Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I am the only candidate to propose an independent DOJ task force to investigate crimes by Trump administration officials. Every Democratic candidate must commit to it—so Trump officials know they will be held accountable by career prosecutors once he is out of office.

1. It needs investigating, but it's no longer possible for there to be

an "independent" anything coming from this DoJ. Barr would make sure it was not independent and would squash it like a bug. The only organization that has a chance to do a truly independent investigation is the House Judiciary Committee.

2. She meant under her administration. Everyone knows nothing will happen while 45 is in office.

3. I'm assuming any Dem candidate will want to do that.

Not to detract from Warren, but it goes without saying that this shitpile has to be investigated regardless of whom we nominate, we have to insist on it.

5. As she says, none of the other candidates have called for independent investigations.

Until they weigh in on the matter, we should not assume they support investigations into the executive branch.

6. Then it should be demanded of them. Maybe the question will come up

in the next debate. There's a whole lot of investigating that needs to be done.

7. I agree they should be asked but the media no longer asks relevant or tough questions.

Well, unless the questions are about MFA.

9. It does not go without saying.

The Bush Administration was let off the hock, despite Biden saying their crimes would be investigated with a fine toothed comb.

4. And she means it!!!! We need Elizabeth Warren in 2020.

We really need her.

8. I like it!

10. She is exactly correct to persist in calling them "crimes"

I'm not hearing that enough from most politicians

11. Won't happen, but needs to be said

Over and over and over.

12. Whoever Wins the Presidency

Against IQ45 should take over on November 10th to keep the moron in chief from continuing his criminal behavior. (One week after election results).

We must do this. We have to prove we are strong enough to make this happen. We have to prove this to ourselves and the World.

It worked in Puerto Rico!

13. I have heard this said before, I know Congress holds purse strings, but how can they defund DOJ this

way? Would they have to wait until the next appropriations bill?
