“....The political right appears harmless,....”
We haven’t had a functioning DOJ for 14+ years now!***
Legislatures cannot prosecute! For the most part their only recourse is “the budget”, at best a very blunt hammer with significant collateral\political damage if used. No one yet has been willing to weather that political storm!
The possible exception is judicious application of the Holman Rule (see Wikipedia for definition!). It can be used “surgically”. Two GOP congressman haven’t said they will seek to apply it. It only takes a House majority vote to apply it. The Senate is NOT involved! It would require the GOP to act united for once. (You know like the Rats do! For everything!) Stop fighting each other over who’s most pure and wield power. The Rats do this in a heartbeat! They worry about purity later if at all. The Rat concern and focus is power!
*** The crucial event in my mind over the last 6 years was the catastrophic appointment of Sessions as AG. Everything else has followed from that!
Typo
” .. Two GOP congressman haven’t said...
should read
“...Two GOP congressman have said ..”
