This effort involves 9 Senators and 50 Reps. I'm sure certain pundits will claim in 4 months time it never happened.

A pretty impressive array of signatories to this Warren/Nadler-led pressing of Bondi's DOJ on its gutting of PIN (amongst other mob law firm activities):

But what is the likely outcome? Doing *something* is not the same as being effective. A strongly worded letter for the Senate or House Minority leader is technically *something* but in practical terms it is less than nothing.

The simple answer is these republicans in power are crooks.

Because it doesn't matter if they probe or not. Republicans do not have to answer to anybody. Republicans are not required to honor subpoenas, the law, or the Constitution. The 9 senators and the 50 reps are impotent. What's the upside here? That it's on the record? They're currently re-writing

Stress and holding multiple realities simultaneously can rapidly deteriorate a person's body. Most of the people doing these horrible things know they're lying, know they are harming people, and it shows. Remember how Steve Bannon looked before he started touting Trump?

What's the likelihood that these Democrats will get any substantive responses to their "requests"?

Bondi will be heading for more plastic surgery if she wants to stay in Donald's good graces.

That's a tiny, tiny fraction 9f the Democrats in Congress. We can be sure in 4 months you'll be here shouting that this paltry showing demonstrates how Democrats have been united in opposing Trump.
