[I admire your optimism and I pray you’re right.

On the flip side, I’ve witnessed a LOT of “House oversight” that yielded absolutely no fruit.]


That’s not the fault of the House. Only the President has the power to order prosecutions. Trump either wasn’t interested or lacked what allegedly senile Joe has - the skill to get politically-motivated prosecutions going without leaving himself legally exposed. Congress can’t prosecute anyone. Only the executive branch can.

I remember Trump was told he couldn’t ask the AG to prosecute someone BUT HE can ask them to investigate a crime.
