Barry must have a fall guy list already at hand because all he did today was make it worse.

How is a joint select committee formed and what authority or power does it have? All along I’ve been thinking that Congress could appoint a special federal investigator/prosecutor but since 1999 they can’t; it has to be the AG who does it. So what power does Congress actually have, to investigate a corrupt executive branch including the AG?

This is the most critical question our country faces. If there is no way to hold the executive branch accountable to the law once the POTUS appoints all the foxes to guard the henhouses, then the country is sunk.

Would a select committee be able to compel the deposition of military people that Pickering’s DOD put a gag order on? Could they subpoena and get search warrants?
