8. At this point, Congressional Investigations are a waste of time.
The ONLY investigation that will mean anything is an investigation/prosecution by the Dept of Justice.
There are already mountains of evidence, and according to the ACLU in a letter demanding that Holder immediately appoint an Independent Prosecutor, the Statute of Limitations is running out on some of the worst offenses, and will expire THIS YEAR.

Can you name a Congressional Investigation that has had any significant results in the last 30 years?
Do you remember the Senate Investigation into the abuses at Abu Ghraib?.
Congressional Investigations are about face time for celebrity politicians gathering soundbytes for campaigns...not Justice.


Besides, BOTH Parties are complicit.
