What does a Democracy have to do with a Constitutional Republic?
Democrats suddenly care about ethics... when the DOJ is flipping its hand at them.
How convenient.
Only Mueller’s failure to produce any evidence has “thwarted” his probe.
Okay,we have the prisoner,now we find the crime!
Rosenweasel is the one who is subverting and obstructing congress’ rightful oversight of the DOJ.
Soros meddling.
Precisely.
The only thing Jim Jordan is thwarting is the Deep State.
Democracy 21, a made-up organization that provides legal cover for getting these activists paid.
Can someone please tell me what law was broken if this was true?
The Silent Majority is growing weary. There will be a time, and it might be very soon, where the Majority rises up and says ‘enough is enough’. Washington should listen, because the backlash will not be pretty.
Mueller is a Stalinist running a Putsch.
Threatening an elected representative of the PEOPLE for doing his job means democracy21 are lapdogs for someone (who think they are attack dogs) who want to stop the constitutional checks and balances in our government.
The author sure does everything they can to make it sound official, but it’s not:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_21
An NGO founded in 1997 and is just what it looks to be, a sleeper NGO waiting to be activated.
To think that our Congressmen are not supposed to comment on the workings of government is ridiculous and is exactly how despots like Erdogan and Chavez subvertered their countries governance and how Madura maintains the crippling heavy handed governance of Venezuela.
Democracy 21 is NOT a government organization though that is what the author deceptively or stupidly implies by being loose with the language.
It's a partisan nongovernmental group.
Most likely the deception is intentional, to give credibility where none is deserved... an "appeal to authority."
Looks like we’re going to find out how far the evil ones can push the limit on illegal activity (while accusing Repubs of doing same) before the virtuous ones (with stones and spine, and the opportunity) come down hard on them.
By their stripes, ye shall know them. Fred Wertheimer was head of Common Cause, a more than slightly left-of-center activist group, for 20+ years. “Usual suspects” is in play.

Another Soros stooge group
Alinsky tactics.
Congress has oversight through committees, and can demand whatever information they damn well please.
DOJ/FBI either hand over the imformation requested, or their leadership is impeached, removed from office, and their agencies de-funded.
Anyone else think that name sounds like a Soros Open Society organization?
Of course it is. Before I clicked "post" I had to check to be sure...from their own web page Our Mission|Democracy 21:

Democracy 21 is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to making democracy work for all Americans. Democracy 21, and its education arm, Democracy 21 Education Fund, work to eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics, prevent government corruption, empower citizens in the political process and ensure the integrity and fairness of government decisions and elections.

I know, it is good for a laugh. This pap from their mission page is simply typical of the Left.
But this does tie into something many of us have known for a long time: The Left is at war with us. Many of us see this reality, but the vast majority of people on both the left and particularly on the right don't understand this.
Dan Bongino talked about it yesterday on his show, and likened it to getting in a boxing match, where all the rules are read out to both participants (no biting...no kicking, no weights or razors in gloves, etc) and when the fight begins, the conservative is getting nailed by weighted razored gloves and we are still at the point where we complain to the referee (the Media) and they say "I didn't see anything."
The good news may be that many of us have long since understood that complaining to the referee is useless, bought and paid for as they are.
