They may not have the gavels yet, but House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of investigations into Donald Trump should they win control of Congress in November.
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif. — who’s set to chair the House Oversight Committee in a Democratic majority — told MS NOW that his team is “already preparing and gearing up.”
“We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on [Trump] family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE,” Garcia said. “Those teams are actively working on preparation, letters, research.”
Why investigate Trump at this point? Go after everyone around him with state charges. There are a bunch of criminals around him. Right now they are not afraid of doing crimes for the orange man.
It is hard to go after a federal official for state crime. They have a lot of immunity around official acts. And for good reason. Imagine a right wing state criminalizing something based on their agenda, then prosecuting Democratic officials to enact a nationwide right wing agenda based on those laws. It would be chaos.
