Can Dems have endless hearings on Trump's handling of covid like R's did with Benghazi?

[Quixote1818]

Lets be real here. Trump's incompetence has killed hundreds of thousands. What he did makes Benghazi, which was horrible look like a blip. He should go to his grave having dealing with endless hearings on this. Not sure how the law works on something like this compared to a military failure.

1. They can. Republicans did but were punished by voters

This is different since it effects everyone. I’m sure they wii have investigations for it for sure.

3. I would not...we need to send help to the people not have endless investigations. Leave it to

justice.

5. Good point. I suspect justice will be very busy on many issues.

4. Punished by voters?

Hardly. Those hearing led directly to "Her emails" which were a big part of 2016. 2014 was a trainwreck for Democrats in the midterms.

I'd say they were highly rewarded.

6. Sorry. I thought they were 2017 to 2018.

[BGBD]

2. Sure.

7. sure. Republicans love their performance art

the reason doesn't matter, because they say whatever they want anyway.

8. Makes me sad that, when real scandals emerge, it is less likely that investigations will

happen because of the abuse of investigatory powers by the gop.

Trump et al deserve dozens of legitimate investigations but after politicization of investigations, the process is taken less seriously.

9. Of Course. But Then the Repukes Really Had Nothing Constructive to Do

Whereas Joe (with our help) has multiple Augean stables of trump- and mcconnell-dung (don't picture it!) to shovel out. Not to mention actual positive work to be accomplished as well.

May not be a lot of time for congressional hearings. Leave it to DOJ.

10. Every legislator wants to actually pass laws at this point

And we should hope that they do.
