Absolutely. And the first thing they should do is a thorough investigation of Trump and Stein.

I actually kinda agree with BRTD.

(Of course it shouldn't devolve into McCarthyist paranoia about anyone with "controversial" political opinion, but actual instances of complicity with Putin must be investigated.)

As the history teaches us, it would be very hard to avoid such institution to degenerate and be used to prosecute real or imagined political opponents.

The United States already have proper institutions in place.

A congressional committee is bound to get "political".

I HATE Russia.

For Trump, yes. I don't see why they need to go after Jill Stein.

I do think they need to go after Fox News and the Tea Party.

Btw, it's interesting you started to hate Russia now. After all, why would you give a flip about Ukrainians or Georgians, or Russian dissidents? I don't remember you saying this before. Certainly not with that zeal.

Oh, it's just your great awakening coincided with this election.
