Yes, I've mentioned Clinton, but not to rag on her. I hate when both sides behave this way.
I want these dumbasses in Washington to serve the American people.
It depends on your perspective. All the investigations into Hilary Clinton were blatantly about torpedoing her political career. One of the prominent Republicans in congress actually bragged that was what they were doing.
Trump, OTOH, has done a lot of shady stuff. It's not totally true to say that "nothing" has come of the investigations into Trump. There have been over 20 indictments, somewhere around 5 or 6 guilty pleas, and a serious conviction in a federal court. And that is just off the top of my head.
His long time fixer, Cohen, appears to have totally flipped on him and is trying to warn people of exactly what and who Trump is.
I think the Democrats CAN'T ignore what Trump and his administration are doing. The real question is with the Senate in Republican hands and the House in Democrat hands can they really do anything effectively to bring down the current administration? And given the refusal to work across the aisle on major substantive issues by the Republicans during the Obama years it is highly unlikely that the Democrats are going to make nice now and try to work with Trump or the GOP.
The best we will probably get is a long simmering stalemate with Trump blaming the Democrats for everything that goes wrong. And more polarization.
