I heard this same argument from both Hannity and Mark Levin on their shows last night, and it is a very effective way to frame the discussion going forward:

First, it's wasn't the Russians who colluded to steal the election, it was the US Department of Justice.

Second, the only one truly trying to obstruct justice, now, is that same US Department of so called Justice.

which makes sense why Sessions recused himself.

I don’t know his authority or abilities, if he could be doing more to fix this or if it’s bester he seems to be doing nothing yet all these people are revealing themselves as they are?

If it was a REAL Investigation by CONgress, these recalcitrant witnesses would be in PRISON already.

Dog meet Pony!

Sections 192–194 of title 2 of the United States Code provide:
Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress,
to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or
any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who having appeared, refuses
to answer any questions pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100, and imprisonment in a
common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which
he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the
ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or
otherwise render him infamous.
Whenever a witness summoned as mentioned fails to testify, and the facts axe reported to either
House, the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House, as the case may be, shall certify the
fact under the seal of the Senate or House to the district attorney for the District of Columbia, whose

“First, it’s wasn’t the Russians who colluded to steal the election, it was the US Department of Justice.”

Great take, but unfortunately completely true, and it is not Trump obstructing justice.

We need a national search party to seek and find Jeff Sessions. Has he been spotted lately? I think I have seen advertisements for male hormone enhancement on TV. Get his secretary to spike his coffee.

I would predict that his days at his job are numbered. If the Mueller fiasco ever ends, it will be without his help.

Had to assume Rogers told Trump the worst.

TUCKER CARLSON: Mueller’s ‘Right Hand Man’ Was Attorney For Hillary Clinton IT Aide (VIDEO)

“The news that senior FBI agent Peter Strzok exchanged anti-Trump, pro-Hillary text messages with another FBI official matters—though we’ve yet to see the content.”

Excerpted from IBD. Role of Peter Strzok in changing the memo accusing Clinton of being grossly negligent to extremely careless! (link to full article is below.)

Then, in early November, we learned that an early draft of that memo had accused Clinton of being “grossly negligent” in handling classified material because she used an unsecured private email server while Secretary of State.

At some point during the editing process of that memo, “grossly negligent” became “extremely careless,” which is how Comey put it in the final version.

The change was monumental. The criminal statute regarding mishandling classified material specifically cites “gross negligence” as a violation of the law, even if there is no intent involved. Had that language remained, Comey’s claim that “no reasonable prosecutor” would take the Clinton email case would have been laughable.

So changing the language was obviously meant to clear the path for letting Clinton off the hook, whatever the facts might be.

This week, the other shoe in the memo story dropped, when it was reported that Peter Strzok had made that particular edit.

Strzok, for those who don’t know, had been kicked off the Trump/Russia investigation this summer — a fact we also only learned about in the past few days — after it turned out that he’d been sending anti-Trump, pro-Hillary texts to an FBI colleague.

Of course, this entire Russian collusion effort on behalf of the left is a complete cover-up of their illegal activities during the election campaign. AND THEY STILL FREAKING LOST.

FOX news just covered this exact WSJ article on live TV.

The Democratic talking head said that the article’s premise was upside down, that Congress needs to heel to Mueller, not the other way around, as Mueller is the only actual criminal investigation.

The Conservative talking head missed the perfect chance to say that since there seems to be more crimes being uncovered in the DoJ, than ever existed in the Trump campaign, it’s time for a new special counsel to investigate the DoJ.

To his credit, he did at least say none of what Congress is asking for should in any way interfere with Mueller’s investigation. The information digs at the root of Mueller and the DoJ’s credibility, but there’s no indication that Mueller is investigating corruption in the DoJ, nor should any such attempted investigation by him be considered trustworthy due to conflicts of interest.

Start putting lots of DC criminals in jail or shut up. Any _reports_ or government _officials_ talking about doing something when it doesn’t happen, need to shut up. We need talkers who are doing something about DC, the land of the lawless.

“Obstruction of justice” and “constitutional crisis” are weasel words right out of Watergate. Watergate occurred before Tom Landry brought the shotgun offense back to football.

But the commie/media playbook never changes.
