One of the beauties of the Constitution is its separation of powers. You have an executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch. The system starts to breakdown, however, if one branch starts reaching into the other.
So, let's say the legislative branch decided it wanted to investigate Jan. 6 or Benghazi. Let's say they decided there was a need to appoint a commission to get to the bottom of things. Is this not the legislative branch stepping into the work of the judicial branch. It's the legislative branch saying, Hey, you won't cover all the angles, so we've got to. You won't go after Rudy Giuliani hard enough. Or you won't look into Hillary Clinton like we need you to.
How many special investigations have we seen come back where no charges were filed? These commissions are looking for crimes, same as the Department of Justice. Let the DOJ do its job. When you start letting the legislative branch do the work the judicial branch was intended to do, you bleed politics into justice. That's not a good idea. Justice cannot be carried out when politicians are attempting to influence the outcome.
