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.”
If they want to be trusted again they should investigate Bidens ignoring of the Leahy laws as well. we need to be a nation of laws again and that means going after everyone who breaks the law whether they are in your party or in office or not.
Everyone of every party who has supported this genocide belongs impeached, in shackles, and in jail. Our standing laws say so.
I completely agree, but I want to emphasize something. That “AS WELL” is putting in a lot of work in this sentence man…
You are insane if you think Trump will see any repercussions. At all.
You’re the problem. Politicians are lazy and greedy. If you tell them that you expect them to ignore us, and we’ll accept it, then that’s what they’ll do, and go back to their favorite pastime, insider trading.
Tell them that you expect them to punish all of MAGA, or they will suffer the same fate. They are either on our side or they aren’t, and we’re keeping track.
That’s what you should be posting. Not cowardly excuses.
Trump is 100% going to pardon himself. And I have little confidence that the courts will stop him. They will talk about history and tradition when it suits them, but I can totally see them making an exception for yet another unprecedented action.
You can’t pardon yourself. No president had done it, there is no precedent, we don’t have to accept it because a monster like Trump says so. Period.
And if he does manage to take away all options for punishing him? He will spawn dozens of assassins who will be gunning for him at every moment for the rest of his life. He will have to fear snipers, poison, inside jobs, rpgs, bombs, etc. every minute of his life, which will be terrifying for a coward like him. And hopefully, someone will succeed.
No president has done it and it certainly was not the intent of the pardon power. But it is not explicitly forbidden. Hopefully if he tries it it gets ruled against, but after SCOTUS made that horrible ruling about presidential immunity I have little confidence.
Trump getting away with a pardon and then getting assassinated is, in my mind, one of the worst scenarios. It martyrs him in the eyes of his cult. At the same time, it sets out legal precedent for a future fascist/authoritarian to pardon themselves for misdeeds in office. He’s an old man anyway and won’t last much longer. Let’s hope it does not come to pass.
Even if Trump doesn’t pardon himself, the next asshole will pardon him to “help heal the rift between two camps”.
No president, ever, has been held accountable for various corruptions and war crimes.
Look into Schmuck Schumer, too. He only cares about Israel and Insider Trading, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was MAGA bought. He couldn’t have been less effective if he was working for MAGA.
what kills me about Schumer et al is that i was always taught that dual loyalty is an antisemitic trope because it’s founded on essentialism. The idea that someone might hold a loyalty to another country over their own based on their ethnicity is an unjust assumption, and it hurts American Jews (and their communities, and by extension yourself, as a member of their community) because as a group they really just want to get by, same as anyone else. They are our neighbors and our friends, and they want whats good for their homeland just like you and me. Jewish Americans are just Americans who happen to be Jewish.
But it seems like everyone in the ruling class has decided that actually dual loyalty is part of being Jewish, and that actually you’re the antisemitic one for pointing it out, and that furthermore antizionist jews are antisemitic for their unjewish behavior.
