What Should Democrats Not Investigate?

The Guardian: “Fresh off a major victory in the November 2018 midterm elections – which saw the party gain 40 seats in the House – Democrats are preparing to fully utilize the investigative authorities afforded to Congress as legal troubles continue to mount for the president and his inner circle.”

“And unlike their Republican counterparts, who were reticent to levy the powers of congressional oversight against Trump, nothing appears to be off limits.”

“The question before Democrats appears to be what not to investigate – and whether there’s any room for negotiation with a president who is anathema to the party’s base.”

Washington Monthly: “When Democrats assume control of the House on January 3rd, they will have $129 million more to spend on staff than their predecessors in the 115th Congress did—money they can use to hire more personnel to, among other things, investigate the Trump administration.”

1. It's difficult to answer your question

As we see on an almost daily basis, every part of Trump's life is steeped in criminality and unscrupulous behavior.

How does one prioritize the investigations?

I suspect that Robert Mueller has faced the same problem as he's conducted his investigations. I believe this is why he's been willing to let some of the fish he's caught off the hook: there are bigger fish to be had.

The incoming Democratic majority in Congress, led by the awesome Nancy Pelosi, will face similar problems. There is just so much stuff to discover!

The good news is that Trump is going to face accountability for the first time in his disgusting life. The world is going to learn what a horrible human being Trump has been.

3. Off the top of my head there are two things they should not bother investigating

Clinton's emails and Behghazi.

All that stuff that AgentOrange and his minions have been up to? Investigate it all.

Whitaker should be the first through the door. I also want proof Kavenaugh lied to Congress, although it might be better to wait until we control Senate and WH for that one.

8. Only his pathetic inability

to flip a coin should be left uninvestigated.
