如果民主党赢得国会参众两院中任何一院的控制权，特朗普总统的能源政策和投资协议可能成为民主党调查的主要目标。
President Trump's energy policies and investment deals could become major targets of Democratic investigations if the party wins control of either chamber of Congress. Why it matters:
为何重要：国会调查可能揭露有关政府与大型公司及外国政府往来的新细节。
Congressional probes could expose new details about the administration's dealings with major companies and foreign governments.
他们在说什么： TD Cowen分析师约翰·米勒通过表示，众议院民主党人可能会采取“霰弹枪式”的做法，“把所有东西都抛出来，然后看看在公众舆论领域哪些能站得住脚”。米勒说，民主党人将寻找那些超越自身权限的机构、涉及政府官员家属的交易，或两者兼有。
What they're saying: House Democrats are likely to take a "shotgun" approach of "throwing everything out there and then seeing what sticks in the realm of popular opinion," TD Cowen analyst John Miller said via • Democrats will be looking for agencies that exceeded their authority, deals involving administration officials' families, or both, Miller said.
大局观：稍微深入探究民主党人最大的潜在监督目标，就会发现能源无处不在。
The big picture: Scratch the surface of Democrats' biggest potential oversight targets, and energy is everywhere.

Political space for legislation beyond messaging bills will be limited but not completely absent.
