We all remember the best of Trump’s campaign slogans – ‘Build the Wall!’ comes to mind. And my favorite – ‘Lock Her Up!’ Well, we’re just ten days into Trump’s great presidency. We’ve already started a wall. We’ve restricted immigration. We’ve backed out of bad and harmful trade deals. And it looks like we might finally be getting around to locking her up.
Every campaign promise, met, and we haven’t even hit two weeks. Trump moves fast.
The good news in this regard is a man named Jason Chaffetz. He’s Chair of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which is a long-winded and fancier way of saying he’s the guy who finds, proves, and prosecutes political corruption. In a nutshell, he’s Trump’s bulldog. And he’s got his sights set on Hillary Clinton.
We know this, because Chaffetz has ordered James Comey, the cowardly director of the FBI, to turn over all the Clinton emails from his worthless investigation. Keep watching this, because it’s going to be good.
[Copy of Congressional Order from Chaffetz to Comey]
It’s important to realize exactly what this means for Hillary. The FBI didn’t prosecute, or even charge the lying weasel, but Congressional investigations are very, very different. They can investigate anything, at any time, for any reason. And they’re not easily intimidated, either – no late-night meeting with Bill is going to make Chaffetz start sweating in his boots.
As the order makes clear, “the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives and may at ‘any time’ investigate ‘any matter’ as set forth in House Rule X.” It’s a little understated, but let’s get on the same page – ‘at any time’ ‘any matter’ is fair game.
In other words, please don’t think you’ve escaped.
Trump has total control of this situation, too. A Republican president, Republican House, and Republican Senate guarantees that there’ll be no screw-ups this time. And certainly no Democrats around trying to intimidate law enforcement.
And this time, Comey won’t be doing the investigating – he’ll be answering to a guy with the actual courage and leadership to bring some justice to American politics.
Keep watch. We have a wall, secure borders, a better economic future…and pretty soon we’ll have one less empty prison cell!
"What Hon?"
"We got to get the h*ll outta here. Where are those tickets?"
More exciting to watch this unfold that watching the Lady Gaga SUPERBOWL: Hillary pretty go buy her DEPENDS...and stock up.
and that is why COMEY was left behind by Trump, ladies and gents.
and you all thought Hitlery was given a pass..
I’d rather see Trump sing, “Let’s kick the hell out of ISIS” than Lady Gaga any day.
“More exciting to watch this unfold that watching the Lady Gaga SUPERBOWL: Hillary pretty go buy her DEPENDS...and stock up.”
The left are going to burn down the cities.
Are you sure your optimism is warranted? Maybe I don’t understand the differences between Congressional hearings and Congressional investigations. When Hillary was in that 11 hour hearing, was that an investigation? Some interesting things came out, but mostly it was Kabuki theater, with the Democrats using all of their questioning time to rehabilitate her. It didn’t seem very effective.
Not going to hold my breath on this one just yet....
The evidence will need to be overwhelming for even Trump to make this move...
I am not saying he won’t, but the evidence will need to be completely airtight and far more than minor indiscretions for this one to come back into the public view. It may, but my guess is, if it does it will be a good while yet.
The Hildabeast must be held to answer for her crimes and corruption lest she be a thorn in our side in the future. The entire Clinton name/narrative needs to be exposed, Chelsea included, in order to bury their influence ......... forever.
Hey Chaffitz, don’t forget all those Just-Us Dept. documents Holder failed to turn over to Congress in the
fast and furious Scandal.
Let’s see how far Eric the Red wants to fight the “new” Administration on behalf of the Soviet Republic of Calipornia.
The Clintons could flee to any of these foreign paradises that have no extradition treaty with the United States...
Afghanistan, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Central
African Republic, Chad, Mainland China, Comoros, Congo (Kinshasa), Congo (Brazzaville), Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Libya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Maldives, Mali, Marshall Islands,
Mauritania, Micronesia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal,
Niger, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Samoa, São Tomé & Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia,
Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vatican, Vietnam and Yemen.
stocking up on popcorn.
We’ll see if Chaffetz is also brave enough to get out of the way of the Harry Reid bribe Grand Jury. Trust me, it’s big stuff.
Montenegro?
I was thinking Qatar or Dubai or some other Moslem hellhole that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the U.S.
The Clintons exiling themselves would be essentially an admission of guilt, and would eliminate the necessity of what would inevitably become a show trial and a huge distraction from the real work of getting the economy started again.
So, I think the Clintons bolting the country might be the most reasonable outcome here.
Who knew hiltery was a prophet?
Montenegro? That’s racist. Like when they put sheets on sale and call it a White Sale. Everybody knows it’s cut the Klan wears sheets.
