@GottaLaff I saw that. I was hoping for televised public Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, which would bring the point home to the voters. Is there some formal protocol reason why he chose to do it this way?

It seems to me Garland is unlikely to do this. I think they'd much prefer to keep any such investigations secret rather than appoint a special counsel that will be subject to intense political pressure. We didn't find out about the Menendez case until the indictments happened.
