I want to agree, but the last I heard from him was saying something along the lines of "the investigation stops here". Extremely disheartening. I know people want to think the Democrats are the opposition to the Republicans, and on some important issues they are, but on THIS issue, the ME crusade, the democratic leadership is in lockstep with the Republicans - which is why people are so disappointed in the Democrats after electing them to do something. The answer to this riddle was provided by the Walt-Mearsheimer study, but it seems nobody read it. "The bottom line is that AIPAC, a de facto agent for a foreign government, has a stranglehold on Congress, with the result that U.S. policy towards Israel is not debated there, even though that policy has important consequences for the entire world. In other words, one of the three main branches of the government is firmly committed to supporting Israel. As one former Democratic senator, Ernest Hollings, noted on leaving office, 'you can't have an Israeli policy other than what AIPAC gives you around here.'"
