Democrats Warn Trump Administration to Preserve Records and Evidence

The Midas Touch Podcast is sponsored by ADT. Hey, this is Brett from the Midas Touch Podcast. I actually use ADT in my own home and it gives me so much peace of mind, especially with a one-year-old and my pup in the house. There's already enough to think about every day, so home security is one thing I really don't want to have to worry about. One of my favorite parts is the ADT Plus app. I can arm or disarm the system and check live camera feeds right from my phone, no matter where I am. And there have definitely been nights where I've gotten into bed, realized I forgot to set the alarm, and instead of getting back up, I just arm it right from the app. It's super convenient. ADT offers customizable systems that can be professionally installed, and they have the most company-operated monitoring centers in the industry, helping protect your home 24-7. Their technology can also help first responders locate you faster in an emergency. For me, it really comes down to trust. I use ADT, I trust ADT, and having that protection gives me one less thing to worry about so I can focus on my family and actually enjoy those little moments at home.

Democratic leaders in the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees are putting the Trump regime officials, current and past Trump regime officials, on notice. They are being warned. We are coming for you. Now, Democratic House Oversight Leader Garcia and Democratic Judiciary Committee Leader Jamie Raskin are leading the charge right now of the aggressive oversight that will be taking place. Congressmember Garcia posted this photo right here. When they go low, this is me. And Garcia's saying, I'm prepared to be in the gutter to drag you crooks and criminals and feast off your flesh is basically what Congressmember Garcia is saying. He's also continuing to respond to Hannity and all of these Fox propagandists like the House Oversight Dems account says, yes, Sean Hannity, we are coming after them. We're coming after the corrupt billionaires and politicians ripping off Americans. Cope, cope, cope. Also, the House Oversight Dems posting, good morning to everyone except the Trump crime family, crony corporations ripping off the American people, corrupt Trump regime officials profiting off the presidency, associates of Jeffrey Epstein, Corey Lewandowski, like the incoming chairman, Robert Garcia keeps on saying, lawyer up. And Congressman Garcia keeps on saying, lawyer up, lawyer up, lawyer up. And when you had Stephen Miller appointed as the chief of staff, Congressman Garcia put out a statement right away saying, you know who needs to lawyer up? Stephen Miller, because we're bringing him down. We're subpoenaing him. Just because you're the chief of staff doesn't give you some sort of immunity. Lawyer the hell up, Miller. We are coming after you. That's what Garcia is saying, to which you even had Todd Blanche, the attorney general, say, the chief of staff, Stephen Miller. He already has a lawyer, the attorney general of the United States and the Department of Justice. We're his lawyer. You're actually not his lawyer. The Department of Justice is supposed to be the lawyer for the United States of America, not a specific person. But thanks for putting that on the record because that admission right there is going to screw you over in a lot of court proceedings now when you try to assert various deliberative process privileges, executive privileges, when you try to claim attorney-client privilege. It's going to be very clear that this is all pretext and that it is waived and that's what Democrats are going to argue. So thanks for posting that, Todd Blanche. You really show what a dumb idiot you are and what a terrible lawyer you are and why you've also run the DOJ into the ground. But thankfully, your corruption, your criminality is matched by your incompetence and the whole world knows what a terrible lawyer that you are. But Congressman, Congressman Garcia told me he's staffing up with the best lawyers who have their knives out and are ready to freaking go. Lots of DOJ officials who you fired, top lawyers who used to work at those big law firms who bent the knee. They're all lining up to help Congressmember Raskin in the House Judiciary Committee and Congressmember Garcia in the House Oversight Committee. They have a resume of the top talent that there is. Tens of thousands. They've talked about it. They've told me. So I am looking forward to that. Now, on the House Judiciary Dem side, that's Raskin side. Raskin will be the chairman over there. Here's what they posted. As America's new Congress gets ready to launch real oversight over this lawless president and the entire executive branch and all of the corruption flowing through and around them, we offer this word of advice to the wise in both the government and private sectors. Don't start shredding documents, deleting emails, or engaging in any other kind of obstruction of justice or destruction of evidence. It will make the matters a lot worse for you in Congress and in the courts. For anyone who has worked with MAGA and Trump to obtain no-bid contracts, no-bid government contracts, presidential pardons, special tariff exemptions, and other regulatory and policy favors, don't compound your problems by trying to cover it up. You may call it a quote, revised document retention policy. We just call it obstruction and evidence tampering. So does the U.S. Criminal Code. And guess what? The statute of limitations lasts longer than two years. So what, you're going to beg Donald Trump for a pardon? Corporations, is that what you're going to try to do? You're going to line up? Because a future presidential administration is going to prosecute you. The tech bros, the crypto bros, everybody who was lining up there to get themselves special favors, the House Judiciary Dems are coming for you right now. And here's what the House Judiciary Dems also posted after Harmeet Dhillon, the former head of the DOJ civil rights. She was the head until she resigned two days ago. The civil rights division within the DOJ. Also, John Eisenberg, the head of the National Security Division at the DOJ, he resigned. And Jason Redding Quijones, who was in charge of Donald Trump's so-called grand conspiracy prosecution. Quijones was the United States attorney for the Southern District of Florida. And he was like an ultra MAGA extremist. He resigned as well. So the message from the House Judiciary Jerry Dems, let Harmeet Dhillon. and every official in this administration be on notice. Resignation does not excuse you in any way from your legal duty to answer for your conduct before Congress and the American people we represent. Preserve all your records, destroy none of them, and prepare to testify truthfully under oath. You all are going to get smacked with subpoenas.

Let me go back to it for a moment of Attorney General Todd Blanche, because he was on Laura Ingram. You know what? I want to show you this photo first that we posted on the Midas Touch Network. Then I'll get to Laura Ingram. Here's a photo of former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell's booking photo. In 1977, he became the first ex-Attorney General to go to federal prison. Serving 19 months for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury while covering for a corrupt president. Just leaving this here for everybody to see. So you had Todd Blanche and the White House official rapid response account amplifying Todd Blanche on Laura Ingram. So Blanche was like, could you believe that just minutes after Stephen Miller was appointed Chief of Staff, Democratic Congressmember, Garcia's like, I'm coming after you. Lawyer up. Todd Blanche, the AG's like, what's up with that? What's up with that? To which the Oversight Dems account says, triggered? Are you triggered? Congressman Garcia said, while we have your attention, when are you coming to testify under oath about covering up for the Epstein files, Todd Blanche? Or are you too scared to come in? Then the official House Oversight Democrat account says, don't be scared. Don't be scared, Toddy. Don't be scared. Here's what Todd Blanche said on Laura Ingram. I'll show you. This is from the rapid response 47 account reposting this. This is the official White House account posting this. Let's play. They're being extraordinarily transparent in what they want to do. And it shouldn't be a surprise to anybody, any Republican, anybody who lived through the past several years before Trump was reelected. And this is, it's so disgusting to see them not even wait until the week is out before. They're actually laying their cards on the table. I mean, you have Garcia saying minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to be the chief of staff to the president of the United States of America, telling him to lawyer up. Well, I'll tell you what, Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me. It's me in the entire Department of Justice. And so I wish that they would worry about their cities. I wish they would worry about governing and legislating and working with President Trump, who said on Tuesday night, he said, I hope that we can work together. And he would work with them. He's a dealmaker, but they have already started with what we all expected, which is that all they want to do is investigate and go after anybody who has done anything to support this administration. When he was on Laura Ingraham, she asked, so I don't know, Garcia seems pretty serious. Are you lawyered up? And he's like, why would I be lawyered up? He's like, like lost it. Why would I be lawyered up here? Watch him score and play this clip. Mr. Attorney General, their impeachment list is growing. At first, we thought, oh, they're not going to really impeach, but clearly they are. They're going to do investigations and try to find anything to justify impeachment, open up inquiries. And you're on the list, too. I'm not sure for what, but you're you're high on their list as well. Do you already are you already lawyered up, Mr. Attorney General? I have not lawyered up. No, I have not. And, you know, again, this is are they going to replay what they did last time around? That did not work out well for them. But if they want to, if they want to spend the next two years, if they want to spend the next two years not moving forward as a nation, not working with this administration to make our streets safer, to help the economy grow. You just put up numbers, Laura, at the beginning of your show. We have we have such great things happening in this country that all of their constituents could capitalize on. And yet they're talking about impeaching people. I mean, it's it is so disappointing and sad that what happened on Tuesday will result in them doing this. Then Todd Bland says, All they want to do is investigate. It's so unfair. Here, play this clip. Hope that we can work together. But Laura Ingraham's like, yeah, but like in the last 24 hours, a lot of your top lawyers have resigned. Harmey Dillon, the guy in the Southern District of Florida, your other top lawyer on security issues. Is that bad? He's like, no, this happens all the time. No, it doesn't. It doesn't happen all the time. By the way, you've lost thousands and thousands of top DOJ lawyers, or you've pushed them out because of your criminality, because you've turned the DOJ into a criminal racketeering enterprise that promotes covering up child sex trafficking rings and that works for the criminals. It's a mafia racketeering protection ring is what the DOJ is right now that even beyond the presumption of regularity that has been lost, that's the least of how judges look at it. The judges look at you all, Blanche, and your whole crew as a bunch of thugs, as a bunch of crooks, as a bunch of grotesque creatures. That's how courts view you all. You're gross. You're disgusting. Mr. Attorney General, the last 24 hours, three of your high-ranking officials have resigned. Harmeet Dhillon, head of civil rights, is one of them, and I know a couple of others as well. What is, I guess it was Jason Redding-Cuñones, John Eisenberg also out. These are figures that are very familiar to legal circles in D.C., nonetheless, very senior officials in the department. Why did they resign, and is this in any reason a cause for concern for the department? Well, no, it's not a cause for concern for the department. I put out statements today about all three of them and about a lot of folks that have left. It's not just them. Working in any administration is a huge sacrifice for everybody, for their families, for them. The hours are long. They are working very hard. They did great work, and there comes a time when it makes sense for them, for their own reasons, to move on. They'll keep on working for us. I don't expect that just because, you know, Harmeet Dhillon is leaving the administration, she's going to stop fighting for the causes that she believes in, that she's done her whole career. And so this happens all the time. This happens in any administration, and we'll move on, and we're grateful for the work that they gave President Trump and us, and we'll keep on working.
