(7,547 posts)Dems can and should investigate the numerous cases of wrondoing by the administration. They would take an extended period of time. Even if impeachment is the end result that would not come for a year or more. The Senate will not get to intervene in any proceedings until such a time as impeachment proceedings are begun. This give Dems carte blanche in who or what they wish to investigate leading up to the next election. Failure to expose as much of this criminality to the American people as possible would be an abject failure and abdication of responsibility, even if Dems are successful in the next round of elections. Failure to do so would normalize GOP criminality just like it did after Iran/Contra, the GOP's continued commission of election fraud over tha last several decades, fake weapons of mass destruction in Iran, etc. The Dems should have every cabinet member of this administration called to the carpet, from Nielsen, to DeVos, Mnuchkin, Bolton, et al., as well as all the myriad law-breaking supporters involved in the administration's crimes, such as Erik Prince and all the GOP's money launderers in the Senate.
We need to use the law to break down the criminal conspiracy that is the GOP, from their money laundering to their election fraud, their graft and corruption and absolute disregard for the rights of the American people.
