There's nothing preventing them from continuing to vote for the things Republicans like, all while switching parties to get real investigations going in the House and (although it seems better than the House's) the Senate.

Why don't they do it? I'd love to know whether the two of them have discussed it and come with some reason not to, because goodness knows they'd be hailed as heroes by 1) the majority of the population and 2) history.
