Some of you seem to think that if it's not happening right now, it's no good.

IMO, the checks and balances through Congressional oversight that were absolutely necessary after six years of Republican neglect should continue now and into the future through its completion, regardless of the fact that the affected parties (the current president and senior staff) are leaving office in seven months. And if further checks by the Judicial branch are necessary as a result of findings from the Congressional oversight, that should proceed as well...after the change of administration.
Thats not to say that Congress and the country cant "move on" at the same time and also focus on the issues of greater concern (although not more important in the grand scheme of open and accountable government) to most citizens.
