Tantrum. but also putting a target on merrick garland and jack smith. we ve seen what your colleagues, and some of the committees who served in congress, have done to alvin bragg, over whom they have extremely tenuous oversight roles. he s a local prosecutor in new york. how do you anticipate what it could happen from the committee to serve on, with house majority, dedicated to defending donald trump. should there be an indictment from the department of justice? one thing we ve learned over the past seven years following donald trump, the place that he wants to avoid more than anything is a courtroom. where he does not control the narrative. it is not a pr battle. there are rules, there are laws, there are facts. there is evidence. he does not get to dictate any of that.
Against mayokas. i know secretary mayokas is watching this. this committee will lay out the case against you, sir. about to arrest you for louisiana revised statutes i would. i m see to it that you have plenty of time in the course of your remaining life to remember the names, the 200,000 americans who are dead because of fentanyl coming across the border that you have blown wide open. harris: power panel. lee zeldin former long island congressman and new york governor candidate. patel new york congressional candidate. congressman, i will come to you first. higgins said i would arrest him if i could. does he have grounds for that? can they really go after mayokas? no, not from the standpoint of powers of a prosecutor. congress does have important oversight roles.
Certainly judiciary is, as somebody said to me in the eye of the storm, and if you ve ever been in the eye of the storm you know the clarity that comes, the daylight that comes, so i m glad i m there in judiciary. but i believe the other five committees have important oversight roles as well. this is a heavy lift what we re doing here. sadly, there s too much to look at. there s damning evidence of the indecency, the corruption, the cruelty of this administration. and so it s all hands on deck. i honor the work of the other committees and the chairs and how thought fully they re moving forward as well. do you worry that delaying this decision on impeachment congresswide, that that actually the longer you wait may start to look more political? they re making a political calculation about when or if to begin the inquiry? not if we do our jobs right. if we do our job and prove to the american people that we are doing this lawfully and by way of process and not leaping to
look, absent some specific information that he or one other member of congress would have shared this classified material with the president, that probably is more than just an ethical matter, it would be a criminal matter. again, we don t have any evidence. this is speculation on the part of mr. mccabe suggesting that do you understand might have somehow leaked this to the president. could it have happened? absolutely. but absent some kind of credible evidence, i don t think anybody could proceed with that type of investigation. also coming out of that exhaustive new york times report, on the length that is the president went to influence and stop the russia investigation is also how other republican members of congress coordinated a pr push to discredit the russia investigation, but also beyond that even coordinating with the president on it and using their oversight roles in congress to do so. let me read you one graph from
President trump. he now has very powerful position heading the judiciary committee. he calls what andy mccabe laid out the conversations between him and rosenstein about possibly wearing a wire or invoking the 25th amendment, a bureaucratic coup. he wants to subpoena them to learn more. do you agree with graham on it is with the subpoena here? there is not a lot of guidance or parameters around what congress is allowed to do with their oversight roles. it s not really for anyone else to say, i suppose. if they want to take a look at this, they certainly can. the issue is what they were doing it appears from what we heard from mccabe and others is they were kind of batting around options to deal with what they were seeing as a president who was taking a series of steps that caused them great concern. we know they opened the investigations into the
