I agree - I think it's bull@$#*
Even IF there really is an outside investigation - which HOPEFULLY will result in the Federal agents finally indicting all the senatorial crooks - Russell has YET to issue whatever measures they will institute in the legislature to ensure that these abuses do not happen again. That should have happened a loooooong time ago, by now.
He's a freaking joke.
