Look, we can all agree that conducting too much oversight looks kind of ... desperate. It's like, why are you so curious about Donald Trump's finances? Don't you have finances of your own?
On these grounds, the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee would like to distance themselves from all the efforts by the committee to subpoena Trump officials and conduct oversight into the president's finances and potential irregularities in the granting of security clearances. They have lives of their own, and they are being made to look bad by this weird fixation on the president's deeds and dealings.
