<<Every Dem will be investigated before they even get elected and once in office, charges will be brought immediately and an open-ended investigation will start and last the whole time he or she is in office>>

Again, this is alarmist and untrue. Congress uses a system called static base budgeting that assumes that no matter what they do, people's behavior will not change. It isn't a valid assumption for budgeting, and it isn't a valid assumption here. The American people are already heavily divided over the current investigation. They were not happy when the accusations were made against other people. They will not stand for the sort of investigations you are describing.

<<This is nothing like Watergate days and there is no end of this in sight>>

What exactly do you think is different from the Watergate days? The process is exactly the same. If the Democrats didn't follow the path you describe, what makes you think the Republicans will? Of course, that's completely ignoring the fact the the Senate would never be able to find 2/3 of its members that would vote to convict. As far as the independent council statute - do you REALLY think that the American people will stand for another investigation like this one? Of course, that's why I want all these issues discussed in the current hearings. That way, they could be dealt with now, instead of drawn out serially over the next few years.
