    One of the toxic legacies of Watergate is the idea that Congressional oversight exists always & only for the objective of removing presidents from office.

        Hmm. House Republicans embraced that legacy. Another toxic legacy is that every reporter wants to be Woodward or Bernstein (anyway, the handsome one.) If they can't be at the bridge at Selma (with MLK, not the police!) they want to bring down a Republican President.

        None of them have the stones to even try to live up to the supposed legacies of Woodward and Bernstein.

        No - sometimes it exists to endlessly smear a Secretary or State and future presidential candidate.

        To the extent that that’s a thing it’s a legacy of the Trump regime, who argued no valid legislative purpose for any oversight, with the acquiescence of the congressional GOP. There was plenty of oversight in the Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan and Carter administrations.

        I finished Dallek’s FDR biography recently, and was fascinated by a Congress of the President’s own party that saw itself as co-equal to the President versus being his attendants and that truly acted as a check/balance depending on the situation.

        These do. From the moment he was elected and even before, that was their objective. They planned it, executed the plan, and having failed, now are trying to protect their candidate from further investigation for his crimes.#Biden’s quid pro quo

        According to Mnuchin, it’s Supreme Court that decided “Congressional info demands must reasonably serve a legitimate legislative purpose”
