I’ve already explained it...and it isn’t a prosecution of Congress, but of members of Congress and allied special interests that have engaged in crimes. For example, a serious investigation into the financial affairs of Harry Reid would probably result in jail time. The gist of the point is that on immigration, for example, the reason Congress consistently tries to work against the wishes of the American people is that there are enough politicians who do the bidding of various special interests that we have ended up with nearly open borders. The relationships have gone on for so long on that and other matters without real scrutiny it is likely that in many cases legal lines of been crossed. The problem is that even government officials who commit obvious crimes are seldom called to account, so the practices continue and worsen. Investigation and prosecution would curtail much of the parliamentary gamesmanship that has been indulged in on behalf of, say, the SEIU or various business interests. It would simply be seen as too risky. Take a slightly different example, Hillary has obviously gotten away with felonies for years. The Clintons have never really been called to account, so her behavior continues and escalates. Now, instead of just feloniously acquiring cash (White Water and Cattle-Gate), she is leaving a trail of dead bodies and compromised national security information behind her. Congress is no different. About the only way a Congressman or Senator will be prosecuted is if his freezer is full of cash. There hasn’t been a serious investigation of Congressional sleaze since Abscam. Of course, it could be that I am wrong and that our esteemed members of Congress are pure as the driven snow. You can choose your side of the wager. ;-)
