“It is not for the court to question whether the Committee’s actions are truly motivated by political considerations.” Judge Amit Mehta wrote in a ruling Monday. “Accordingly, the court will enter judgment in favor of the Oversight Committee.”

It is also well know that for recent law school grads aiming to go into politics, its much easier to make a name for yourself/climb the social/career ladder on the rightwing than on the left wing, and mainly bc the the rightwing is so void of actual talent. Just a bunch of demagogues and hacks that use weak logic to push their inane political view points.

What makes these mother frickers think they have a right to someone's business financials?
They are the Congress of the United States and they are granted the power to perform investigations and issue subpoenas.
The question is what kind of narcissistic maniac thinks they are above the United States Congress.

Judge Apu's ruling won't stand. They didn't even need to hold a hearing to know how it was going to come out.

Please give me an historical example of a congres seeking financial records of other presidents for any reason.
It’s unprecedented.

So you think they should have unfettered access to anyone's personal information for any reason whatsoever? No wonder you people love authoritarian regimes via socialism

Of course it will. The ruling is absolutely correct.

No one needs you or a lawyer to see what NCTigah clearly expressed what happened after reading the abc news article (seen below)

In the case before Mehta, Trump and his business organization sued the House oversight committee in April in an attempt to block a subpoena issued to Mazars USA, an accountant for the president and Trump Organization. Trump's lawyers argued the subpoena "has no legitimate legislative purpose" and accused Democrats of harassing Trump and wielding their new majority in Congress to try to stain the president's standing.
But House lawyers told the judge that the Constitution gives Congress broad powers to investigate and that it doesn't need to tie an investigation it is undertaking to a specific piece of legislation it is considering.
Mehta, who was nominated to his position by President Barack Obama, suggested during the hearing that Congress has wide latitude to investigate. He told Trump lawyer William Consovoy that there isn't a case since 1880 where the Supreme Court or an appeals court found that Congress overstepped its boundaries in issuing a subpoena.
Douglas Letter, an attorney for the House, told the judge that "President Trump has no chance of success here." And he said Trump has taken the position that Congress is "just getting in his way" of running the country.
Mehta did suggest to Letter that the subpoena does seem to be an effort to get into Trump's private affairs. And he asked Letter whether there are any limits on what Congress can obtain. Letter acknowledged that there are some outer limits, suggesting a request for the president's blood or his diary from when he was a child might be too extreme. But he said the subpoena for financial records is clearly permissible.
The judge seemed to be looking to resolve the case quickly, though he said he would accept additional materials this week.
"We're not going to drag this out," he said at one point.
