I will expect the RATs to name one each of black, woman, homosexual, handicapped and hispanic. If one of those is a muzzie or some combination of the aforementioned, so much the better.

The Republican members of the Select Committee will be:
•Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN) •Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), Chairman
•Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)
•Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS)
•Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL)
•Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL)
•Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA)

Coincidentally, these same names just popped up on an IRS audit request, and also on a request for FBI files.

Glad he wasted no time in naming the Republican members.

Time for Pelosi to do her job and name theirs and stop the politicking.

The only one I actually recognize and at this point and trust, other than Gowdy, is Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) are in my opinion AAA-1 choices. I am not familiar with the other three, but I hope they are close to being as good.

This must be kind of humiliating for Issa. But, he has made some mistakes.

Disappointed that Jason Chaffetz is not included; but still a good panel.

Susan Wiant Brooks (born August 25, 1960) is an American politician who has been the United States Representative for Indiana’s 5th congressional district since 2013. The district includes most of northern Indianapolis, as well as many of the city’s wealthy northern and eastern suburbs. Brooks, a Republican, previously served as the United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana from 2001 to 2007.

Jordan was named Watchdog of the Treasury (1996, 2000, 2004), Outstanding Legislator (2004), Outstanding Freshman Legislator (1996), Friend of the Taxpayer (1997), and Pro-Life Legislator of the Year (1998) by the United Conservatives of Ohio, the Defender of Life award from the Ohio Right to Life Society, and the 2001 Leadership in Government Award from the Ohio Roundtable and Freedom Forum. Additionally, Senate President Bill Harris appointed Jordan to be the chairman of the Senate Judiciary on Criminal Justice Committee.

Roby was born in Montgomery, Alabama and attended New York University, where she received a bachelor of music degree. She then entered the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, receiving her J.D. in 2001. She is the daughter of Joel F. Dubina, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

Before entering politics, she worked at the law firm of Copeland, Franco

Roskam was a partner in the law firm Salvi, Roskam & Maher, a personal injury firm. He was named “Best Oral Advocate” by the American College of Trial Lawyers. The firm, now called Salvi & Maher, is politically notable because former Republican Senate candidate Al Salvi and former Republican House candidate Kathy Salvi are also partners in the firm. The Chicago Tribune noted that Roskam earned over $615,000 in 2005 as a personal injury trial lawyer.

After his parents took a trip to Vietnam and saw American veterans’ dog tags for sale on the street, Roskam, along with his parents worked to return the dog tags to their owners or the families of the deceased.

Westmoreland was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Margaret Ferrell (née Lawson) and Leon Acton Westmoreland.[ He grew up in metro Atlanta. He has no degree beyond a high school diploma. He attended Georgia State University, but dropped out to work in a family construction business in which he later became an executive.

As a U.S. congressman, Westmoreland cosponsored a bill to place the Ten Commandments in the House of Representatives and the Senate. Westmoreland also sponsored a bill that the Ten Commandments could be displayed in courthouses in a historical setting.

Pompeo attended the U.S. Military Academy where he majored in Mechanical Engineering, graduating first in his class in 1986 and subsequently serving in the Regular Army as an Armor Branch cavalry officer from 1986 to 1991.[3] He subsequently graduated from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. He then worked as a lawyer for Williams & Connolly

If the Dems boycott this committee, four more Republicans should be picked, leaving one empty chair to be or not be seated by a Dem.
