I would expect that the Democrats are going to be holding quite a few Congressional investigations in the next two years and that he is going to have to be answering quite a few questions in front of Congress for them.
Lol. No. They'll sweep it all under the rug in the name of "national healing" or some such nonsense. It's what always happens.
Nah, Democrats are going to be out for blood. They know their based elected them to go after the Trump administration, and investigations are the main lever of power that they have if they have Congress but not the presidency. Where they're going to run into problems getting to someone like Miller is executive privilege. Anyone vaguely close to the president is going to claim executive privilege, it goes to the courts, and then the Trump administration just tries to run out the clock.
History says no, they won't. This is the same gaping wound from the civil war - the problem with the country has never been fixed. And that is that a lot of people in the country think they're more worthy than other to be classified as human.
I expect a huge puffy-chested bluster about holding people accountable - then hemming and hawing until "We have to move forward" starts up, once the checks roll in.
Bribery is legal here, and they (mostly) seem to be bought. Use the outrage to get into power, then further entrench themselves in our broken system until they can cash-out, like the parasites they are.
I would very much like to be wrong.
If you can dream and not make dreams your master...
There are very few democrats. Tatching CSPAN currently is akin to watching the muppet show tonight, but all the puppetiers are on the olicgarch payroll.
Oh all the Trump ghouls, Miller is the one that I would fear the most. Far to cold and calculating in how he can inflict the most pain on others.
As the old Frank Zappa line went "They look after no 1, you ain't even no 2."
Miller is too obvious. He smells Nazi from a mile away. Not dangerous to anybody with a modicum of common sense.
The real danger is that slick slimeball JD Vance. The only saving grace with him is that he has the charisma of an open hemorrhoid.
