House Democrats are showing little appetite to flex their investigative muscles in the final year of President Donald Trump's first term, with many eager to proceed cautiously and avoid overzealous probes that could backfire politically

After House Democrats launched a series of high-profile probes in 2019, which ultimately led to Trump's impeachment in December, Democrats say they are facing an election-year dilemma: They believe that there are serious abuses of power that must be investigated by their House majority, but many privately concede that doing so could end up benefiting Trump politically by taking the focus away from his handling of the crises facing the country.

Nadler: Barr 'deserves impeachment' but 'waste of time' 08:25But after a hearing Wednesday where two DOJ prosecutors accused Barr of politicizing investigations and Stone's sentencing, Nadler said he was now open to the possibility. "We're looking into that, we may very well," Nadler said. Asked why his view had changed, Nadler added:"I think the weight of the evidence and of what's happened leads to that conclusion.

Kinda the same approach they took in 2018. Hide the true agenda so people will vote for us. Then when we get power, we can return to our same old crap. Democrats are truly the most dishonest people on the planet

Failing a lot makes you tired

Lol... look how all the other ones turned out.. zero evidence of Russian collusion and now it looks like Biden actively tried to interfere in trump admin 👍🏿

Gee you think it’s cuz they have continuously screwed up. It’s funny how the media sugar coats the truth.

Too late!

If trump was made of wood his nose would stretch to Beijing

The history books are going to show trump and the GOP crimes, and the Dems tried one thing ,impeachment, it didn’t go so well because the GOP are corrupt! So what do they do? They now just let them do whatever they want and hope the American public will bail them out in Nov. BS

At this point prosecute them after the election!

Spineless. Always spineless. Both parties. Dems are as complicit as the GOP through their inaction.

Only took them 3 and a half years to learn this...

Sorry but Trump is going to be re-elected. The swing state voters are not amused by all the rioting and lawlessness.

They’ve embarrassed themselves enough

Trump’s sinking himself. Why bother. The way things are going, come election, it’ll still be the first wave.

Kinda like everything they did in past 4 years?

Trump demands end to flag-burning as protest flare again near White HouseSome protesters countered by trying to establish a police-free “Black House Autonomous Zone.' Playing to his base again. The majority of Americans know flag-burning was ruled by SCOTUS to be 'symbolic speech' protected by the First Amendment. Why, he doesn't give a damn about America, Republicans, or his base. Let alone the rest of us. BTW: how many Republicans, his base have died from the Coronavirus? Or infected? Or trump's wealthy cronies? Coronavirus doesn't care about politics or party or wealth! Hey realDonaldTrump, how about demanding an end to the coronavirus and do something productive with your time rather than shot-tweeting and distracting with things like this? DoYourFuckingJob
