4. Good news. Here is more -
"The new Democratic oversight team would not be Senate-sanctioned and would lack the subpoena powers held by official congressional oversight panels to compel testimony. But it likely will attract whistleblowers, Dorgan said.

"There are plenty of people who have seen what is going on inside these agencies and know what has gone on with some of these contracts," Dorgan said.

The team could have about 12 senators, Dorgan said."

I wonder who the 12 Senators will be - I can think of a couple who it would be good to put on there - former prosecutors and investigators. Ring any bells?
