Memo: Team Trump Insists Dem Probes Could 'Boomerang'

Republicans close to President TrumpDonald John TrumpSanders pledges to support the Democratic candidate in 2020. CNN's Zucker: Fox News is a "propaganda media" Warren struggles to gain ground against the Sanders push MORE insist that the polls of the Democratic Congress come back to haunt the opposition party.

Camp Trump claims that the Democrats will play with the president if they submit him, his associates and his family to a barrage of endless investigations.

Their theory – vigorously contested by the president's detractors – is that such actions would reinforce Trump's argument that he would be subjected to unjust attacks.

David Bossie, Trump's deputy campaign manager in 2016 and someone who stays well connected in his orbit, said that the recent decision of the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jerrold NadlerJerrold (Jerry) Lewis NadlerTrump President should not underestimate Jerry Nadler's house and investigations. Tlaib joins the protest calling for the removal of Trump PLUS (D-N.Y.) Looking for documents from 81 people or entities showed "that they will do exactly what the left wants them to do – attack the president every turn".

Bossie also predicted that "if the Democrats derogate, the American people will see it. They are very intelligent. There will be a boomerang. "

Trump himself argued that Democrats are engaged in what he calls "presidential harassment" – a phrase he tweeted again on Friday. He seems to use the term in a manner similar to his attacks on a special advocate Robert MuellerRobert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud Mueller's choice to lead the investigation on RussiaThe investigation is a "witch hunt".

But Mueller's investigation proved resilient, in terms of public opinion, despite the assaults of the president. A recent survey by Quinnipiac University indicates that 54% of registered voters believe that the Mueller case investigation is fair – exactly double the 27% who claim it's unfair .

Democrats' investigations may be more vulnerable, by their very nature, to the accusation of partisanship and tendancy.

But Democratic strategists and some outside analysts insist that the danger of backtracking is low, at least for now.

Many voters will see in the Democrats a long-awaited effort to hold Trump accountable, an effort that was absent during the first two years of his presidency, when Republicans held a majority in both houses of Congress.

"They certainly do not go too far. They are fulfilling their constitutional duty, "said Allan Lichtman, professor of history at the American University, author of a book advocating the removal of Trump.

Joe Trippi, a long-time Democratic strategist, complained that "for two years, Republicans were under surveillance, they had never taken this responsibility seriously enough to require anyone to produce it." documents, let alone 81 ".

House Democrats are fighting against Trump on several fronts.

Nadler's committee is one of the largest in the world. It is about obstruction of justice and abuse of power. His panel would also be the starting point for any effort to dismiss Trump, although Nadler himself pointed out that they were far from any decision on this issue.

It was widely reported that Neal was preparing an official request to see Trump's tax returns, which the then-candidate had refused to reveal during his 2016 campaign.

But while Democrats and other Trump critics argue that all these issues are valid and necessary, the president's supporters see it as a calculated effort to put him on notice for much of the rest of his term.

"They are trying to deprive him of his resources to get things done by creating this monster investigation," said Ron Bonjean, a Republican consultant who has worked closely with the White House in the confirmation process of 2017 for the Supreme Court Judge Neil Gorsuch.

Even loyalists like Bonjean recognize – at one point – that the political dynamic could change abruptly, depending on whether or not the Democrat-led committees discover damaging information.

"It can [change] but that depends on what it is, "he said," the Americans have been insensitive to these political accusations in recent years. "

Bossie, the former deputy campaign manager, denied the fact that Trump was "frustrated" by the probes at the moment, but he acknowledged that the president would need a prominent team to fend off the pressure against him.

"He must be ready for what Democrats bring, and must be the best team around him to defend Congress's drift again," said Bossie.

He added that it was "a work in progress. Are they ready today? I do not know the answer. Will they be ready? I think they will be. "
