If POTUS threaten to create an oversight department or utilize DOJ to investigate the elected officials who use their power or tax payer money to make troubles go away.
That way may for them to back off on the smear campaign operation.
There are many times the POTUS used the crisis that they created to go against them..
I hope this time the same.
Since they can successfully force a FBI investigation for mere allegation without any evidence, can we ask the POTUS to order the FBI to investigation Ellison, who is running for state AG?
"Show me the man, and I will show you the crime." (even for the crimes that you didn't commit.)
This is what the D doing right now.
