to send a stern letter 🙂
Every time someone complains, letters from Jordan.
Dontcha know each cloud contains letters from Jordan
You’ll see those letters fallin’ all over town.
Because the USA’s turned upside down.
Letters from jordan? Is that like pennies from heaven?
🤣🤣🤣
Keep in mind who keeps Jordan propped up, Hannity, Levin, Fox News, etc.
If we can’t deport the known illegal alien named Kilmar Garcia, then the democrats certainly won’t allow us to deport Omar. Republicans are weaklings and kowtow to the democrats all the time.
If anything is going to be done to her, it has to be before Jan 3, 2027!
I hope …somebody does something…..to her.
The process has already become a legal matter. Congress can do nothing to stop it.
So far so good……
I’m glad to see so many Treepers referencing “The Sternly Worded Letter Gambit.”
It shows that people on our side are more aware than ever of RepubliCon shenanigans and are not impressed.
Having said that, if this lawyer feller actually sues the pants off Conrade Garcia, count me officially impressed.
Bringing an intimidating stare to a gun fight.
Internet winner of the day!
Republicans in Congress likely are coming to the conclusion thats it’s best to let the beast run wild, hopefully showing Americans that in two years it’s probably best to try Republicans again. It seems like it’s all they have…
Been saying the same thing. Let the TDS run rampant for 2 years, accomplish nothing, and prove their lack of value and worth to the idiots who voted for them.
I’m hoping for the same thing but you are assuming that votes matter. I don’t think they do. It’s the counting that matters.
The problem is, will there be anything left worth saving in two years. How many times do we need to hear the give us the house,senate and Whitehouse speech before we figure out it’s ALL BS and both parties work for globalist inc.
They already ran wild with Biden. And somehow got 19 million new votes???
BS!!!
It’s a great letter and he is not wrong in anything he says…BUT, the proof is in the pudding and thus far the follow up on going after anyone has been sorely lacking! We can only hope that the new era under Stephen Miller is going to go scorched earth after everyone who has thus far escaped any consequences for illegal actions!
Hmm, strongly worded memo. PDT was clearly being harassed constantly for no legislative purpose during term one. And term two for that matter.
I doubt the memo will stop the rats at all.
No, it won’t stop them, but it is a “You will bitterly regret starting these fights” letter.
When Garcia warned Miller he should “lawyer up,” AG Branche replied that Miller didn’t need to hire lawyers because he already had them – the United States Department of Justice.
I loved his salutation, Thanks. I always hate Sincerely in this type of situation
That..and referring to them as “Honorable.”
Oh you mean that pesky document our country was founded upon…it won’t stand in the way of the demonrats. Time and time again the republicrats prove that the demonrats are above the law by their inaction to hold them accountable and their uncanny ability to ALWAYS bring a knife to a gun fight.🙄
Well, the White House Counsel is lawyered up. I just added fifteen new lawyers to staff.

Thanks for the message but cannot open the link.
Hit the “continue to X”
Thanks.
I understand that the newly elected need to be sitted to swear that they would follow the Constitution. What happens to those that officially declared that they ready to not follow the Constitution?
Those supported by Muslim brotherhood are told to lie if it gets them to their goal.
Death to America.
I hope that Miller vetted all 15 of them.
That was fast.
PDJT is a businessman at heart…
Under budget and ahead of schedule….
Time is money.
This is nothing more than virtue signaling to placate their base.
Is this really what the Democrat voters wanted when they voted on November 3rd? What was that about the cost of living, health care, etc.???? Do what people put you in office for instead of going after the Trump administration and their supporters!
It’s what they think they voted for but they’re definitely not going to get that! higher taxes, open borders and crime will come before anything the voters want.

So the hypothetical software is basically malware to cement their electronic cheating and it’s possible the hack was a test run to ensure connecting and implementation
The election machines must be eliminated through national emergency and collected and destroyed
Elections are now mute and void from here on out. WTF
They was the psyop they did with the propaganda campaign. They used the illegals registered as legal votes. Early voting this time. No Weeks on end counting to see how many they need
TDS at its finest….they would rather ‘rule over the ashes’…
Because its not just MAGA that paid all the high prices, its everybody…
And
I just finished a mandatory CEU for nursing…cultural diversity, bias and disparity is alive and well in health care.
I’m glad I finished my 40 year nursing career before the cultural diversity and DEI ruined the profession.
I am in the Philly tv broadcast region and with all the democrat political commercials I would say yes this is what they voted for. We saw two specific types of commercials. One was using the issue of affordability and how they will solve the issue without say how they will solve the issue, just empty words. The other calling everything a republican does or says is corruption and they will reign in and hold the corrupted Trump administration responsible because that’s justice.
Same commercials a thousand times a day here in Az. Every dem candidate same message and practically no rebuttal from the Rinocrat party. It almost looks like they wanted to lose badly in the midterms.
I also delighted to see Q Wiles out at last. One of Trump’s smartest post midterm moves. Now to find a great press secretary like Dana White.
Unfortunately, it won’t just be the commie congress that goes after our people, there are several States AG’s that will also be hounding everyone associated with the Trump Administration, campaigns and donors.
They will go way too far and there will be backlash.
Like the party of Satan even cares
Often we look so long at the closed door that we fail to see the door that just opened for us.
……………..Helen Keller (paraphrased)
Hum…I don’t suppose Miller is going to play nice with these Jackasses.. They think so too.. The jackasses already complaining about it and looking for someone that can match his verbal skills with an empty pool to choice from.. Then this “notice” stop talking beyond your means just to hear yourself brings a happiness to my heart.. I feel better already … Thanks Sundance
We Will STAND!
Stand for TRUTH!
We Will continue to TRUST THE ALMIGHTY!
In all my many years, this has never been seen! These people are truly brazen! Actually evil.
May The LORD have Mercy upon us, AMEN
Good time to read more of the Bible.
More than before.✝️🇺🇸🙏
I am certain the Dems are shaking in their shoes!
VERY good article: Peggy Tierney’s deep dive into the election and what we/the president can do…and dont forget about the AI agents (fake people) that can vote
https://tierneyrealnewsnetwork.substack.com/p/democrats-registered-20-million-new?utm_source=substack&publication_id=728707&post_id=223805548&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=true&r=1cwnik&triedRedirect=true
Yes share that around. Everything from this election is laid out
Harshly worded…
Letter
Excellent letter. I wonder what the recourse is, on the side of the Administration. Legislators generally have standing to sue the executive branch when they allege that due to illegal executive branch action, they have suffered concrete injury in their capacities as legislators. I wonder if the reverse is true, as well.
Nice tidy letter. Beware the beast that bares its fangs but does not growl.
This behavior by the Democrats is proof of why semi-illiterate ideologues should never be elected. We have a serious education problem in this country. This is a prime example.
What the Democrats want is obviously Lawfare. No charges. Just monetary harassment. Using the courts to cost targets as much as possible, get as much bad press as possible (which the MSM will gladly provide), and drain the coffers of the Republican party who defends them.
If we have a court system that isn’t as corrupt as Democrats, this will all be thrown out and those bringing these politicaly based charges will be behind bars themselves. I’m not holding my breath.
You would think the SC would take a stand against junk lawsuits the Democrats have promised to file. I doubt they will. They haven’t so far. Can’t see that changing now.
Considering that they wipe their asses with the Constitution, the communists will just shrug, laugh, and do it anyway.
Why?
Why not?
The opposition party (they are no longer Republicans in the classic inheritance of the abolitionists and American system movement that created it) their payoffs. That’s it.
Folks, the lines are no longer hypothetical, imaginary, or anything remotely distant. The Constitution IS gutted. It is now nothing more than a tool that is being leveraged to destroy the very nation that gave birth to it.
At least, hopefully, they are getting out in front of it.
This assumes Democrats have any respect of the Constitution, laws, proper procedures, or even principles of rectitude.
They do not.
They are usurpers and brigands.
And unless treated as such they will prevail.
This is akin to Mike Tyson saying …everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth’
The citation of Watkins vs United States. The supreme court’s 6-1 opinion was in favor of Watkins. The opinion was infringement of due process within the 5th Amendment.

Unfortunately the “judges” in DC have repeatedly shown themselves to be corrupt and lawless and willing to use their position in order to advance their left-wing agenda. This is another failure of the Congressional GOP … it is literally the responsibility of Congress to ensure that judges are not abusing their position and are obeying the law and the Constitution. But we have seen far more presidents impeached then judges, even though the bar for judicial impeachment is much lower.
it seems a large % of these democrats doing the lawyer-up threats are foreigners. This is how they do things in the 3’rd world. There is no understanding of Western legal foundations, just fascist brutes.
I would next send some marshals into his chamber and deliver a cease and desist and a supoena to appear before a marine tribunal These commies are above our laws. Time to treat them as what they are
Course, there is the problem that the R Senate has only confirmed 12 of the 94 US Marshal positions and the DC Marshal is not one of those confirmed. So we have 82 +/- ‘leftover’ Marshals from Biden that hire/fire/direct the 3,900 +/- Deputy US Marshals.
Same problem with the US Attorney positions–Only 48 out of 93 positions have been confirmed and they hire/fire/direct the 6,300 +/- Assistant US Attorneys.
I wish that letter was sent during “Russia Russia Russia” when our duly elected President and his administration was illegally spied upon and continuously harassed by lawfare operatives in all branches of government.
Our President was convicted of spurious charges and twice impeached with the intent to prevent him from carrying out his official duties within the peaceful transition of power codified under the US Constitution.
Such behavior is unprecedented in the history of our country and must be dealt with severely as the Constitution allows to punish seditious and treasonous enemies of our Republic, both foreign and domestic.
William Scharf, Esq. is an attorney I’ve always liked. IIRC It’s only within the last few months that Present Trump moved him into this possible. He knew what was coming and Scharf is too honorable to stab PT in the back or undermine him. Between Scharf & Miller, I’m actually hopeful they will take action as notated in the letter, spcedifically against those named.
PDJT needs to say no. No to a repeat of 2018 when D’s pushed hoax investigations and hoax impeachments. That everyone knew were hoaxes. PDJT should’ve said, “nope, not playin’ that shit” in 2018 and ignored subpoenas and contempt charges – just like Obama and Biden administrations. And he should say “nope, homey don’t play that shit” again. Been there, done that.
Give them the middle finger. And power through. It is the only reasonable and prudent course of action.
I think the saying better late than never will prove true in this case. I just hope Miller keeps throwing punches so hard and landing causing knock outs.
I get it that the White House wants to limit the time the Dems will force them to waste on senseless hearings. But the letter guarantees that even the stupidist, least experienced Dems will cloak their punitive “investigations” in “plausible legislative” pretexts before the fact. I would have preferred letting them throw up a bunch of crap that’s easily shot down, along with their credibility.
J’accuse! J’accuse!
Just like Madame Defarge. The Jacobins.
Do you really think AG Blanche and FBI Director Patel are going to do anything to fight the left’s efforts to harass Trump and his administration? Not likely.
Why are you Americans picking on Andy Garcia.
I like some of his work.
Who is picking on Andy Garcia?
Or are you joking around?
Maybe you’re thinking of Jerry Garcia.
He’s the former Mayor of Long Beach, Commiefornia. I have good friends who are residents of Long Beach who have had personal interactions with him when he was Mayor. According to them, characterizing him as a “two-faced liar and a jerk” would be an understatement.
Sounds like our goat really put his ducks in a row for the final dance. The art of war in its final victory! May the good Lord extend his grace in 2026!
I do love and respect this letter!!
Steven Miller is a “Wartime Consigliere”…and, make no mistake, this is war.
Putting this in writing is part of building an official investigative process. The democrats won’t be able to attack anybody without exposing themselves to prosecution for interfering in a federal investigation. That’s a good way for a newly-minted congressman to be stripped of their office and a fair chunk of dough in legal fees.
In other words, this is the Trump admin setting the stage for a legal bloodbath that the US hasn’t seen since the build-up to the civil war. Last time, the dems went to war to keep their slaves and avoid federal regulation. Today, the dems are beating the war drum over their illegal aliens & H1B indentured servants and, again, federal regulation.
