I just went back and reviewed it (1996 campaign finance scandal - Charlie Trie, Johnny Chung, John Huang, Maria Hsai, Riady family, Lippo Group et al. It was bad. Krauthammer said it was willfully impeded. Bob Woodward, Justice Dept all calling it a big scandal. But John Glenn stood toe-to-toe with Chairman Fred Thompson and the GOPe blinked and media tamped it down.

Dan Burton chaired the House investigation, and the media basically turned him into more of a crackpot than he was.

I like Trey Gowdy but he has a Herculean task ahead of him.

You didn’t hear??? Trey Gowdy is having Jack Bauer “prep” all the witnesses before he starts asking questions.

I would like Pelosi to pick Maxine Waters for the comittee along with the Dem that was afraid setting up a US military base on one of the Pacific islands might cause the island to tip over~He would probably say if we had sent troops to rescue our people in Benghazi it might have caused a sinkhole!
