The muller investigation being investigated!

[TaraJo]

Yeah, that's how partisan politics works in Washington nowadays: the president is under CONSTANT investigation.  That's pretty much how it's gone since the 90's, with the exception that Bush got a brief break right after 9/11.  Even if you haven't actually done anything.  Now the opposition to those investigation is turning things around and investigating the investigators.  

And, yeah, I don't know who's going to be president when Trump leaves or when that will be, but I can already predict this president is going to be under investigation for something, too.  And the president after that, same thing.  And so on and so on.

Wouldn't it be nice if our elected officials would just worry about legislating instead of this ridiculous game of political gotcha they're going for?  I mean, I'm not going to be any kind of fan of Trump, EVER, but my criticisms are more about policy and less tabloid fodder.

I'm not entirely convinced that accusations of tax crime, attempts to suborn your election process,  illegal appropriations, and hush money payments count as 'tabloid fodder'.  When there are creditable accusations, investigations are warranted.  Even if (or especially if) those investigations show that nothing untoward happened.

I'm forced to admit, there's legitimacy to the charges Trump is facing.  A whole hell of a lot more than there were against Bill or Hillary Clinton, anyway.  The whole Ben Ghazi debacle was a legit concern, but it was investigated into the ground and Obama and Hillary didn't really do anything wrong there.  And Obamas birth certificate has been investigated to no end with no legitimate proof that it's ever been faked.  

But it still bothers me that politicians are more worried about playing "Gotcha" than they are with legislating and policy.  Trump is passing laws that benefit exclusively white, wealthy, Christian, American men at the expense of everyone else.  Isn't anyone able to attack him on this?  Is anyone able to criticize his policy choices?
