House Democrats scooping up staff, lawyers to power Trump investigations

A recent committee job posting reviewed by CNN asked for legislative counsels with a variety of expertise: "criminal law, immigration law, constitutional law, intellectual property law, commercial and administrative law (including antitrust and bankruptcy), or oversight work."

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee needs lawyers, too, posting jobs for "executive branch investigative counsel."

The advertisements give a window into the Democratic recruiting that's ramped up ahead of the party gaining subpoena power for the first time in eight years when it takes over the House in January.

I suppose I could just Photoshop some and apply as an R staffer. Actual authenticity doesn't seem to be a thing for them. I wouldn't even have to actively sabotage their work. It would be enough just to be my usual putz self.
