in any victories, so I'm not sure how much it actually means in real-world politics.

I don't wish Senator Sanders any ill, and hope he remains the Independent Senator from Vermont as long as his constituency continues to elect him. He is one of that state's voices in the Senate. I would prefer, though, that he concentrate on that job.

As for this investigation, I doubt if it will really get much attention from the media. It's just not that big a story.
