Democrats are weighing how to target corporations that have courted President Donald Trump’s approval if they retake the House after the midterm elections.

Semafor reported that, given Democrats’ chances of retaking the House, top Democrats are now devising how to focus on alleged corruption in the Trump administration amongst other issues in their investigative agenda.

“There’s opportunities to look at not just corporations that we think are enabling some of Trump’s corruption, but certainly corporations that are not supporting American families and not really focusing on affordability,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said he might focus on potential violations of the Emoluments Clause, which bars the president from receiving gifts from foreign powers or American taxpayers.

“The cardinal, original sin of Trump was to decide that he was going to use the presidency as a profit-making enterprise in his first term, and I would say that Congress should have impeached him for receiving millions and millions of dollars from foreign governments,” Raskin remarked.

Anti business democrats?
Actually, it's 100% on-brand, and what made me make a final break from the Democrats. Yep, I used to be a Democrat. It was when I saw something happen decades ago on the national level that reeked of the goings on I'd heard about on the local level that it was more than I could stomach. Quite obviously, if they are willing to go after a former US President because they consider him an enemy of their party, they are willing to go after anyone who doesn't say "How high?" when they yell "Jump!"

I looked at the stories. It seems that Democrats suspect that positive government rulings on anti-trust and other matters are associated with the companies' support of Trump. Given Trump's actions on pardons it's easy to see why there might be this sort of suspicion.
