Our government operates under the Constitution with three branches empowered with - and limited by - a separation of specific powers held by each of the three branches. One power of the Legislative Branch (Congress) is to investigate matters through hearings, and Congress may even recommend specific criminal charges to the Executive Branch. But Congress does not have the power to indict or to prosecute - a stubborn fact that eludes many of our frustrated FReeper brethren.
Only the Executive Branch (through the Department of Justice, led by the Attorney General and ultimately headed by the President) may bring charges and prosecute them in criminal trials. So if we are frustrated over the lack of criminal indictments to date, we must look straight at President Trump. The president is solely responsible for the conduct of his entire Executive Branch.
Gowdy and Goodlatte have done their jobs well, forcing PUBLIC light on the crimes of Obama, the Clintons, and their cronies on both sides of the aisle. Gowdy and Goodlatte did everything they should and could do, while the president spent two years purging his departments of the Deep State's holdovers and embedded careerists.
The next steps lie exactly where they should, with President Trump and his freshly-drained Executive Department, to fully and faithfully execute the laws. That was not possible until the swamp was drained. President Trump has the ball and now holds all the cards. Pray for his wisdom and protection.
Joe diGenova certainly knows all of this, so we are left to wonder why diGenova is attacking two of the men most responsible for bringing the details of Deep State's criminal conspiracy to light. What role is he playing? Until the pieces of this intricate chessboard fall into place, there is much we will not know. But the timing belongs to President Trump.
So, did goodlatte or gowdy recommend any charges?
Great post!
Thanks for the refresher in “Civics”. Unfortunately, and thanks to public education, a vast majority of Americans from all political persuasions don’t have a clue concerning much of our Constitution other than oft talked about 1st and 2nd Amendments.
And as usual these types of threads are full of emotional hyperbole.
The president is solely responsible for the conduct of his entire Executive Branch.
I see. So when POTUS is publicly threatened by sitting Senators of his own party that a new AG pick will not be confirmed I suppose that’s his “sole responsibility” too? The fact is the beltway GOP has massively undermined POTUS’s ability to manage the executive branch. Only a committed Never Trumper couldn’t see that at this point. Sorry.
Thank you much for explaining that! Sometimes I guess we need to be reminded of things we once learned, but have forgotten. I don’t think some people on here are listening, though. Yesterday’s conservative darling is todays whipping post, I’m afraid! Look what happened to Ted Cruz during the primaries, for an example, many conservatives turned on him with a fury!
