They may not have the gavels yet, but House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of investigations into President 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.”

The House Judiciary Committee is the other panel set to play an outsized role in accountability efforts. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland is expected to serve as chairman. Raskin told MS NOW that “the political and financial corruption at the heart of the Trump presidency” amounts to “a civic emergency.”. “We need to go directly after that corruption, to expose it, and to do whatever we can to stop it as quickly as possible,” Raskin said.

Over the past several months, Democrats on both committees have announced investigations or requested documents on a variety of matters — offering a glimpse of what their likely targets will be in the House majority. So far, those targets have fallen into a few categories: alleged self-enrichment by the Trump family, alleged retaliatory prosecutions by the Department of Justice, the issues and delays related to the rollout of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, and accusations of private corporations kowtowing to the administration.

3. That's fine. They will also need to put forward economic policies that go beyond the status quo.

We will need to convince people that we are going to make a difference in their lives.

4. Investigate all of them, and do it separately apart from being in Congress, and do it in a court setting. Crimes have

been committed, thefts have occurred, harm has been done to numerous people denied their rights and property.

6. Good

Now the dipchit media can cue up their endless stories about how "Voters are tired of the investigations" & "Voters want Democrats to move on" & "Voters sour on Democrats spending so much time going after the criminals from the previous administration." It'll be back to the endless voter-in-a-diner segments, trying to find a way to bash Democrats.

7. Hope we can make progress

I fully expect Trump to order DOJ not to enforce subpoenas from Congressional Democrats.

8. Don't prepare the repugs for anything that will happen after tRUMP is gone. I want the repugs to suffer every

little bit of indignity, every little bit of discomfort, every little bit of embarrassment as more idiotic things are revealed about the complete occurrences in the tRUMP administration. Every arrest, I want it to be filmed nationally. Every trial, I want it broadcast, every stupid muttering, every stupid thing that these thugs did, I want broadcast in broad daylight.

What I don't want is a Garland mess-up or a Garland hide the evidence etc. deal.

9. A cleanup will definitely be needed.

Like a bad car crash, with burnt out cars, debris and human bodies everywhere, cleanup crews will move in and do a big cleanup.

Going to take a while.

10. Make it so

The only bad thing about all the investigations is they won't get any other work done.

11. They damn well better be!!!!!!

[Earth Bound Misfit]

12. A good start.

We need to take dominant control of the House & Senate + Presidency in '28 and jam thru a la Moscow Mitch a fire breathing liberal LION as AG, not another milquetoast "Let's look forward" one like Garland . Then act on the investigative findings on DAY 2 (let day 1 be about the inauguration). Indictments within 3-6 months, and if they include corrupt Dems as well as Repugs, so be it.

13. I wish they would do so quietly

I fear some percent of voters will be turned off by this. It's necessary, but the focus ought to be on how to better people's lives in real and meaningful ways. To some, talking about preparing for investigations may only seem like the goals of the Democrats are focused on vengeance rather than enriching people's lives.
