Waiting for control

Why does it seem we have so many crooked people in Congress? The parties in the House and the Senate both seem to wait until they have the power of control to get things accomplished that should be accomplished every day, regardless of what party they are in. The Republicans feel they must have control to investigate Joe Biden’s son. If anybody in government needs to be investigated for a possibly criminal act, then see that it gets accomplished; the same holds true for Republicans and Democrats. Having to wait for one political party proves someone is thought to be dishonest, because the other party waits till it has the power before it does anything.

If there is suspicion the law has been violated, then investigate, and if evidence is found, file the charges. No one is supposed to be above the law, regardless of who they are.
