"A Barr-Trump Commission of Inquiry?"

There is a proposal here for some sort of commission, preferably with some bipartisan membership, to investigate and help figure out the response. One that basically is not about criminal penalties though a limited form of financial wrongdoing might lead to consequences. I and others respond. The idea can be expanded to other agencies.

We should be thinking ahead and we saw in the Obama Administration how delaying could be a problem and even ultimately lead to failure. The details are open to dispute. The piece covers limited ground but do think actual civil and criminal penalties should at least be on the table. The Elizabeth Warren proposal of a special commission set up to investigate in the Justice Department (as I recall) made sense to me. No "one" solution is required here.

There are a variety of factors here, but bottom line, there is principle involved. This isn't just partisan. A special rot is present in this Administration and just winning an election and "moving on" doesn't seem like enough. And, yes, some means to bring in others makes sense. We can scorn "Never Trump" types, but there is some sentiment that goes beyond registered Democrats. Government integrity is now largely a Dem thing though.
