    waste of time and money

    Yes and no. Regardless of what happens with the results, it’s important that we not let [blatant] corruption become the norm. Better to try to do the right thing than let that kind of corruption go completely unchallenged.

    And if the R-led House ignores it, that puts them on the record as saying that corruption is okay. If dems take the House, then an impeachment vote might at least make it to the floor. Ideally, we’d have the 60 votes in the Senate needed to do something with that, but I’m not holding my breath.

        Remember shit like this? In hindsight they’re so tragically pathetic. “The walls are closing in on Trump!”

        Oh, there’s plenty of Mueller Report toilet paper to go around, lol. And if we eventually run out, we’ll likely have the results from this probe to last us through the next 3 pandemics.
