The Investigation Avalanche: Democrats Prepare Their Subpoenas

Sean Hannity (0:00)

Let me go to where the Democratic Party is headed.

And we warned you this would happen. It's happening. And it's only going to get worse. And this is them, they're not focused on quote, affordability. No, they're focused on investigation, investigation, investigation, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, and listen to them in their own words.

SPEAKER_2 (0:26)

We will not hesitate to go after the private corporations that are collaborating in all of the lawlessness with Donald Trump. And we've done it before, and we will absolutely do it again. There are major law firms in America, including Paul Weiss, that have capitulated to these coercive tactics by Donald Trump and have basically surrendered and made all kinds of outrageous concessions. We've sent a number of letters to those law firms, and they have been not forthcoming up until now. But when we have the power of subpoena, and we have the power to conduct oversight, we believe a lot of these law firms are going to be coming forward and telling the truth. Otherwise, they are law firms that have no respect for the rule of law. And we're going to make sure that they comply with the congressional subpoena. Just because you're no longer in the administration, whether your name is Susie Wiles, whether it's Kimberly Goldfoyle, whether it is Corey Lewandowski, whether it is Christine Elam, you are being investigated and there needs to be accountability in that space.

SPEAKER_3 (1:27)

There are so many criminals in this administration. It's hard to figure out who should be the order of operations. There are going to be many, many, many investigations. I imagine many subpoenas. And we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.

SPEAKER_4 (1:43)

Congress has a responsibility to serve as a check and balance on an out of control executive branch.

Sean Hannity (1:49)

All right, so when did Americans lose their right to have an attorney?

How is it that you have elected officials declare that people are criminals when in fact there's not even been a trial? Joining us now is Congressman Pat Fallon of Texas is with us. Let's get your reaction to all of that.

Pat Fallon (2:10)

Well Sean, I'm furious. I mean, this is insane. Like you were saying before and so many times on your show, they're taking a left turn on a left turn on a left turn. The courts have repeatedly said, like in 1957, Watkins v. the United States, you can't use congressional investigations to expose or punish people. That's what they're dedicated to doing and take them at their own word because words mean things and I'm going to believe them.

Sean Hannity (2:32)

Okay. So Congressman Garcia says, if you are involved in any way with the Trumps, if you're a part of an American business, you're going to respond to Congress. He's also specifically talking about lawyers that would represent people. I actually grew up with the idea that attorney-client privilege mattered.

Pat Fallon (2:56)

Yeah. I mean, when he said, well, there's 36 million businesses in the country and in some form or fashion, they probably have something to do with executive branch or the federal government and to sit there and say that you're going to just, if you know the Trumps, that you're going to be subpoenaed, this is for them, Sean, conservative priorities and policies, apparently equal lawlessness and corruption.

Label your political opponents criminals, as Ocasio-Cortez did, is just detestable.

Sean Hannity (3:26)

Okay, she said there are so many criminals in the administration and we need to be opening investigations into the heads of every single one of these agencies and we need to hold them accountable. Now, I don't recall during this recent campaign that Democrats ran on that platform.

I recall the word affordability being mentioned over and over and over again. How do you think the public will react to all of this?

Pat Fallon (3:56)

I think they're going to overreach tremendously. Like you said, they didn't talk about this at all during the campaign. They did mention affordability, but you know what? We should have countered better with the fact that we have inflation was at 9.1% under Joe Biden. We have an affordability issue now because the way they spent literally trillions of dollars they printed and they put into the money supply. They didn't inject that. We wouldn't have the cost.

Quite frankly, President Trump reduced inflation dramatically. And they didn't talk about any of this lawfare and weaponization until post-Tuesday results. It was their plan all along and it was premeditated. And they will, my prediction is they will overreach and they will turn the American people off and in 2028 will do very well.
