MSNBC’s Capehart: Fact GOP Hasn’t Held Trump Accountable a ‘Dereliction of Duty’
RUSH EXCERPT:
CAPEHART: "That goes back to your earlier question to me and it is about them holding the president accountable. When I interviewed former Attorney General Eric Holder for my podcast, I asked him, is there a case for obstruction of justice? And he said yes, there is a technical case. And he ran through all of the things. The idea that Congress, Republicans — just remind the viewers Republicans are in the majority in the House and the Senate. They have oversight responsibility. The fact that they haven’t followed through to hold the president accountable for all of these things that we know are true right now, from news reports, but also from the actions of Bob Mueller is really a dereliction of duty, of their constitutional responsibilities. And to pickup on something Eli said about the Constitution, we have to remember that the Constitution is only as strong and as powerful as the men and women who swear to uphold it and protect it."
