It all hinges on these midterms. If the GOP ends up controlling both chambers, then we have to ride this out until 2020. If the Democrats take at least one chamber back, then Congressional oversight becomes a real thing again.

I don’t think Democrats will be able to fend off the endless attacks from CNN and the mainstream media demanding that they stop any Congressional oversight. Democrats should retake the House, but any attempt at governance or oversight will be continually attacked, parsed as ‘revenge for Benghazi’ or ‘witch hunts’ or ‘Washington gridlock’. The US media will quickly turn public opinion into grumbling that Democrats do nothing but oppose and engage in partisan witch hunts for political gain. Democrats won’t be able to handle that. They’ll have public opinion demanding that they stop any investigations and start working with Trump.
