Every time the media, or some Retrumplican ass-pickle starts describing what Democrats in the House are going to do to Donnie Shit for Brains as an "Investigation", Dems need to push back relentlessly and continuously with extreme fervor that the correct term in OVERSIGHT
Don't let these pricks set the narrative that all Dems are going to do is "investigate" the Donnie Fungus Dick mis-administration, when what they are truly doing is THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY TO PROVIDE and CONDUCT OVERSIGHT
Words matter, and the narrative matters.
Just like the Mayor of Amityville said; "you yell Barracuda and people go 'Meh', you yell SHARK! and you've got a panic on your hands on the 4th of July"
It's CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED OVERSIGHT...not investigation

We need to control the way that oversight is portrayed. Not harassment. Not grudge. Not witch hunt. It's OVERSIGHT, doing the job as dictated by the CONSTITUTION.
