This is so mind-bogglingly huge, I still can't believe it. It would explain---in part---why the GOP is so cowardly. Much of the cowardice is ignorance and being manipulated by their own staffs.

I have no idea if they can fire all these people but this is a fifth column.

Now, opinion only: Who saw "Charlie Wilson's War?" What do you want to bet that the majority of the "staffers" look like Charlie's staffers and/or are homosexuals? I never put much stock in the homosexual mafia angle of DC, but after this, I need to re-think.

The top staffers of the committee are David Rapallo and Susanne Sachsman, both Democrats, who each are paid $172,000 in salary.


Only in the Beltway. What? Are there no replacements that can be found for these partisan pencil pushers? Or, is it more likely the Uniparty is so entrenched they don’t even think there is problem with crummy staff personnel making $170K.

I never imagined that Republicans in Congress don’t have their own Republican staffers. Perhaps these huge “joint” committees operate from a “joint” management in staff hiring, but I’d have expected that Rs had the basic sense to insist that they get an appropriate proportion of the hiring slots. Having a staff made up almost entirely of ‘Rats is sure way to steer the committee’s work in one (nefarious) direction. This is outrageous and must be changed!

Well now we know what is going on with Chaffetz...

When he came out with that ‘cock a mamie’ story of wanting to run for Gov. of Utah in 2020, so here he comes to Utah, got tomatoes thrown at him in one ‘townhall’ and three others the got ‘booed off stage’ townhalls...we don’t want him, we don’t want Mike Lee and we really don’t want Hatch...but we don’t want the John McCain-Mitt Romney butt kisser ISIS lover ‘Egg McMuffin’ either...

We can see that the Romney Mormon Mafia is trying to run things, and we don’t like it...so now Chaffetz goes running to Fox News to be important, he fits right in...

They are all ‘turn coats’ people...there isn’t an honest Representative or Senator that is in D.C. right now, they have all been either bought off or blackmailed and all because we didn’t use the right to vote and stand up for who we wanted...

We did with Our President, you seen the power we have, we got President Trump and with all odds against us with the Globalists, New World Order and Deep State WE WON PEOPLE, THE AMERICAN VOTER GOT INTO OFFICE WHO WE WANTED!!!

Now we have to fight to get into the House and Senate former military, good solid people and we need to go out into every state and find them, if you think they are going to just appear before our very eyes, you might as well give up...IT’S UP TO THE AMERICAN VOTER TO GET THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO RUN OUR COUNTRY!!!

Actually, the House Oversight Committee has 40 members: 24 Rs and 18 Ds.

With 7 sub-committees, I suppose it is not too surprising that they have a big staff. But it is scandalous if they really allow almost all of that staff to be Democrats. Just insane.

Isn’t this just representative of the area? 92% of D.C. voted for Hillary.

I’m sick and tired © of being told what the problem is with seemingly NOTHING EVER BEING DONE TO FIX IT.

I saw this exact report a couple of hours ago when I came home from work, and I nearly dropped off my chair, professor.

Like you, it makes me wonder how many other committees are made up the same way. If it’s what it looks like from here, nothing now surprises me....going all the way back to Boehner.

I cast my first presidential vote for Reagan, and I was so excited to do this that I was like a cheap watch in a bucket of magnets. True believer.

And yet here I am, all those years later, with the rapid, (and some horrific) changes that have come to this country and now I wonder about Official GOP:

1. Do they not understand that we are in a WAR?
2. Are their jobs more important than the fact that we are in a WAR and they don’t care, willing to let it all go?
3. Are they this lazy that they can’t even be bothered to find out who is running the show on their f*cking committees and figure out their motives?

This is why, despite what all polls show that only 20% or so of the country is crazy ass left wing, that they keep winning. The left regards every open job in gov’t, from the lowliest clerk in the mailroom to the head of a campaign as a job they MUST have for themselves.

We don’t need only ONE Trump. We need about 10,000 more seated in gov’t.

I’m bummed out and going to bed.

Question worth pursueing- How many of these walkouts have ties or have been compromised by the Pakistani IT gang running amok on congressional computers?

Another reason DC congressional offices and the Senators and Congress critters should be decentralized back to their respective states...

If true, I’m not surprised at all. The GOPe wants the same crooked government that the Democrats want.

GOOD! As soon as they are out, lock the doors and hire new people to replace them.
