Now that all the tumult and shouting has pretty much died away, many people are looking forward to getting some answers to some really nasty questions that have been hanging around for some time now.

Unless, of course, the Democrats decide to be deucedly ‘gentlemanly’ about it.

From Jeff Tiedrich’s pages:

I rather expected this. That polite, unwritten and unspoken agreement that seems to exist in politics everywhere.

“Tell you what, we won’t make any serious efforts to turn over any rocks that have your party’s really disgusting/criminal things under them, if you agree to not take any of the skeletons out of our cupboard and expose them to scrutiny when you have the chance, OK?’

Of course, there may be some ‘inquiries’ held where people get ‘grilled’ about some things, and there may be some red faces at which people can point and jeer, but, ultimately, no-one will suffer greatly, no-one will go to prison, and it will be determined that society is to blame.

That’s a very cynical and grim assessment. I don’t think the Democrat efforts at accountability during Trump’s first term and during Biden’s support your contention either.

Perhaps i am being unkind to the Dems.

On the other hand, it’s no great risk to demand a crusade when you know that the other side will put the ki-bosh on every such notion.
