Why aren't DUers calling for a NON PARTISAN Independent Inestigation?

Everytime I post this I get excuses and BS. What are you waiting for...a magical fairy to make everything fair, timely, and known to the public? ALL the dems in Congress want this and they know why it is necessary to get anything done in a way that can't be derailed by the Donald and GOP! There already is a bill in the House by dems but the GOP obviously won't sign it since they will never impeach and they want their agendas passed (yes, I am going to die without ACA). I have called, written, protested, etc for 9 months. Our worst fears are actually happening and will continue to do so until we get rid of this monster ASAP. The GOP obviously doesn't care about not getting re-elected in 2018. They think that the citizens will forget about it by then and they most likely will. Americans are stupid and have a zero memory and only vote for presidential elections or down ballot.

Who would appoint the non-partisan independent investigator? Under what constitutional authority? Who would be required to consent to this non-partisan independent investigator? Who would be allowed to object to this investigator's appointment? What would constitute grounds for objection?

When you've got answers to these questions, I have a few more.

I'm so glad they stuck around and let them know how much I appreciated their youthful enthusiasm. Retrowire opened themselves up like this and were welcoming to soak up knowledge of the process along the way. Stay involved and soak in the replies from the pretty politically savvy group we have here. I love youthful exhuberance.

If you believe that then I guess you kind of answered your own question.

You ask the question and then give four good answers to it. What exactly are you expecting people to say? "Hell yeah! Those Dems should MAKE those Repubs pass that bill!"?
