Trump Has a Secret Plan to Evade Accountability. Will Dems Defeat It?
A New Republic article by Brian Beutler and Greg Sargent reports that Democrats won a landslide larger than any since Watergate—over 250 House seats and at least 54 Senate seats—but are openly divided over how aggressively to use their powers against what they call Trump's world-historically corrupt administration. The authors predict Trump will ignore subpoenas and stall in court, and urge Democrats to deploy impeachment promiscuously, use the power of the purse to defund agencies obstructing investigations or waging the Iran war, consider inherent contempt, and form Fight Caucuses to enforce cohesion.
