The Democrats are going to investigate your crimes? Are we talking about the same Democrats?

They investigated last time too. They ran out the clock on all the important stuff and nothing of consequence came of any of it but they technically did do quite a few investigations.

Just enough to get a bunch of investigators fired.

Investigations are great for them politically, why wouldn't they?

They sweep the house and set up special commissions investigating all of the wrongdoings very publicly and with much ceremony and somber pomp.

Then either they'll defer the discovered crimes to the justice department to make arrests (these will be ignored) or send impeachment proceedings to the senate (these will be swatted down).

This lets them "do something" without actually making any changes. It will also be coordinated with the media to be the focus of politics for a while and not something dangerous like young anti-capitalist upstarts trying to steal the party they rightfully rigged so long ago.

By making it seem like they're doing something the can also tamper down some of that anti establishment energy that's been boiling over recently.

I hope they fucking fail.

Yeah, that does seem to be the safest bet for the current democratic party
