Speaking to reporters Tuesday, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) said Trump was “conducting one of the biggest coverups of any administration in the history of the United States,”... House Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said House Democrats are prepared to up the ante on Trump. Hoyer said on MSNBC’s MTP Daily, “Let me tell you what is not a bluff. We’ll continue to do our duty. We’ll continue to have oversight hearings. We’re going to continue to ask for documentation and the testimony of witnesses that we believe are relevant, in particular, to the Russia investigation. The fact that Russia may have cooperated with, worked with, had information from individuals in our country to undermine our democracy is a critically important issue and tend to continue to look into that and get to the bottom of it. We also are going to go where the facts lead us. That’s our responsibility. That’s our duty. So if this is a poker game, we’re going to ante up.”
Donald Trump is picking a fight that he will not win. He is not going to sucker Democrats into doing impeachment on his terms, but Democrats are going to use their oversight powers to check a corrupt president.
