However, the republicans will NEVER sign any kind of legislation that would reduce congressional investigation of the president. After all, how much time and money did they piss away investigating Obama and Bill Clinton before him?
Don't go pretending the political investigation of the president is anything new. It's not. It's been going on for as long as I've paid attention to politics. There was a brief pause in the mid 2000's, mostly because Bush's policy was so unpopular we didn't need to investigate him. Otherwise, it's seemed like there's always been one investigation or another. If you can't handle that, or if you can't handle that while doing the rest of your job, you don't need to be president.
It is not mud slinging. This country’s democracy and rule of law can not possibly be long for this world, or even suffer a peaceful demise, even if trump is defeated This fall, if trump is not investigated and sent to jail pretty much forever as an indisputable warning to any future political party or interest who seeks to gain their agenda in a manner the GOP has.
Investigating trump to the ultimate conclusion, regardless of how small a fraction of that would already be sufficient to send him and cadre to Jail for an eternity, is a matter of absolutely life and death for the United States as it had been known for the past 245 years.
