Rep. Jamie Raskin, in line to chair the Judiciary Committee, characterizes issues as 'gargantuan' but emphasizes the need to 'zero in quickly on the forms of systemic corruption' where legislative remedies exist, suggesting Democrats will prioritize Cabinet impeachments over impeaching Trump a third time.
“We need to zero in quickly on the forms of systemic corruption that have cost the public huge amounts of money, and where there are legislative cures available.”

I know it’s a moral victory, but some senior Democrats are already saying this would just add to the public perception that Washington wastes time on partisan things that don’t benefit the public. This is a very important point and they're smart to be considering it. Unless they're positive they can get the vote, they shouldn't bother. And even…

It's sad the the Democratic leadership can't be trusted to do any of the things they are promising here. It's clear even from this piece that they're afraid to impeach Trump again. They will go after the tiniest fish and try to use those extremely modest results in 2028 to show that they should be reelected. # USpol https://…

Let's just get rid of all of them. Throw all of them in prison and distribute every dime they have to the American people for wasting our time with their games.

There is no way this administration will agree to any oversight. They will not cooperate, they will destroy evidence and they will all be pardoned.
