I keep hearing, there is nothing to investigate:

Killing someone is a crime......kind of a small difference where someone does something in their job description.

What investigation do you refer to? The fact the Dems didn't like the outcome of the 2 year investigation by Mueller so now they want to investigate it AGAIN?
Uhhhh...over 400 pages. It's what you all wanted. It's what you all got.

Congress is not entitled to the supporting data. They are the LEGISLATIVE branch. They are not the judicial. They are not the executive branch that contains the DoJ.
They don't get a 'do-over' simply because they don't like the Mueller team's results.
Barr didn't have to release anything.
You are lying to say he released nothing. He clearly released the findings of Mueller, with very little redacted. So stop lying Garud.

Mueller shut down the investigation Garud. You simply don't like the results.
Sorry. Typo. A AG, not SP.
It's up to SP to simply turn over his report to the AG...which he did without recommendations on the obstruction charge.
He DID however report that there was nothing to the Trump/Russia hoax.
Congress has the power to investigate and issue subpoenas. You are wrong. They are an important part of checks and balances.

Yet 10 investigations from Mueller's original remit are still ongoing.
Another 19 are going on in Congress or by the staties.
SP's give recommendations regarding any evidence they have or have not found.
1,000 former prosecutors have now signed the letter stating Trump obstructed justice.

Wrong. Their powers relate to legislative issues. They do not get to dig through a DoJ database hoping to find something they can use politically.
Mueller investigated. Provided them his report. They are not even entitled to that.
They cannot just issue subpoenas because they feel like it.
Out of how many former federal prosecutors living in the U.S.?
There was no outcome by Mueller, silly. It is a report, Now its Congress's job to use that report to do their oversight job.
Ok, so they must do the investigation all over again themselves. Fine. Keep the information hidden... .I wonder why?
[h=2]Origins[/h][FONT="]The constitutional framers assumed that Congress would conduct investigations as the British House of Commons conducted them. James Wilson of Pennsylvania, a future Supreme Court Justice and Convention delegate, wrote in a 1774 essay that members of the Commons were considered “grand inquisitors of the realm. The proudest ministers of the proudest monarchs have trembled at their censures; and have appeared at the bar of the house, to give an account of their conduct, and ask pardon for their faults.” When the U.S. House convened in 1789, it established an early set of select committees, such as Rules and Ways and Means, to structure the legislative process including investigations.

SIMPLY saying "kill my wife" is not a crime -there needs to be some evidence of plotting (conspiracy) -
