They will go wild with real witch hunt investigations and supeona everyone and everything that has criticised Trump in the past.
Will Dems ignore the supeonas or will they comply and play along?

(52,235 posts)If you mean they're incompetent at investigating to uncover the truth, or to get successful prosecutions, sure, they're incompetent idiots at that.
But that's not really their goal.

(52,235 posts)Between the right-wing fake smear machine and the media that just eats it up.
The media should have covered the investigations as a high-risk fishing expedition for the republicans. Gambling that they'll find proof of criminality. That way, there's a consequence for coming up short.
The way the media covered it, Hillary lost even though she was cleared of wrongdoing and republicans won even though they abused their powers unethically and wasted tons of federal money and time for zero indictments.
So of course republicans smear democrats. The media makes it a gamble republicans can't lose no matter what.

(16,846 posts)It might depend on what Jim Jordan and others do if they're subpoenaed by the 1/6 Committee. If they refuse to comply and aren't compelled by the courts to testify, then Democrats might ignore subpoenas as well. Refusing to testify is not a good look, though. I think Democrats should do all they can to get members of Congress to testify and should testify themselves if told to do so. It's bullshit that some people can ignore subpoenas about it while others go to jail for it.
