Last night, Trey Gowdy sounded like he had been lobotomized. He said that Congress is powerless and has no power of prosecution. He said the public needs to pressure the white hut and DOJ to do something because congress can’t. What?


I saw that and my mouth dropped. He said something about cutting off funding. We really are in a coup d’état.

What’s to stop them from continuing all their treachery against us? I see nothing. They can pick off/attack conservatives a few at a time.

Is he wrong? He said it's up to the DOJ to prosecute - like the contempt charge against Witholder - it would take the DOJ to prosecute. Congress can initiate a lawsuit in a Federal Court, but they do not have prosecutory powers.

What Gowdy means to say is Congress has been checkmated by a corrupt WH, DoJ and Dem Senate -- while the Vichy GOP have castrated their own.

We are simply amidst a Constitutional crisis where a completely discredited, reptilian WH and DoJ are in charge of investigating its own High Crimes. NOT HAPPENING.
