In response to a question about information likely to leave the Department of Justice with Eric Holder when the attorney general steps down, and whether Congress or the media will be able to uncover information heretofore withheld by Holder and his colleagues, Attkisson told us:

If any change in Republican Party vitality is to come...ever...it had better have started yesterday, day after the 2014 elections. And the vigorous effort best not let up...if it exists.
We have Republican,show trials, I mean hearings!
They need to give Trey Gowdy carte blanche in all senses of the word. Investigate and prosecute.
Keep dreaming. They are only interested in keeping their seat on the gravy train. You'd be hard pressed to find more than one of them who is interested in truly serving the lowly serfs or risking their all for any of us. In that regard, the Rs are just as bad as the Ds.
“They need to give Trey Gowdy carte blanche in all senses of the word. Investigate and prosecute.”
I heartily agree with you in all respects, but with this admin, that would require a lifetime post for Gowdy and then some.
Actually, since show trials were just a pretense to justify the predetermination of guilt, I don’t think that is going to happen. For example, I love to see the senate decide to rid itself of Harry Reid, then conduct a show trial, and unseat him because he is only there because of massive massive fraud, but that of course would never happen. The senate cares more for its own than the rights of the people of Nevada.
The old GOP blood is tired, settled, comfortable in the club chairs. Can’t see McCain, McConnell, Graham, and their vintage peers getting excited or energetic about much other than another cocktail party or an invitation to be on the tube. For these geriatric mediocrities, the collegiality of the Senate is all that matters. It’s a private, exclusive club and nobody wants to be asked to leave.
