When Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) warned new White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to "lawyer up," he forgot one small detail.He needed an actual crime.Miller, a longtime Trump adviser, has replaced Susie Wiles in the role. After Democrats swept the midterm elections on Tuesday, Garcia is in line to take the gavel of the House Oversight Committee in January. He went on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday to preview his party's plans, and Dana Bash asked him the most obvious question imaginable...."You did say that Stephen Miller needs to lawyer up," Bash said. "Why are you going to investigate him? Do you think that he committed a crime?"It was a simple yes-or-no question, and Garcia had no answer."Well, what we think is that Stephen Miller is the architect of this horrific, unjust policy happening across the country in the way that we are treating folks," he told CNN. "Look, Stephen Miller called Alex Pretti, as we know, an assassin."..."The way that he is going around creating immigration policy that separates families, that is causing people harm, that's creating a detention process where a few large companies are profiting, the unconstitutional detention of people, the way that folks are losing their due process rights, that has to be investigated," Garcia continued...."And we know that Stephen Miller has been an architect of that. And so what's happening there, what's happening in Iran, Stephen Miller is at the center of the major policy decisions that are happening in the administration," he added. "And so it does deserve oversight and investigation."In short, Garcia's so-called crimes are policy differences. Every single item on his list boils down to Democrats disliking how the Trump administration enforces immigration law and runs foreign policy. Voters elected Trump to do exactly those things. Garcia can hate them all he wants, but hating a policy doesn't make it a felony, and he knows it.
