So... trump is impeached... and even removed. Is that the end of investigations?

The trumpians will never accept his removal unless ALL the shit comes out...the taxes, the Russians, the emoluments, the dumbshit spawn and S-in-L, the whole enchilada.
They still may not accept it, but it will be harder for them to deny.
Congress has to keep investigating.
trump is a cancer, and you don't win with cancer if you just take out part of the tumor. You have to cut until you reach health tissue, and with trump, that will be difficult.
I've shifted from writing my Reps and Senator to urge impeachment to writing them demanding that they root trumpism out - root and branch.

... will probably pardon everyone and have his AG Barr shut down all investigations in an effort to "move on" and "heal".

and that can only happen with open investigations into all our alphabet agencies.

The Republicans have questioned the basis of our government in general So they shouldn't object to another round of Church Pike Committees

after all, it has been less than a decade that The Head of our CIA Lied Under Oath to Congress with zero repercussions.

The last time this has happened has been in the 1970s, it is long overdue for a reset in our intelligence agencies anyway.

Several people went to jail, including John Dean.

The investigations should continue, as they did then.
