“...but the fact is lots of people read it...”

Not true, Boomer. The rat democrats in the fascist federal bureaucracy read it, and it’s paid for by you and me, the taxpayers.

If Trump were to issue an executive order that taxpayer dollars cannot be used to pay for subscriptions to the fascist Washington Post, the paper would die within six months.

The Russians tried to weekend Hillary because they thought she would be President.
Russians are now trying to weaken President Trump by subtly encouraging the Russian narrative. The press are willing accomplices.

There was collusion, Democrats & Russian Ambassador.

I’d be behind such a rule. Federal tax dollars should not go to such an anti-government fake news publication. What states, counties, and cities do is their own business of course.

I saw him on a few foensic files and he was an awesome, real life Prosecutor. Does that count?

Well, as investment brokers are apt to say, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

Mr. Gowdy is just another player in the kabuki theater we call congress. He has neither power nor authority. All he has is a chair and a microphone.

Sessions, on the other hand, has the power and authority to put an end to this bullshittery; yet the first thing he does is take himself out of the game. Then he disappears.

But before that, Sessions (like Gowdy) had a great record of upholding the law.

How do we know that Gowdy would behave at all differently if he was to be the replacement for Sessions? After all, given the inaction and hand-wringing of our congressmen after the historic sweeping victory we gave them in 2016, it's pretty clear that one DC creep is pretty much the same as the next.

My faith in congress to do the right thing is less than zero. My belief that they are far more likely (and with great joy as their bank accounts fill) to do harm than good to us citizens is 100%. As a body, congress is a den of worthless liars and pearl-clutching cowards.

Interesting that an intercept of a conversation between a Russian Ambassador and a Russian official is so easily turned into a CERTAIN conversation that took place between Sessions and the Ambassador. Perhaps the leaker is lying. Perhaps the Ambassador, who appears to have been working with the Democrats, is lying.

Also strange, since they knew Sessions had a meeting with this Ambassador, that the content of that discussion didn't come out earlier. Perhaps they needed time to prime the Ambassador for the conversation with the Russian official?
