Why? They hide behind this Constitutional clause.

“......
Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:

...
. They shall in all Cases, except Treason**, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
.....

** Constitutional definition of treason NOT your personal definition.

So, they keep the respective Houses in session on an almost continuous basis. This impedes any real serious investigation plus if your party controls the DOJ it’s even easier!

In the first Tea party GOP House (2008 think!) the GOP banned stock trading for House members. I think members were required to put stock portfolios into a “blind trust” (That is into something out of their direct control!) Please note this is the House only! When the House was lost back to the Rats; Pelosi and cronies went back to the old ways of doing “business”. Of course the media hardly bothered to report this!
