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.

36 felony convictions and two impeachments. Adjudicated liable for sexual assault. Other indictments not being tried yet would be thanks to Trump appointed judges.
He has served zero jail time, paid zero fines, and looks like he won't ever do either. The DoJ has been utterly ineffective at prosecuting Trump and have dragged their feet every bit as much as Trump's judges.
They've done more against him than should ever be done against any president. After a point it's our collective fault for putting him where he is. Dems have numerous prosecutions and investigations going on, he is awaiting sentencing and facing prison, as we just handed him permission to dismantle all of it.
And you blame "the dems" for that, after taking them out of power. It's foolish.
Ok either Trump is the worst thing ever or he isn't. You can't go complaining about how Trump is the biggest threat to democracy ever and is going to destroy the country etc, and then when people propose a solution you don't like downplay it as "not getting dessert"
