Jasmine Crockett says impeachment will be on the table if Dems take power and she becomes chair.
Interviewer:
“Let’s say you are elected as ranking member and the Democrats take the House and you become chair of that committee. Would you pursue impeachment?”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett:
“I would absolutely at least do an inquiry. Absolutely. I mean, I think that there is more than enough to inquire about. You know, we know what we don’t know. We still don’t even know.
I brought up Elon Musk a little bit earlier. We don’t understand what all they were doing, what kind of deals were even made for Elon to be given this amount of privilege. The firing of the inspectors general—you know, he went in, next thing you know, inspectors general that were investigating Elon, they’re getting fired.
And then the pressure that he’s put on various organizations—we saw that the merger with Verizon was able to take place only once they said ‘no diversity, equity or inclusion.’ We know that they have put a ridiculous amount of pressure and seemingly are trying to pull back resources from the likes of Harvard because Harvard decided that they were going to push back against his illegality.
We know that he’s shaken down so many of these law firms for free legal fees because he’s going to need them. Because the one thing that we know is that he likes to violate the law, whether it’s criminal or civil.
So these things need to be fleshed out, and we need to fully understand. And in fact, that’s the Trump stuff. And the reason I bring up the Trump stuff is because there is one committee in the Congress that has the authority to actually do oversight over the President. It’s the Oversight Committee. It is the only one that has that ability.
And so, I think that we need to make sure that we do it. I think that, no matter what happens, history needs to know the truth.”
