I know that they have been called for by both Republicans and Democrats. Given the huge importance and controversy of this issue I don't doubt that it will happen.

I've certainly read the headlines that D-this and D-that have SAID investigations must be done -- but, I've yet to see anything FORMAL about this. Words are cheap. Do you know if the "actual" act of convening an "investigation" has begun?

I think you might be quite surprised to see the balking of this attempt at "investigation". There are numerous Democrats who not only authorized these "taps" but have been in on the reviewing process throughout -- but who now claim "ignorance". I do not really think these Dems would appreciate sitting in the witness chair. Do you?
Further, such an investigation is going to have to demand names of who might have been leaking data to say, the NY Times.
The commencement of such an investigation could spell the end to leakers and leakings with regard to National Security. This would spell the end of Democrat agenda items and their cozy alliance with boosting the headline-making revenue-focused foundations for such liberal rags as the NYTimes, and of course, all their allied-with-foreign-Anti-American special "interest groups" abroad in the world.
Looks like the tar is sitting on the Dem side. They'd be wise to suddenly cultivate a respect for National Security programs. Frankly, I think that's what we are going to see happen.
Are they going to investigate Clinton too? He was doing it, and IIRC, I don't think he even advised Congress, so he violated even FISA as well as the BOR.
