So, what happens to that report that was sent to Congress? What power do they have to do anything?
Say if Hillary admitted that she was running guns through the embassy and that Stevens was killed to cover it up, what can congress do? Do they forward the evidence to the DOJ for them to decide to prosecute? What if they are part of the cover up? I have always been unclear on the next step. We see lots of hearing but nothing ever seems to come of it.
Congress can of course pass laws concerning situations like the one in question, they can impeach and remove an offending official, cut a budget as punishment, etc. They can also authorize themselves to appoint a special prosecutor and then turn one loose on offenders. What’s lacking is will, not ability.
If I understand correctly, a DOJ investigation and prosecution does not use info fom a Congressional hearing.
