Because "doing nothing but whine and pound the podium while stomping their feet" is exactly what happened here.

This doesn't lay the foundation for future subpoenas... if we take a chamber back next Fall, those subpoenas will fly whether these letters go out or not... just like the Republicans have been sending them out without waiting for a rejection of a polite letter.

The article you posted was the only point of the exercise. It's a press release intended to say "See? We're doing something!"
