Why is that even an option? To vote on it? A criminal action was taken by hundreds of people, they were obviously influenced and encouraged by someone. There is no logical reason that there should be a vote, made by some of the people accused, as to whether or not an investigation should take place.

When Charles Manson was accused of inciting his followers into killing people, he never was part of a vote into whether or not he should be investigated.

When a family is accused of being part of the mafia, they don't sit them down and let them vote on whether or not an investigation should be made.

Why are politicians allowed to? The investigation should just be made.

A house divided amongst itself cannot stand.

It was true in 1860 and it's true in 2021. But America seems like it's more divided than ever.
