“Too bad the Republicans in congress are not curious enough to go after him".Sorry to inform you but that is not the biggest problem.That’s the biggest problem right there.
Congress, even if they did "go after him" doesn't have the power to do anything about it.
Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to what has been happening the last year+ would know that.
The biggest problem is the people who should "go after him" are complicit with him, even hired him, and won't do it for that reason.

First off, congress is not powerless. Congress has the power and the resources to investigate and expose. As George Mason said, Members of Congress “are not only Legislators but they possess inquisitorial powers”. This is a part of our system of checks and balances. Moreover, the House has subpoena power and contempt power, and can cite for perjury. In fact, through a contempt citation the House can turn the matter over to a U.S. attorney in DC to bring the matter before a grand jury for action.
The point is, right now we need facts. Congress has the power to lay the foundation for further discovery and action by the executive branch. But first we need facts and the citizens of this country need to see and hear what went on.
Do you think the Democrats in congress would be standing idly by if their president had been the target of political espionage by federal agencies? No, there would be wall-to-wall investigations and endless hearings.
As FReeper ‘cradle of freedom’ said in this thread “You notice how the democrats circle the wagons behind anyone of them who is in trouble.”
Congress could in fact do many things. The Republican controlled congress is not powerless; it is gutless.
Secondly, it always amuses me when people drag out the thoughtless and instinctive refrain that “anyone paying attention would know that.” Someone else will probably echo that same tired line on another thread today. LOL
