I have been yearning for one of the candidates to propose this. I think it’s vital:
Elizabeth Warren says she’ll create a federal task force to investigate corruption during the Trump administration if she’s elected president.
The Massachusetts senator on Tuesday released a plan that her campaign says will “restore integrity and competence” to government after President Donald Trump. She said that an independent task force would operate within the Justice Department and hold the previous administration’s officials “accountable for illegal activity.”
Warren also plans to ask for the resignations of all Trump political appointees and void any federal contracts that “arose as the result of corruption.”
“The next president will need to have the energy, expertise, and vision to safeguard our country, rebuild the government swiftly, and make fundamental changes so that it works for the American people,” Warren wrote in an online post unveiling the proposal.
It’s time to play the blame-game. Letting these Republican miscreants off the hook from Nixon on is what brought us here.
Every Democrat must be asked if they will sign on to this pledge. Otherwise, I truly fear that Trump’s criminal and unethical behavior will be the new GOP baseline. Every time we let this stuff go in the past that’s exactly what happened.
