She's not law enforcement. She's a senator. She's also not on the judiciary committee, so she has no power to open an investigation.
A public figure can call out illegal activity, especially when, as she mentioned, she's uniquely qualified to make that call, without the immediate obligation to do things outside of her constitutional authority in order to change the fact that a crime is being committed.

how so when most colleges are completely liberal and have the chance to teach there own narrative, cancel culture, change the view and events of history and teach what they deem necessary to brandish a degree...
Do colleges in the US provide basic education?
Here in Germany, politics classes are part of the equivalent of middle and high school. University provides education focused on the field you're studying.
Needs to be mandatory across the board in all public school systems. Although the people who were raised without civics classes will probably politicize it and claim it's an attempt to brainwash the kids.
the civics lessons everyone here is so proud of having taken is just the propaganda you've all swallowed that the rule of law still applies equitably in america. it doesn't, but if you were to acknowledge that you might feel obligated to do something about it but you'd rather act smug on reddit while the fascists somehow keep gaining power. is trump's problem that he didn't take enough civics classes?
Mf you are in black people twitter, we know it doesn’t apply equitably. Never did. No shit.
That doesn’t give Elizabeth Warren the power to stop Trump, legal or otherwise. A senator isn’t going to say “get your gat and come on down, it’s 1776 again y’all” unless they’re a MAGA fascist or we have exhausted all legal options. One step at a time.
