    Hey, the Rs aren’t good guys here but anyone who thinks the D’s are going to do anything about this, in the future are just silly.

      Simple question: Why do you think this?

      Aside from it being a house decision, so they don’t have much leverage, of course. Because history says if it happened under a D watch, there would be an investigation. Granted even just a decade ago there would have been one in a R house.

        Because it won’t be politically expedient for them by the time they’re in a position to do anything about it. They will use it as a wedge issue until the next thing comes up, and the cycle will continue.

        If this happened when they were in power, they’d certainly capitalize on it.
