Appearing on MSNBC early Sunday morning, a Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee taunted fellow lawmaker Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for threatening hearings over Donald Trump's 37-count federal indictment, saying she welcomed the opportunity for him to fail once again.
Speaking with host Katie Phang, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) laughed when the host brought up the Ohio Republican's name whose "DOJ weaponization" committee hearings which have turned up no wrongdoing.
"You serve on House Oversight with Jim Jordan," host Phang prompted. "Jim Jordan loves to send those fast and furious letters demanding a whole bunch of stuff that never quite gets what he wants. Are you concerned at all that he and his other Republican colleagues will abuse Oversight for the purpose of interfering in Trump's prosecution?"

"There has been nothing but abuse on Oversight, to be clear," the Texas Democrat laughed. "But the American people should know by now that the House Oversight Democrats are some of the strongest advocates you can have, and allow the hearings that they really thought they were going to go in and really gets something damning -- they turned up nothing."
"In fact, they usually look like idiots by the time we're done with them," she told host Phang. "So they can try if they want to, but let me tell you the House Oversight Dems will be bringing that smoke -- so, I say 'bring it on if this is what you want to do.'"
