36. I am gradually coming to the conclusion...

...that nothing will be done until after the election in November. In my opinion, the DOJ may have decided that this is a hot potato that cannot be picked up unless it is done in a "bi-partisan" way?

The schedule may have already been put into place? The Committee will finish their public hearings in June or July and make their recommendations. The DOJ will announce that they will investigate the matter. But they will not begin until after the August recess. Then, there are only two months left until the election.

If the Democrats win in November, the investigation will continue. If the Republicans win, it will be put on the back burner with the facade that the DOJ is continuing the investigation. But, unless there is some sort of bombshell, the investigation will effectively be buried.
