House Democrats are demanding that the Interior department retain documents related to Donald Trump’s construction projects around Washington after whistleblowers warned that key paperwork has already been destroyed before Democrats take power, congressional sources tell CNN.

The warnings come as the Trump administration is signaling it will accelerate plans for moving ahead with the projects — a key part of what the president sees as his legacy — to lay as much groundwork as possible before the Democrats take over Congress in January.

On Tuesday, the top Democrat in the House Natural Resources committee, which has oversight of the agency that has helped fast-track many of Trump’s projects, plans to issue letters to the Interior Department as well as other federal agencies and private companies, requesting that they “preserve all records and data responsive to oversight” the congressional panel oversees.

That'd be great.

How? The courts would have to deputize people, something I have been wrong about them being willing to do.

Federal law enforcement is entirely under control of the president. For the next two years, unless the new congress and senate bring the chainsaw to how budgeting was done in the past, there is no one who can arrest the criminals.

Chainsaws. Flamethrowers. Pitchforks. Whatever. Not doing something past ordinary means that we've changed names in the seats, and that's it.

Great! Except, now they're terrified, they take their money and flee the country. No justice served.
