Corruption topped the list of concerns for voters who ousted Republicans and handed Democrats control of Congress in the midterm elections. Now, the newly empowered Democratic Party is putting the issue front and center as its leaders chart their course for investigations and policymaking.

Its way more than 2 months before they can get anything done, pretty sure any9ne doing anything dodgy is going to be rapidly covering their tracks from yesterday.

    Far too optimistic. The election is a step in the right direction. But, the majority of the democratic party is still trying to return to a pre Trump era. They have no intention of actually holding this admin accountable. No more than Obama did for Bush. Not beyond what is beneficial to them without destroying the structures that protect them too.

    Washington doesn't bother hiding it's crimes. That like saying that the Mafia boss hide his crimes from his family. It is a mutually beneficial relationship that will never allow full truths to be told. And will never let the criminals be prosecuted without being made "whole".

    We have some real good people infiltrating it. Don't get me wrong. But, it is a step in understanding the larger problem for all. It is far from just the one side "hiding their crimes". It is a system that allows them not to even have to hide them in the first place.
