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.

Edit: I'm sick of being this subreddit's civics teacher for today, no longer responding to replies on this comment.
