I Wish This Meant Something

But the Senate can’t do it alone. There are 38 scheduled legislative days on the House calendar between now and Election Day, and House members don’t want to waste that time in D.C. doing bupkis, so the odds of enough GOP members showing up are zip and none. Leadership doesn’t want them back because it can’t guarantee the votes it needs. Members want to save their jobs. It’s not a scenario ripe for legislative action.

And even if Congress put a stake through the slush fund:

[Sen. Lindsey] Graham had proposed threading the needle on the dead fund. While acknowledging Blanche's announcement, he argued that "there are many victims of the weaponized Biden Justice Department" and proposed routing claims through the existing Federal Tort Claims Act process instead of creating a new system.

Graham made that proposal in a tweet. AAG  Stanley E. Woodward, Jr., responded “We’re on it.” And then thought “Did I say that out loud?,” and deleted his tweet.

More and more I’m beginning to think removal from office is the only cure, here.
