    Nah, Democrats are going to be out for blood. They know their based elected them to go after the Trump administration, and investigations are the main lever of power that they have if they have Congress but not the presidency. Where they’re going to run into problems getting to someone like Miller is executive privilege. Anyone vaguely close to the president is going to claim executive privilege, it goes to the courts, and then the Trump administration just tries to run out the clock.

      History says no, they won’t. This is the same gaping wound from the civil war - the problem with the country has never been fixed. And that is that a lot of people in the country think they’re more worthy than other to be classified as human.

        I expect a huge puffy-chested bluster about holding people accountable - then hemming and hawing until “We have to move forward” starts up, once the checks roll in.

        Bribery is legal here, and they (mostly) seem to be bought. Use the outrage to get into power, then further entrench themselves in our broken system until they can cash-out, like the parasites they are.

        I would very much like to be wrong.
