e.g., for illegally "spying" on Trump, etc.?
There are two narratives of the political scandals happening: The Red Narrative and the Blue Narrative. Neither one can be shown to be the objective scientific truth. Rather, each narrative respectively, i.e., of the two Gangs running the country, has its own version of the truth, or of the facts of what's happening. And the news media has no narrative separate from either of these two. At best, the media just report the battles going on between the two Gangs, or warring factions, telling us which side won a new battle, or which narrative scored more points on a given day.
So neither the investigations per se nor the media can tell us what the objective truth is, apart from the Blue or Red Narrative, but can only present to us the daily battles going on between the two Gangs running the country, and so far the Democrats have maintained the offensive, probably scoring more points because of the many House investigations they control. But the Trumpsters are now demanding investigations into the Obama-Clinton scandals, and Bill Barr seems about to start something, like investigating possible criminal behavior by those who originated the Trump investigations.
And why should ANY investigations be ruled out?
If there is suspicion of criminal conduct by either Gang, why should it not be investigated? But also, why must we rely on only the Red and Blue Partisans to investigate, or to determine "the truth" for us? Every House investigation will inevitably conclude that the Reds have committed crimes and that no Blues are guilty of anything. And every Trump-appointed official will find that only Blues have committed any crimes and that no Reds are guilty of anything.
The outcomes of such investigations are fixed in advance, because of the inherent Partisan impetus driving each of the two warring camps. So, as soon as an investigation is launched, the outcome of it is already predetermined, with no need to go through the mechanics or routine of the fact-finding. Any investigation will inevitably find the "facts" it needs in order to arrive at the Partisan results intended by the respective Red or Blue Gang which launched whatever investigation.
Can't there be any truth-finding entity other than these two Gangs which run the country? each confined to its own world of predetermined Blue or Red facts to present based on its respective narrative? Is there no other form of fact-finding than one dominated by the Red or Blue Gang?
Why not GRAND JURIES which are not partisan-based? Why couldn't there be grand-jury investigation of both the Trump/Red crimes and the Obama-Hillary/Blue crimes? There is probably some guilt on both sides which would be exposed by a neutral entity not committed to either of the two Gangs.
If Grand Juries were mobilized to investigate all criminal accusations against those in power, on either side, then maybe the Congress could turn its attention to legislation rather than these investigations of which the outcomes are already predetermined. This would mean Grand Jury investigation of the previous Administration, rather than by Bill Barr, since we know in advance that a Red-appointed Attorney General must inevitably produce the predetermined outcome required by the Red crusaders (i.e., Sean Hannity, Jay Sekulow, etc.) who are charging the Obama-Hillary Cabal with several crimes.
What we need are fact-finding investigations done by someone separate from the two warring factions -- i.e., not inherently committed in advance to produce the outcome dictated by the Red or Blue Gang controlling the investigation. Who would this someone be, other than Grand Juries? And, since there are easily dozens of suspected perpetrators on either side -- from the Red and Blue Gangs -- this might require several Grand Juries, even hundreds of citizens serving on them, to perform the work needed to investigate all the allegations made against each side by the other.
