House Judiciary Committee Democrat Calls For Multiple Criminal Investigations Into Trump

Source: PoliticusUSA

Johnson said on MSNBC, "I think there should be a criminal investigation undertaken by the relevant justice department authorities wherever they may be. Depending on where the misconduct or alleged misconduct occurred. They need to investigate. There needs to be criminal investigations. But also, the United States house of representatives has to undertake a steady and cap it off with recommendations as to what we can do to prevent the kind of abuse of our constitution that this president levied upon the constitution and the rule of law. It's important that we uncover everything that he did, let the American people understand what happens. They shore up the democracy and to make sure that it can't be attacked."

There needs to be criminal investigations, simply because this must not stand and because we know he and his ilk have pressured other states to commit election fraud on his behalf.

But that is where the focus is right now. (That's a hell of a thing to be able to say about a "presidency", isn't it? "This is the criminal behavior we're looking at today.&quot

It's outrageous that it happened at all, let alone so blatantly (which is actually a blessing for the Republic), but next time, it could go much differently, and by "differently" I mean much worse.

I don't care if he's 15 minutes away from walking about the door, let alone 15 days. The hammer must come down hard, and be an example so firm and so painful that it gives others pause...because without that, this whole exercise is just pointers on technique.

OMGWTF

It's not enough to just make sure it doesn't happen again; as long as people get away with their crimes (Reagan, GHWB, GWB, Cheney, et. al.), the flogging, fleecing, and fkery will continue.

Call them whether they’re Ds or Rs!!

To the Dems: tell them to get on this. Or ask why they haven’t yet.

To the CONS: tell them they BETTER get on this because we’re taking names and keeping tabs. And we’ll know whose seat(s) we will flip in two years. And trump WON’T help you, either!!!!!
