Agree.

These Gowdy supporters here are in for a rude awakening when
Hillary runs circles around these clowns.

Don’t forget the War against women angle too, Norm.

I bet the GOP does not even put her under oath.

REQUEST???

Order her drunk fanny to TESTIFY

Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!

Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)

If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.

Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.

Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.

Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

Maybe they could import Rubio! He’s tenacious! And his gang of idiots experience proves he’s the man for the job.

Maybe McCain. Or even go outside the senaate for the import and get Jeb! He could giver a medal for appearing!

Maybe Walker who could demand her testimony and then evolve his position after thinking about it a while.

Or Christie! He;s a pitbull. And solidly conservative. you’d never see him arm in arm with a democrat.

Not only is she in contempt of Congress, she is in contempt of the American people.

In essence, she's a very contemptible person.

I know this doesn’t exactly relate to the main topic, BUT if I didn’t pay rent, no where to live; if I didn’t pay my car payment, no car to drive; if I didn’t pay health insurance and I got sick, who would pay for that?

My point being: Since when are we so important we will determine which one of something would we do?

She is no better than the rest of us, so pull up your big girl panties, Ms Clinton, if you wear any, and act like an adult!!!!!!!!!!!

” Well, they are the “lessor evil”.”

Actually, not anymore. Since November, Obama has gotten 100% of what he wanted, and Norm and I both have 1,000 batting averages : )

Get the bich in there, declare her in contempt, and throw her in the House Jail.

Keep her there until you start getting some answers.

You all are assuming she will testify. I bet she will take the 5th just like Lois. Really, what are they going to do to Former Sec of State, Senator and First Lady when she does this? Nothing. Just like Lois. If the GOP tries to do more, she will scream the “war on women squeal”.
