Remember when House Republicans went after Socks the cat?

Republicans seem a bit investigation-shy (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/opinion/whats-the-matter-with-republicans.html?_r=0) these days, don't they? Well, as you might remember (http://mashable.com/2017/01/25/trump-staff-private-emails/) from election season, that wasn't always the case. During Bill Clinton's administration, House Republicans even called for an inquiry into Socks, the First Cat.
Socks was a fairly **rmal cat, and by most accounts, he seemed to be a good and cute boy. Adopted by Chelsea Clinton as a lost kitten, he enjoyed the things that most cats do: catnip (which press photographers used to lure him closer on the White House lawn), skulking around the grounds, and loathing his canine counterpart, Buddy the dog.
