The former associate DOJ deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr did NOT testify today as scheduled!
” but I dont think actual criminal investigations like for their targets to be called before Congress”
Congress is superior to any investigator. Since congress can defund them and pass a law closing down the investigator’s office. Congress can abolish the FBI and impeach any judge who impedes this.
So yeah, even if investigators don’t like it, Congress is first if it wants to be. You don’t let the DOJ tail wag the dog.
Listen you jerk!
One of our Sr. Exec’s was canned for including a few too many details in his staff notes.
HE had sources in that session, as we were the offended contractor, and it was his program.
I could be wrong but maybe intel cmte didn’t subpoena but house Justice cmte certainly is or has.
First Ohr and McCabe refuse to show up for a Congressional oversight hearing as a job responsibility and. condition of employment is both a firing offense and a good way to incriminate yourself and destroy your credibility in the court of public opinion - the forum where political cases are won or lost.
Next comes formal subpoenas where the guys will have to assert the 5th
Not a happy place to be for guys in their positions
Is Bruce Ohr still alive?
Only Republicans are expected to respect the law.
“...refused to even show up.... Isn’t this his second time?”
Well, that explains it.
If there were no consequences the first time, why bother?
Speaking of HRC, she seems to be a bit quiet lately...
The Night of the Hillary’s Long Knives ?
Yelp! Giving them rope to hang themselves.
Great IDEA!
Give Ohr THE MANNAFORT TREATMENT.
Oh, I forgot, only the FBI has kick azz authority. Congress can only issue subpoenas and refer the no-shows to the Justice Department, for enforcement and prosecution action.

From your lips to Gods ear. I hope she is listening.
“out the back door to the Russians for cash and diamonds.”
If you aren’t a Brussels diamond merchant, only a booger eating moron would accept diamonds as payment for anything. Diamonds are a literal cartel, sitting there on a mountain of diamonds, eking out a small supply designed to keep prices very high on a common commodity.
The system is not designed to buy them back. Your bag of diamonds is only useful for getting laid.... maybe.
I think youre the only one who gets it. 50 posts in, and youre the first to get it.
Amazing isnt it. Gowdy has been saying the same thing until hes horse, for years. No one is listening. They keep screaming, as if that will change the Constitution and the law.
Yes.
The Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate can arrest anyone who violates Senate rules, including the President.
I would assume, theoretically, that any federal law enforcement officer with arrest capabilities *COULD* arrest a sitting President; however, from a practicality viewpoint, it would likely need to be a Secret Service agent.
That there is funny.
Arrest this bastard. And his wife.
