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.”

    I completely agree, but I want to emphasize something. That “AS WELL” is putting in a lot of work in this sentence man…

        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.

          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.
