If the FBI investigates, can’t witnesses just tell the FBI to pound states?
In other words, FBI cannot subpoena. All they can do it take statements from willing witnesses, correct?
If so, Smyth, Judge, etc. are likely to tell the FBI to pound sand.
"The seriousness of the charges are such that we simply cannot allow this disgusting man to have the swing vote occupy a seat of the highest honor in the land."
That senile idiot running the show -- apparently considering retiring (something he should have done a LONG time ago) -- could not get a single sentence out of his mouth this morning without garbling two or three SIMPLE words. And now, he called the vote, not even knowing what Flake had just demanded! He had NO clue! So he called a two hour adjournment so that they could explain it to him!
Incredible, just f'n incredible...
Two thoughts:
First, when they torpedo this nomination, there'll be fighting in the streets.
This country is sitting on a powder keg. People didn't vote for Trump because they liked his hair -- or his lifestyle, or anything else about his persona. They voted for him because they are FED UP with what's happening.
For the left, though, this nomination represents the one thing NO ONE dare speak in public: the swing vote that will ensure defeat for the decades of careful work they've pursued to forward their agenda. Now, with victory -- OR defeat -- just one vote away, they will fight tooth and nail to block him from being seated.
Do not put ANYTHING past them! They will fight like trapped rats (yeah, pun intended).
And the icing on the cake? I said "First," above, so now comes "Second," -- if this does provoke fighting in the streets, that will suit them just fine.
They'll be able to bring the hammer down. All limits OFF. Martial law, you name it, they'll do it -- they'll jump on it like a lizard on a fat juicy maggot. They'll finally be able to get to the finish line: full totalitarian rule.
Welcome to the future.
God, I'm so glad I'm an old man, without that many years remaining. I could do without that whole "housebound old cripple" part, but, you take the hand you're dealt.
But I fear for my wife and my son, who'll have to endure a full house "Can't happen here!" nightmare.
