Frustrated with Congress' limited ability to hold people accountable.

Anyone just endlessly frustrated with how hopeless holding people accountable is?

Trump is guilty. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Today's testimony alone is enough grounds to remove him from office tomorrow. And every single Republican, especially trash like Nunes, Jordan, Graham, etc. will never ever change their view no matter how much evidence comes out.

And since the DoJ is insanely corrupt now, we have no real mechanism to investigate Republicans who are helping destroy the country.

Trump is getting impeached, obviously. But he's not going to get convicted, which means he will go into the 2020 election openly cheating without a single real consequence.

Jordan, Nunes, etc. will face no consequences for their destruction of the country.

I just hate that there are so many evil, corrupt people involved with this, and we have no real way to hold them accountable. Voting them out isn't satisfying enough and is hard to do anyway.

I'm venting, but I wish Congress could to something like form an independent commission with prosecution power to start investigating everyone involved in these crimes. Nunes, Jordan, Meadows, Gaetz, Graham, Barr, Pompeo, Mulvaney, Kushner, Don Jr, Ivanka, Trump... ALL of them..

There seems like there’s so little that can be done. Even changing the laws to allow for real teeth seems impossible.
