But Nadler can't do a damned thing about it until January, and Trump can crash the world in that length of time.The Democrat set to take control of the House Judiciary Committee pledged Wednesday to scrutinize President Donald Trump’s ouster of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and promotion of Sessions’ chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, to acting attorney general.
“Americans must have answers immediately as to the reasoning behind @realDonaldTrump removing Jeff Sessions from @TheJusticeDept,”Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the New York Democrat slated to become chairman of the committee, tweeted Wednesday. “Why is the President making this change and who has authority over Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation? We will be holding people accountable.”

In a press release, Nadler said that Democrats on the committee were “immediately issuing multiple letters to key officials demanding that they preserve all relevant documents related to this action to make sure that the investigation and any evidence remains safe from improper interference or destruction.” Nadler also issued a warning: “Donald Trump may think he has the power to hire and fire whomever he pleases, but he cannot take such action if it is determined that it is for the purposes of subverting the rule of law and obstructing justice. If he abuses his office in such a fashion, then there will be consequences.”
