and thanks for the extra committee cash

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That Constitution thing. Separation of powers.

The House is part of the LEGISLATIVE branch of government.

The only investigative power the House has is in regard to legislation.

Criminal investigation/prosecution is the purview of the DOJ.

Too bad. So sad.

When confronted about the committee potentially recommending criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, Thompson replied: “We don’t have authority.”

Nooooo kidding...

I was there, and it was NOTHING like Pearl Harbor or the Civil War. Politicians exaggerate. I have lost all my trust in the Uniparty.

It's a congressional committee, not a grand jury.

I fear their prospective legislative proposals.

889 days takes you back to January 2000. Math be hard.

[Bullish]

Just another huge waste of money then, right Bennie?

[Chode]

vs the ever respectful left at Trump’s inauguration...

I’m no expert on process, but I kind of suspect that, while legally constituted committees can refer suspected wrongdoers to the DOJ, this committee is not legally constituted by virtue of Nancy’s appointment of all the members, excluding anyone who would stand against the foregone conclusion, and therefore lacks the authority to make recommendations to the DOJ. Or to anyone else, for that matter. It’s a Stalinist show trial.
