How would you grade this Congress, in regards to Trump and the Russia investigation?

Have the Democrats been aggressive enough in their criticisms of the Trump Administration or have they been correct in just letting Mueller do his job?

Have the Republicans obstructed at every opportunity and abdicated their duties to the Constitution of the United States, by not holding Donald Trump accountable to the "Emoluments Clause" of the Constitution?

Is the "Emoluments Clause" less important than other parts of our Constitution?

How will history record this Congress, Democrats and Republicans?

I think the democrats are trying hard, especially Swalwell and Schiff, but I don't trust the republicans. It seems to me when watching them, that they are too deferential to the republican witnesses. And for all the comity on the Senate committee, I think Burr is stalling and holding things back.

Of course, I do not know how much they have to defer to Mueller on documents and testimony. I would not want anyone to derail his investigation!

How sincerely do you think they want to expose their own malfeasance?

I give them a ten for CYA and head in sand and clueless Scooby Doo-ism . Huuuh?
