Full title: The Biggest Political Scandal The Media is Missing – It Should Lead To Congressional Leadership Impeachment Hearings

Everyone is so caught up with their discussion of President Trump around the firing of FBI Director James Comey that they are completely overlooking the most explosive scandal in the history of congress.

This scandal, if exposed, *should* impeach: Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Richard Burr, Devin Nunes, Adam Schiff and Mark Warner.

The absence of their accountability shows the depth of corruption within Washington DC.

This is a must read article.

Senators are congressmen are not impeached by the House, and tried, convicted and removed by the Senate.

They are expelled by a two thirds vote of the House in which they sit.

[Jim Robinson]

Drain the swamp, bump!!

[Publius]

That should have read, "Senators and congressmen..."

[heterosupremacist]

Elijah Cummings?

[poconopundit]

Nice, Sundance does it again. How did the media miss this one?

I’ll bet the Trump people understand it’s significance and it was one of those straws that ultimately broke Camey’s back.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Pay close attention to the names and actions by congressional leadership as they respond to Director James Comey’s firing.

Nunes and Shiff are the head of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence. Burr and Warner are the heads of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Ryan and Pelosi are the heads of the House. McConnell and Schumer are the heads of the Senate.

The group functions as the Gang-of-Eight as a result of their position in congress and on the oversight committees. Yet it would appear they held no active interest in oversight of FBI Director James Comey’s intelligence activity.

Why is that?

Tell me again about how the UniParty doesn’t exist.
********************************************

Right there should be enough to tell you that ‘the swamp’ is very deep and dirty’...

[heterosupremacist]

Bernie Sanders? Lizzy Warren? Maxine Waters? Sheila Jackson Lee? Hank Johnson? The list is nearly endless...

[DrDude]

I agree it is very important. Is there a procedure and/or requirement that Comey should have followed? Would Lynch and/or Mccabe have also been held to these reporting standards.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree. It’s with no pleasure that I do, but it’s just irrefutable.

[indthkr]

Swamp creatures bump for later....

Director Comey is admitting to congress that for eight months he did not tell them about the counterintelligence investigation “because of the sensitivity of the matter“.

Well he does have a point. Congress can not be trusted to keep a secret.

If they think that they can score some political points they will have blabbed the secret to their trusted press allies before the hearing has concluded.

[cephalopod]

I’ve been of the opinion the last few days, that Trump should direct the DOJ to assign a special prosecutor to look into all of this Russian collusion nonsense. A fair SP could be found.
But, he also announces that in 3 months (when he and his team are cleared), DOJ will assign special prosecutors to examine the lives of every member of Congress.
He can start with the gang of 8 and expand from there. The swamp would drain quickly between convictions and retirements for personal reasons.

[pangaea6]

I’m all for a Trump ally in the primaries against Burr. Time we had a Peoples Party headed by Trump and his allies.

[TigersEye]

This is a must read article.

Yes, it is! +1

[gaijin]

So:

The executive branch opened an investigation into a PREZ CANDIDATE and NO ONE elected by the American people knew, other than the Prezident for almost A YEAR...?

I find that amazing.

More amazing:

Everyone in the legislative who was SUPPOSED to know doesn’t mind having been kept in the dark.

Interestingly enough the current title of the article (at the link) is “The Biggest Political Scandal The Media is Missing – It Should Lead To Congressional Leadership Censure…”

Perhaps detective should have the mods correct it.

[TigersEye]

They changed the title at the source since detective posted it so maybe it should stay as it is. The URL reflects its original title...

“I’m all for a Trump ally in the primaries against Burr. Time we had a Peoples Party headed by Trump and his allies.”

Burr was just reelected in 2016. He has 5 1/2 years of his 6 year term to serve. He has indicated he doesn’t plan to run for reelection. Senators in their last term are essentially unaccountable to the people.

PING!!!

Article and comments, esp #7

the “Gang of Eight“. The Go8 are exclusively responsible for overseeing all intelligence community activity as it relates to intelligence gathering and corresponding investigations.

Director Comey is openly admitting to beginning an intelligence operation/investigation in July 2016 and intentionally not notifying congress until March 2017. In essence, he is completely operating without oversight.

Thanks, detective
