realizes that it’s working alongside a Democratic-led Senate and a Democratic White House, severely limiting its legislative prospects. With this in mind, GOP lawmakers intend to spend much of their next two years launching a series of investigations into all kinds of conservative hobbyhorses..

Much of these attempts at legislative oversight will be tiresome and inconsequential. Republicans will generate some headlines, aligned media outlets will be delighted, and an avalanche of fundraising appeals will no doubt reach conservatives’ inboxes nationwide. But the underlying GOP conspiracy theories are difficult to take seriously, and the associated investigations are unlikely to produce anything of great interest. The shows will be forgettable.
