US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat, New York) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
I remind you that the case against Trump after his first term ended relied heavily upon classified documents secretly stored in Maralago, some of which were flushed down toilets.
The secret service communication devices and servers all got “accidentally” wiped once congress subpeona’d them.
If we give crooks time to prepare then they will successfully destroy evidence.
I agree with that point. I’m not sure legally what can be done about that with the standing Congress, as the majority aren’t going to do anything. Plus, who is in charge of implementing law enforcement? The Executive Branch.
