Symone Sanders: Calling in Comey and Lynch Are Not Part of Exercising Real Oversight and Putting a Check on Trump

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "It's not about the President. I think it’s about going in and doing what the people elected a Democratic-led House to do. They want them to get things done. Now, to be clear, oversight is part of those duties, oversight that the Republican-led House of Representatives has just not done, i.e. calling James Comey and Loretta Lynch back to testify is not part of exercising real oversight and putting a check and balance on the White House. So I think you will see a lot of hearings, some oversight hearings. You will see some inquiries. But you will also see some legislation getting done. I think that no one would argue that ObamaCare is perfect, but there are some fixes and tweaks we need to make to the program. I think infrastructure is absolutely a place where things can get done. Maybe — I mean, it looked like a couple weeks ago, criminal justice reform, i.e. prison reform, I don't necessarily know, but at least conversations are happening. So I think Democrats will arrive in this 116th Congress ready to go, ready to get the work done. The question is, will the President and the Republicans in the Senate be willing to do the same?"
