Literally every time something breaks, like @tracybeanz finding documentary evidence of search warrants have seized thousands of TENEX AND TENAM documents in ongoing investigations of U1, or me showing there is a DIA/Flynn connection the SJC wants to declassify, what happens?— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 24, 2018
It's spun with an instant response of "Here's why this new news doesn't really mean anything because nothing's still happening."
A lot of these people are invested in the idea since CONGRESS is the only ones doing any 'real' investigating, nothing much is happening.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 24, 2018
I wish I could take THAT particular false narrative and set it on fire.
How many times do I have to prove this?
CONGRESS IS NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT BODY AND CANNOT DO ANY REAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS.
It can, however, DESTROY and compromise ongoing investigations.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 24, 2018
You CANNOT...and I want you to pay attention here, OK? focus on this....you CANNOT separate the politics from evidence handed over to Congress. It's impossible.
Once you hand over ANYTHING to Congress it's politicized. Democrats get the evidence at the same time R's do.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 24, 2018
We actually have had since Sessions took it over a DOJ that REFUSES to let the grandstanding ass grabbing leaking drunks of Congress *POLITICIZE THEIR KEY CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS by handing over key evidence to it.
You don't like that?
I don't care.— Brian Cates (@drawandstrike) December 24, 2018
Congress is not doing the REAL criminal investigations. You forget this at your peril.
Congress is NOT a law ENFORCEMENT body. They can't prosecute & aren't equipped for criminal investigations.

Re: your post 877
I wish people would have remembered that regarding Gowdy and the Benghazi hearings. Congress is the legislative body, not law enforcement or prosecution.

Seems like the reputation of congress critters ain’t what it used to be, eh?
Another great, encouraging post...After decades of frustration, I need encouraging posts. Thank you LJ
I keep wanting to post this idea... Congress has oversight, they can do investigations of events, how and why things happened the way that they did --- but they can only make criminal referrals to DoJ.
Of course if DoJ does not respond to Congress, the politicos can DEFUND the DoJ... Right! After Santa fills their stockings by the chimney with care...
