Democrats want Trump out from the White House. They’re already hatching their plans to do so.
And now the impeachment of President Trump has heated up with what this radical House Democrat announced on the news.
Democrats’ Impeachment Obsession Heats Up, Crockett’s Latest Crusade Against Trump
Democrat Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett has thrown her hat into the ring for another round of impeachment theater, vowing to launch an inquiry into President Donald Trump if she ascends to the chair of the House Oversight Committee. Her comments, made during an appearance on “Inside Texas Politics,” reveal a fixation on Trump that seems to drive Democrats to distraction, perpetually chasing the specter of impeachment rather than focusing on governance. Crockett’s eagerness to probe Trump’s every move suggests a party still unable to move past its animosity.
Crockett’s path to the Oversight Committee chair hinges on her election as ranking member on June 24, 2025, and a Democratic takeover of the House in the 2026 midterms. Should these stars align, she’s made it clear she’s ready to dive headfirst into investigating Trump. “I would absolutely at least do an inquiry. Absolutely. I mean, I think that there’s more than enough to inquire about,” she declared. Her targets include Elon Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump’s alleged pressure on institutions like Harvard, and his supposed strong-arming of law firms. It’s a laundry list of grievances that feels more like a vendetta than a coherent strategy.
The congresswoman’s accusations against Musk are particularly telling. “We don’t understand what all they were doing, what kind of deals were even made for Elon to be given this amount of privilege,” she said, pointing to the firing of inspectors general allegedly investigating Musk. The implication is that Trump is orchestrating some shadowy scheme, but Crockett’s rhetoric leans heavily on speculation rather than evidence. It’s the kind of vague, conspiratorial framing that Democrats have leaned into repeatedly, hoping to cast a wide enough net to justify their endless probes.
Crockett also took aim at Trump’s influence over corporate and academic institutions. “And then the pressure that he’s put on various organizations — we saw that the merger with Verizon was able to take place only once they said no diversity, equity, or inclusion,” she claimed. Her assertion that Trump is bullying entities like Harvard, which she says is “push[ing] back against his illegality,” reeks of hyperbole. It’s as if Democrats believe every decision they dislike must be rooted in some nefarious plot, a mindset that fuels their relentless pursuit of impeachment.
The law firm angle is another curious fixation. Crockett alleged, “We know that he’s shaken down so many of these law firms for free legal fees because he’s gonna need them, because the one thing that we know is that he likes to violate the law, whether it’s criminal or civil.” The accusation is bold but light on specifics, painting Trump as a cartoonish villain who bends entire industries to his will. This kind of rhetoric plays well to a certain audience but risks alienating those who see it as another example of Democrats crying wolf.
Crockett’s justification for this potential inquiry hinges on the Oversight Committee’s unique authority. “And the reason I bring up the Trump stuff is because there is one committee in the Congress that has the authority to actually do oversight over the president. It’s the Oversight Committee,” she said. Fair enough, oversight is part of the job. But the fervor with which Democrats like Crockett approach this duty suggests less a commitment to accountability and more an addiction to political warfare, where impeachment is the weapon of choice.
The timing of Crockett’s comments is notable, coming on the heels of the death of Democratic Virginia Representative Gerry Connolly, the Oversight Committee’s ranking member, on May 19, 2025. Connolly, who had been battling esophageal cancer, announced in April that he would not seek reelection. His passing has opened the door for Crockett’s ambitions, and she’s wasting no time staking her claim. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly political opportunism can fill a vacuum, especially when it’s cloaked in the language of “duty.”
Crockett doubled down on her intentions during a May 25 appearance on “Alex Witt Reports,” promising that the Oversight Committee would dig into Trump’s affairs if Democrats regain the House. “As someone who serves on the Oversight Committee and hopes to lead the Oversight Committee, I can guarantee you that we will do what we are supposed to do as constitutionally sworn members of the House,” she said. The constitutional high ground sounds noble, but it’s hard to ignore the pattern: Democrats seem to view oversight as synonymous with impeachment.
She went on to list specific areas of scrutiny, including whether Trump “has violated the Emoluments Clause as relates to say such things as getting a $400 million plane from the Qataris.” She also vowed to examine “all these business deals that they have going on.” It’s a familiar playbook—throw out a litany of allegations, from foreign gifts to murky business dealings, and hope something sticks. The approach feels less like a search for truth and more like a fishing expedition designed to keep Trump on the defensive.
While Crockett frames her inquiries as a quest for accountability, the pattern of behavior—endless investigations, impeachment threats, and overheated rhetoric—suggests a party more interested in settling scores than addressing the nation’s challenges. The accusation of Democrats being guilty of Trump Derangement Syndrome seems to fit.
