We Should Make Good On a Suggestion Once Made By California Congressman Eric Swalwell

 

This is a picture of a magnet that was being sold at Strand's Book Store in New York City a few years ago. No, I did not buy it, but I liked it and took a picture, which I am sharing here now. 

"I don't say this lightly: when we escape this Trump hell, America needs a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president."

~ California Rep. Eric Swalwell (D)

This was something which was suggested towards the end of Trump's first term.

Obviously, it did not happen. But it should have.

Right now, we are dealing with an even more extreme Trump administration. This time around, the MAGAlomaniac surrounded himself with "Yes" people. These are people who will simply not stand up to him, and will offer him only unconditional support and praise, no matter what. In short, there are no guard rails this time around, for Trump's second term in office. 

Still, what Swalwell suggested was the creation of a presidential crimes commission right after President Donald Trump left office the first time around. Swalwell focused "in particular at the president's reluctance to fund the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) amid concerns over the delivery of mail-in ballots."

Swalwell suggested that Trump sabotaged the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) in order to assure an election win in 2020.  

However, it feels like there is just so much more which Trump and his enablers are guilty of now. Especially in this second term, with a seeming complete absence of any kind of guard rails or limits this time around.

Once we finally do get this blatantly corrupt and incompetent man out of office, a presidential crimes commission really should be set up and target those who enabled King Con Don and his relentless, dictatorial grab for power. We simply have to make sure that there are no other aspiring dictator wanna be's who are eagerly awaiting their turn to try and empower themselves and line their overstuffed pockets at the expense of the taxpayers, not to mention American democracy.
