Even many Democrats are wary of Democrats spending too much time "investigating" and not enough time legislating.
Donald Trump warned the Democrats that he had the Senate and that he would investigate them also - and he could win the "war" if Democrats started investigating everything.
Republicans are terrified that the Democrats will investigate "everything". They failed miserably to provide any oversight to the Trump Administration and are fearful that their gravy train is about to end and they are about to be discovered.
Democrats should not be intimidated by these vacuous threats from the Republicans. The American people want oversight and that is their job. Unlike the Republicans, they should do their job.
Furthermore, if Mueller does not finish his investigation thoroughly, Democrats should ask for a bi-partisan Commission to continue investigating until the entire truth is known about this criminal cabal in the White House. No stone should be left unturned.

Mueller - "I want the truth"
Trump - "You can't handle the truth!!...Mueller, we live in a world that has walls, bigly walls, and those walls have to be guarded by me, and me alone. Youre not gonna do it. Pelosis not gonna do it. (sneers) John McCain or Chuck Schumer? I have a bigger responsibility than anybody in history. You weep for Democracy and you curse Trump. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Democracys death, while tragic, saved lives. And my existence saves lives. You dont want the truth because deep down you want me on that wall, you want me in that White House, you need me as your King for Life. I demand honor and loyalty to Donald Trump and you make that a punchline. I dont have the time to explain myself to a man who rises under the blanket of MAGA and then questions how I provide it. I would rather you just say thank you President Trump for Making America Great Again and pledged your loyalty to me. Otherwise, I suggest you stop this Witch Hunt and pledge your loyalty to Trump. Either way, I dont give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
Mueller - "Did you order the Russian interference?"
Trump - "you're goddamn right I did!!"
That is perfect! Yes, it would probably be something like that, super hyperbolic, only with smaller words and more redundancy!
This needs its own thread.
I'll try to re-work it later today and maybe start it's own thread

(18,672 posts)Of course Democrats are going to do their job and investigate. Republican bullying has become laughable given their own record of reopening countless investigations against Hillary Clinton while ignoring Trumps significantly worse offenses. The young people now starting to vote and filter into Congress arent falling for their shit.
