Congress does not try and convict. That is the court’s function. The ignorance is stunning.

And unfortunately, Congress doesn't get anything worth a damn out of these hearings. It's all grandstanding, obfuscation, misdirection, talking point nonsense, and political one-upmanship.

It's the way it is, and the way it always has been.

no, but they can call for investigations to push for convictions and put the fear of God into folks- it’s funny that the left keeps getting council to investigate the right, but somehow the right can’t seem to muster the courage to call for council to investigate the left-

[[we’d actually prefer gowdy be effective enough that convictions of felons actually happen instead of just ‘making them look ‘silly’ during questioning’]]

Where in my statement did i say that they did? Or that it was Gowdy’s job to convict?

[[The ignorance is stunning.]]

You bet it is-
