If either of these scenarios happen, the past 4 years have been a complete failure.
One thing about the Dems is they (whether wrong or right) ALWAYS prosecute and ALWAYS pursue. The GOP is spineless. They will call for hearings, issue subpoenas, and air their grievances and outrage. But when the cameras turn off and the hearing is over, they'll go on as though nothing really happened. The GOP does not prosecute or pursue. They're all bark and no bite. Not a single GOP member of Congress (not even the saintly Ted Cruz) is worth a cent when it comes to actually DOING something.
John Ratcliffe was a bulldog as a member of Congress and then you heard very little of him when he became DNI. All the work the previous DNI, Richard Grenell, was doing with declassifying documents seemed to stop.
Ted Cruz loves hearings and loves making soundbites for social media campaigns but he's done nothing.
Jim Jordan is a favorite to watch at hearings. He is relentless and ferocious when it comes to questioning witnesses during hearings. But, again, outside of hearings he's done nothing.
The DOJ under AG Barr has been a massive disappointment. Perhaps if you want to drain the swamp you shouldn't hire a member of the swamp. How long has Barr been in government and politics? He's a smart guy. What better way to make sure nothing happens than to become AG and refuse to prosecute.
Even Trump mostly bluffed and used Twitter to rant and rage without actually doing anything. It's as though he didn't want to clean up things because he needed an adversary, a boogeyman, to blame for the ills of government.
Trump could have and should have fired FBI Director Wray and CIA Director Haspel in 2019 for refusing to follow orders to declass documents. But Trump didn't do that. Instead, he took to Twitter to bash and complain about them.
Come to think of it, the past 4 years
was a failure. We elected a celebrity, a man who loved showbiz, and we got just that: 4 years of entertainment.
It's truly infuriating to think about.
