Does anyone -- for a second -- think that if the situation was reversed -- that is, if a Democrat Socialist House committee was investigating a Republican cabinet official for illegal behavior this would stop them cold? Hah!
I always had the impression that South Carolinians were fighters and didn’t put up with much. But they do have two sissified swishies in the Senate.
Congress, I meant.
"More limited jurisdiction ??? lack the authority under House rules ??? WHO CONTROLS THE HOUSE RULES Gowdy and the House Republican leaders are sooooo spineless!
The claimed impotence of Congress is astounding. Why the hell are they even wasting the time holding these hearings if they can’t do anything as they profess.
I agree, He won’t do a damned thing except contribute to her campaign, which he just did.
Trey Gowdy - Best Performance on Kabuki Opera of the year.
Gowdy and the House Republican leaders are sooooo spineless!
Do not confuse spineless with being CORRUPT, Trust me, every member of CONGRESS knows about their true authority, so CORRUPT IT IS>
As long as Bohner, McCain, Graham,and the other professional politicians are in charge this is what your going to get. They feel that they have an obligation to look out for their good friends the democrats rather than the people who elected them.
When it takes the cover of the entire body of the House of Representatives to retrieve a single private server with public content, and to investigate the destruction of those public documents, it of course sets up the legislative branch against the executive branch, and therefore it demands a Special Prosecutor.
Our government is corrupt with cover up.
Trey Gowdy: “ Do you realize, Ms Clinton that....ah dee dee dee dee dee...”
Issa: “ We have the power, MS Lerner to ....ah dee dee dee dee dee....”
Grassley: “ I doubt your SINCERITY, MR.....ah dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee....
Issa: “ You leave us no recourse, Mr....ah do do do do do do do....
Let’s get off the keyboard, get his number and call Gowdy. Burn up the phone lines.
Go for it, MM
As a South Carolinian I am extremely disappointed that Trey Gowdy has joined the Congressional Kabuki Troupe. Not even one single compelled appearance by Hillary, nothing.
Ted Cruz is our only hope, now.
The above statement is not factually correct.
More about this....
But in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, Gowdy is now saying his committee doesn’t have the ability to subpoena the server.
“For my committee, which has a more limited jurisdiction, we, No. 1, lack the authority under House rules to subpoena the server,” Gowdy said, “The House as an entity, it’s an open legal question, but most experts believe that the House could subpoena that server.”
Stephen Klein, an attorney with the Pillar of Law Institute, tells Breitbart News that the House itself has very broad subpoena power, even into the private lives of citizens.
“Since there is overwhelming evidence Clinton used her private server for official business as Secretary of State, this would not be a novel or invasive subpoena in any event. I don’t believe there is any reason Speaker Boehner could not issue such a subpoena,” Klein said.
Breitbart News asked House Speaker John Boehner if he plans to subpoena Clinton’s private email server on behalf of Gowdy and the Benghazi committee, but his office has not returned the inquiry.
Calls to Gowdy’s office for comment were also not returned.
Gowdy’s saying it’s up to Bonehead, legal expert says there’s no reason for him not to subpoena the dang server.
How many have made a phone call to Cloudy Gowdy’s - or Bonehead’s office about this? FWIW...at least let them hear from us.
They are bribed or controlled by the Marxists.....the NWO.....their children and families are threatened-—or just outright killed like Brietbart. Same with all the mouthpieces on Fox News-—and same with Rush Limbaugh.....and the Catholic Church-—all are being controlled (infiltrated and bribed).
Our Constitution and “Justice” System was destroyed with Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr-—and our children have been conditioned and made into dependent ignorant “happy slaves” as John Dewey’s system of brainwashing was designed to do.
The people who take back America will have to risk death-—and their family will be targeted. There are not too many people willing to allow their children to be killed or tortured.
You can’t blame them really. The evil NWO elite sodomites have control of trillions and can bribe most anyone to do their dirty work. They put in their system where every word/conversation is known-—they know who are conspiring against them and they will kill them—Trey/Hannity/everyone knows that.
The Marxists are extremely evil and Satanic (sodomites) (just like the godless Russian army and Nazis) and they will torture and abuse little children and women-—they are devoid of all morality.
They all have skeletons.
YES IT IS, Read the references
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.
I don’t know that he, Gowdy, was trained by Issa but things look like they both are like ‘peas in a pod’. I was hoping this would not turn out to be a ‘get along tango’, or a ‘pee for you’ song and dance.
