Opinion writerA veteran Republican congressional staffer has published a scathing attack on his own party’s oversight failures in the Trump era. In short: If Democrats do take back some or all of Congress, they’re going to have a lot of cleaning up to do. And while it’s tempting to think that all this means is exercising the oversight on President Trump that Republicans have not, it’s not that simple.

In short, if Democrats can win some control, there will be a lot to do — well beyond Russia and Trump’s finances.
