I guess my question is....these are senior Senators whom Trump is obviously their political foe. They re NOT part of Mueller' team. They hold influence in appropriating money to Ukraine. Is this proper and aren't they implying how to investigate with a quid pro quo.
There is a huge difference between a legitimate on-going authorized investigation into a sitting President and a secret investigation into a private citizen who is the political foe of the President.
Congressional oversight over the office of the President is one of the checks and balances built into the Constitution. This letter was just them doing their job. That has nothing to do with a President using the power of his official position to investigate private citizens who is his political opponenet.
