“Don’t pick a politician or a former politician. Pick someone who has been very outspoken against the DOJ”

Absolutely! Personally, I would go out of my way to pick someone who is really smart, very conservative, AND also who is from an non-pedigreed background and who loves to humiliate Ivy league law school graduates. I’m very serious about this. It’s time to drain not only the swamp, but the overrated academically connected as well.

THIS!

I understand Ratcliffe is pretty decent. None of the others would be any good, for various reasons.

Gowdy might be more entertaining than Sessions (if you like Kabuki theater) but would probably be even less effective.

Not Gowdy and not anyone that has future political ambitions. Ratcliffe guy sounds interesting. But not Gowdy, never got anything out of his years barking at Obama but never laid a glove in him or Hillary.

Everyone in DC from the taxi drivers to the meter maids have POLITICAL ambitions. Its a disease carried in the wind I think.

I agree, Gowdy had very limited power in his position. If he were AG it would be a lot different.

“Hated by Bush DOJ, Clinton DOJ, Obama DOJ and Hillary cronies.”

Perfect! We need someone who would induce seizures in those people.

Yes agree!
All a Congress committee can do is investigate & make a recommendation to the DOJ if they think there is criminality. The problem is we haven’t had a functioning DOJ for 10 years! It remains to be seen if we go 11 years!

The Attorney General MUST have a license to practice law.

The Committees make their recommendation to Congress. Congress makes their recommendations to the DOJ.

I love Sydney Powell. I was going to suggest her on another thread the other day and couldn’t think of her name. She’s one smart woman.

yes I know I thought it was clear that was implied. I should have been specific. Still my main point is, without a functioning DOJ it doesn’t matter.

Though its not the immediate subject of this thread I think the National Republican Party needs a strong aggressive leader like the President. Then we will have more and better choices for all offices. The President can choose to either support or not support the candidates the party runs. Winning is what it takes and good aggressive candidates will win. We don’t have that now.

One of those, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, and retiring Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, have also joined the list of those in the running, the sources say.

Why former elected officials, nobody in the private sector willing to take this on?

Where is that written? You were wrong about the other two, too.

And she should have more time on her hands since she’s no longer on Lou Dobbs after saying illegals were bringing diseases with them.

I see Romney is already acting like a dick. Not surprising. I loathe that man.

Of course he didn’t shut down the commission. However he knew the ropes as a secretary of state. In spite of that a crapfest erupted that stalled the commission and lead to its demise.

THAT DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN! WE LOST TWO YEARS OF INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS AND PROBABLY CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
