Great idea!

Don't get bogged down in fixing the health-care mess you created, let's investigate Trump some more!

So after the Hillary Benghazi mess, now we just have pile on after pile on with Trump. This is the new normal I'm afraid. Good luck for the Federal Government getting ANYTHING done, regardless of which party is in office. We are a government of lawsuits and investigations, not a functioning government to accomplish anything they have been put in place to do.

The NINE Benghazi "investigations" proved it was political and nothing more when, try as they might, they were unable, repeatedly, to find any wrong-doing. You use that as a basis for never investigating anyone again?

Just because the GOP will spend years and years and millions upon millions of dollars "investigating" bogus accusations about their political foes doesn't mean Trump should get a free pass. There's smoke. Let's see if there's fire.

Did I say Trump gets a free pass? And don't act like there wasn't plenty of smoke with Hillary. The main point here is that our Federal Government is f'd because the new political fight is just lawsuit after investigation after lawsuit. If you don't see that as a troubling trend, I don't know what to tell you.

I see it as a trend whenever the GOP is in control, like the endless Benghazi crap, Clinton's emails and Oval Office blow jobs. They have made it a plank in their platform to always try to take down their political opponents with bogus, never-ending "investigations" any time they are in charge.

Show me where the Democrats have done that regularly in the past. They didn't even investigate the phony reasons W got us into the Iraq war when they took control of Congress, even though they probably should have, because they wanted to focus on moving forward instead of looking back.

Now, there is something too big to be ignored. A president possibly working with a hostile foreign government and against the U.S. for his own enrichment is a problem. If you don't understand that, I don't know what to tell you.

Read again and think about what you just asked me, because I don't have an answer for you.

uh oh...another "unpaid parking ticket" investigation.

I've been saying it for the longest, these investigations have simply been weaponized to generate bad press.

Running arms to the terrorists is most certainly wrong doing.
