Analysis: Announcing congressional probes is very different from completing them
allows users to search for congressional reports, including the reports compiled by committees at the end of a congressional term documenting their work over the preceding two years.In total, the NBC compilation listed nearly 80 investigations. Many, though, were generic governmental oversight, focused on decisions made by the Trump administration or its officials, the sorts of things that House committees should be undertaking regardless of politics.
I looked at the committees’ reported work output on 13 of those investigations, the ones involving the House Financial Services, Judiciary, Oversight, Transportation, and Ways and Means committees. What became apparent is that — with some major exceptions — the probes either didn’t warrant a mention in the end-of-term summaries or they faltered after issuing requests for information.
One major exception, by the way, was the first impeachment of Trump. The House Judiciary Committee’s broad investigation of Trump, announced in March 2019, was eventually largely subsumed by thethat began that fall. But the impeachment didn’t stem from one of the probes announced when Democrats took the House. Instead, it followed from a whistleblower report describing Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine in service of his 2020 reelection bid.
