57. OMG. Can an investigation be done when Dems have more power later?

There's no statute of limitations on this, I hope, so that an investigation can be done later, when Dems have more power. Although I suspect much of the evidence will disappear. Trump is in the process of purging the intel agencies and placing his mini-dictator in there, to root out those Trump doesn't want in there.
