Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) will chair the powerful Oversight Committee if Democrats win back Congress and he is already lining up targets for a potentially massive investigation of Trump and his administration.

Politico reported:
Excited by the polls, Democrats have been fantasizing about all the investigations they’ll launch when they control Congress, the way they’ll swamp the White House with more requests than a staff that’s already stretched thin—one likely to see more departures after November—will be able to handle.

Cummings is prepping targets—from the security clearances of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, to digging into how former EPA chief Scott Pruitt was able to keep his job for so long—and the list is getting longer by the week.

Trump Isn’t Going To Know What Hit Him

Trump’s White House is already understaffed and under siege. There is a reason why so many people who work in his White House are heading for the exits after the midterm election. If Democrats take back the House, the dynamics of the American political process are going to change in an instant.

Trump is going to be hit with a tsunami of investigations. His free ride with no congressional oversight will be over. There will be no more House cover-up to protect him and his corruption. Democrats are going to hit the ground running if the blue wave turns out at the polls in a month.

It is all so close, but none of it will happen unless Democrats vote in November.
