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.”

    Ya, none of them will actually pay any really consequences. Very good argument for limiting the pardon power of the president.

      Trump has pardoned people who were already serving long prison sentences. He pardoned that SEAL who cut a kids throat who probably would be a prison cell for life now. And he is flirting with pardoning the only person to go to prison for Epstein Island.

      Yeah I’d be fine with limiting that shit.
