To be honest, I'm pessimistic. I was optimistic for a while there, but with the FBI giving Priebus permission to say the NYT story was overblown and so many Republicans speaking against an investigation or just acting like everything is business as usual, I'm not very confident we'll ever get the answers nor special election we deserve. If things really were that sinister, I think someone would have prevented Trump from taking office in the first place.

I would love to be proven wrong.
