The prospect of a massive and popular fishing expedition at the West Wing’s expense would delight...

A Republican House victory could mean open season on probes into the administration's actions
Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold, but if the Republicans succeed in reclaiming control of the House this fall, the president may well burn his mouth on the feast two congressmen have planned for him.
