.danielsgoldman on how he thinks his former Justice Department colleagues are handling their investigation into Donald Trump, what he would do in Congress, and more. A conversation with nia_prater
Photo: Mary Altaffer/AP/Shutterstock The last time Dan Goldman was in the House, he was impeaching Donald Trump. As the lead counsel in the first impeachment inquiry, he questioned witnesses for the Intelligence Committee. Now he wants to return as a representative of New York’s Tenth District, covering parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
I think Tish James is doing a good job, and I wasn’t interested in running against her. Many of the same reasons why I’m running for Congress now were the same reasons that I threw my hat in the ring for attorney general — I think there are lots of ways to serve the public. And there are lots of ways to promote democracy and stand up for the vulnerable communities and people who don’t have access to the opportunities that every American should have.
If the Democrats are in the minority, which I hope we are not, my experience having led the impeachment investigation will be even more valuable to the party because we can expect an impeachment investigation into Joe Biden. We can expect a number of tangential select committees that are stood up to investigate political nonsense.
A big question concerning the January 6 committee is whether they’ll make a criminal referral to the Justice Department. Do you think there’s enough evidence to warrant that? I mean, there are a lot of other things we need to tackle. Climate change is a huge thing. Education is a huge thing. Affordable housing is a huge thing. Immigration is a real, important issue. These are all really important issues. But the first thing we have to solve is making sure we have a robust democracy because, without that, we cannot have any other rights and we cannot have any other policies that help the people who need the help the most.I think it’s a combination of things.
