In the absence of full-fledged Congressional investigations, American policymakers rarely look back. They are bound by continuity and fealty across administrations and generations.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You want to toe the line with tough investigations without falling into political grandstanding inherent in Washington on both sides of the aisle.
Congress does investigations better than they do anything else.
Every congressional committee that does an investigation has documents, papers and things that it collects in the course of that investigation - the backup to everything it does.
There has been an awful lot of time and money spent looking at the president over the last four years The American people saw through those investigations. They voted for the president. And despite all of this time and attention, nothing has turned up because the president and the first lady did nothing wrong.
Agents need to be free to pursue investigations in ways that they haven't. There have been restraints that a reformed FBI needs to make sure we don't impose.
I believe there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.
It's not the function of Congress to do criminal investigations.
What I learned is that policymakers have to force consideration of actions that may not have occurred to them at the time.
The NSA routinely lies in response to congressional inquiries about the scope of surveillance in America.
It is irresponsible for this Congress to not investigate the President's lack of an exit strategy, and the fraud, waste, and abuse of U.S. tax dollars.
