Raskin on Line Between Oversight, Revenge: ‘There’s No Line’, ‘Line Is Essentially Between’ Before and After Tuesday
Breitbart ^ | 11/09/2026 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 11/10/2026 12:31:16 PM PST by DFG

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) responded to a question on where the line is between oversight and retribution by saying that “there’s no line” And “The line is essentially between everything that happened on Tuesday after, from what happened before, because the entire Trump Department of Justice has been based on the principle of revenge and retribution against Donald Trump’s enemies.

Raskin interrupted, “No, there’s no line. We’re all –.”

Keilar then finished her question by saying, “accountability and retribution?”

Raskin answered, “The line is essentially between everything that happened on Tuesday after, from what happened before, because the entire Trump Department of Justice has been based on the principle of revenge and retribution against Donald Trump’s enemies. 19 different grand juries have refused to bring charges against people that they wanted to bring charges against. We’re talking about James Comey, Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA). It just happened the other day with Cassidy Hutchinson. It happened to one of my constituents, they tried to set up on the Reflecting Pool job. Again, nothing like this in American history has ever happened before. We’re not going to engage in any retribution. We’re not going to engage in any revenge. That’s not our vision of criminal justice, much less is it our vision of the legislative role. They’re projecting their complete public philosophy of the Justice Department onto us. We don’t engage in retribution and revenge. We uphold and defend the rule of law. If they engage in criminality, if they engage in corruption, they will be exposed and ferreted out. If they’re engaged in the rule of law, they’ve got nothing to worry about.”

What Trump Department of Justice? Please tell me a single democrat who has paid a price for their corruption and evil. Democrats just bold face lie and their “defense attorneys” in the propaganda media let them get away with it.

A bullet-proof response...

Nice accusation.

Now please articulate any crime actually committed.

No, no, not more accusations instead of evidence, articulate a crime that was actually committed.

These people are rabid.

It is a shame that they don’t have a leader who can say, “Boys, act like you’ve been here before.”

Their permanent butt hurt is going to be tiresome by March.

Except for impeachments which will not succeed, get back to me when the Congress has its own Department of Justice, because it doesn’t.
