Subpoenas before naming a crime: that is what incoming House Democrats are promising the Trump administration in January. Subpoenas "like Mardi Gras beads," said Representative-elect Analilia Mejia of New Jersey. "Lawyer up," posted Rashida Tlaib. Not one of them named an offense. Jenny Beth Martin opens with the White House counsel's letter to Congressman Robert Garcia, the Democrat expected to chair the House Oversight Committee, and the line the Supreme Court has drawn since 1957: Congress may investigate to write laws, not to expose and punish people. Paul Teller, who served in President Trump's first White House and spent years working on Capitol Hill, explains how to tell real oversight from a fishing expedition. Co-host Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action, joins for the full hour. Also this hour: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says impeaching President Trump is on the table and takes a shot at the Supreme Court; five incoming Democratic Socialists will not commit to Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker; a Senator-elect wants Medicare for All; and Senate Republicans reelect John Thune with 52 days left in the majority, the SAVE America Act still not law, and judges still waiting. Then Mississippi, what last week's election should teach conservatives, and the Democratic Socialists of America opening their search for a 2028 presidential candidate.
