I will see it to believe it. That hasn't been their MO. Its been "looking forward". As far as I'm concerned, W Bush committed not as many crimes, but one big one that 'trumps' all others, in his administrations doctoring of evidence and lying the country into a war than not only costing multi-billions, if not trillions of dollars that could have been spent more wisely. Not only the massive casualties both the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, and the thousands of US and others military personnel. Then the 10's of thousands injured for life both physically and psychologically. Not only the fact that that invasion and Bush's handling of it stirred up rival hatreds and created the chaos needed for the rise of ISIS, which in an of itself has caused untold death and misery. As well mostly responsible for the huge refuge crisis.
But also on top of all of that, Cheney, Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, and others scooped up millions in no-bid contracts, many of which the work wasn't even completed, plus secured oil rights etc. They made money from an abhorrent deception, and then borrowed billions more from China to be passed down to future generations.
So if all that gets a "we have to look forward", sorry, I'm not convinced that IF and when Democrats at last have a majority in the House, they will not be frightened hens again afraid to piss off the conservative middle American voter who will be no doubt glued to Fox News every evening telling them how the Democrats are wasting their money and shirking their real jobs by going on a witch hunt to persecute Trump because he "told it like it is" and they couldn't stand it.
I do pray they do not disappoint though, and remain hopeful.
