You do have some legitimate concerns, but I suggest that this is a problem with the way Congress operates. They don't have a system in place to truly investigate--not like a law enforcement agency investigates. It's unfortunate but it seems to be a long-standing system that we are stuck with. I also agree with your apparent distaste with politicians of all stripes--meaning both parties--seemingly over-concerned with getting face time on television rather than doing meaningful work, which after all is their mandate, all of them. None of them are truly above all of this, not Democrat, not Republican.

If we had term limits for Congress our representatives would not be constantly in campaign mode, and perhaps more work of the people would get done, and we'd see less posturing for the camera.

All this said, I do believe that the Republicans have brought out some problems with the Biden DOJ, IRS, etc., that perhaps the people of this country were not aware of, primarily because the majority of news organizations lean heavily to the left and avoid all criticism of this Democrat-run government and their appointees.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
You miss the point. Those on the Republican side of the ledger don't appear serious when attacking the evils you speak of. They run to the television screen as soon as they smell something rather than take the time to fully develop the argument and the evidence. Thus leading the other side to argue "that's old news" when they finally deliver something. To the extent any of them are/were lawyers, it's not in evidence. "Society" is under an extreme handicap in knowing what's going on so I despair of their ever resolving the problems to your satisfaction

I take you back to the Benghazi hearings. One house of Congress had Hillary in the morning; the other in the afternoon. The highly paid staffs of the R's should have been conferring during lunch to develop follow up questions from the earlier hearings. What did we get? Speechifying. I'm sure she and her staff were enjoying their wine that night. They never touched her...although they had the chances. What do you remember of that all day testimony other than "What difference does it make at this point"?
