(snip) -- Four Democrats and Four Republicans (four minority party and four majority party political leaders) for a total of eight. Four from the House and Four from the Senate. –Understand the Gang of Eight Here– The Gang-of-Eight can, if they choose, interact with the intelligence product they oversee with the same level of security clearance as the originating compartment being reviewed.
Only these eight members can interact with the intelligence product in this way. This ensures their ability to conduct oversight. The eight elected officials also hold oversight on all covert intelligence operations and are briefed on all presidential finding memos.

.........I’m sure that this site and another respected few will have been well referenced come testimony time. And frankly, I’m beside myself with anticipation. It will be like watching a movie after reading the book. Knowing what’s coming next but hoping with every hope that it’s going to meet or exceed your expectations. Would love to see SD in the credits.
Pretty great.
FR is certainly among those "repected few sites".
There's plenty of dirt out there......remember, "sure-thing" Hillary was not supposed to lose. They operated on sheer arrogance----they "knew" they'd never be found out. Hillary would sweep it all under the Oval Office rug.
I just love it when a Democrat plan falls apart.
The Sessions pot thing makes me think he’s been instructed to buy time, to create distractions, as the impending cataclysm builds behind the scenes.
Otherwise, it would not add up.
Enjoy Panama!I’m corrently in Colombia for a few months...my annual getaway
“Gang of Eight” ......... bad setup. (jmo)

I agree. Either make is seven or nine. Equal numbers automatically provide roadblocks. The minority party should have one less member. Why do they get an equal voice when they were not elected equally by We the People?
Wow.
All lai out here by sundance. Thanx for linking
“Congressional Oversight” Is there a bigger oxymoron I’m yet not aware?
E-V-E-R-Y agency under Zero was weaponized vs. The People, and Congress did\does NOTHING. Oh, they raised their girly voices here or there, but no reduction in budget, MAYBE a *few* firings, no illegality JAIL time.
“Who me\us?! I\we didn’t ‘know’!” The tits-on-a-boar Uniparty strikes again
This is an old story that goes way back to the Abscam investigation of the early 1980’s.
The FBI quickly got the message that they must NEVER EVER EVER investigate Congress again if they hope to retain their funding.
Otherwise, it would not add up.

I think you are correct.
I think I smell a storm coming in.
I just love it when a Democrat plan falls apart.

She would have needed 'wall to wall' carpeting and not that circular rug that's there now.

A very telling phrase, very important turn of the screw: It certainly confirms what we’ve seen from the Big Three of the Clapper-Comey-FBI-NSA-CIA heads using their power against enemies of their Big State.
So, of the 8, only Nunes is active. The 4 democrats? Pelosi, Schumer (formerly Reid). Deliberately ignorant, ignoble and ignoring the rot and the corruption. Using it actually.
McConnell? Ignoring it. Doesn’t care as long his power is protected.
Ryan? Ignorant and ignoring it. His power requires no upset of HIS apple cart.
But, Look! A Wolff! Distractions and deliberate ignorance from Oboma-Hillary’s national press corpse.
Thanks your update is now stored in my documents.
While you list many prosecutorial accomplishments which *might* have taken place under an alternative time-line with a different, more aggressive AG, there are a couple of objections that could have made the situation worse.
I'm referring, of course, to claims of moral equivalence that Trump, like Hussein, was using the power of his office & weaponsized departments to persecute his political rivals. Even now, we see hints of claims that Trump is obsessed over Clinton's emails, etc. Imagine if an AG like Pruitt had been front and center; the media would be blaring enough publicity to taint any jury pool.
As it is, the ultimate reveal is coming along in what seems like a perfect manner. Trump can still effectively profess independence and distance himself from criticism of political revenge. Even better, when it is disclosed that the criminal justice system itself is hopelessly compromised, then he should have enough political support to suggest moving this "treason affair" over to the UCMJ for proper, impartial adjudication.
I added the wide white borders so Twitter would not clip off the top and bottom in their visible feed pane. You can cut them off for a better sideways fit on FR.
Unless hes just interested in policing Pot and nothing else.
Steele definitely deserves a place of Honor with your pack of anti America Losers in the DOJ/FBI!
Thanks!
How many are willing to go down for treason and sedition for Obama and Clinton? Who’s willing to cut a deal for leniency? Stay tuned...
