According to Trey Gowdy and the Nixon history, Congress can call for (request) a Special Prosecutor, but the Justice Department provides him. That is there J O B.
In the case of Nixon, the Republican appointed Justice Department head provided the SP and the likes of Hillary worked for the prosecution side.
Gowdy said we will never see a SP under the Obama administration, months and months ago. Gowdy is exposing Boehner’s resistance to rock the boat before the election. Always, an election out there.
Next?
In 1972-1974, it was a Democrat controlled Congress going after Nixon, now it is a Republican controlled Congress, evidently wanting to do nothing of the sort to an opposition party President, who demonstrably has broken laws and violated his oath of office numerous times.
Boehner's resistance to rock the boat has been known for years, which is why there was finally a challenge to his Speakership this January.
I am waiting for Gowdy to take the bull by the horns. There is nothing left to lose at this point--except our country.
Quite frankly, If Cankles is reluctant to show up, she needs to be dragged in to testify, under oath. Let her dare to take the Fifth, and then go back on the campaign trail.
Apart from Gowdy, where is the GOP led charge against Hillary's obvious lawbreaking regarding her emails and her conflicts of interest at the State Dept.? All I hear are crickets.
It cannot be more obvious that the GOP wants none of this, and they think they can just continue to throw out red meat to right wingers every so often, to keep us voting for them.
Those days are over.
