A House panel on Wednesday announced it is opening an investigation into U.S. intelligence collection that may have swept up members of Congress.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's announcement of the probe comes after a Wall Street Journal report that the U.S. collected information on private exchanges between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of Congress during ongoing negotiations for nuclear deal with Iran.

Put Trey Gowdy on it; puff up his chest, exhale some hot air and amount to nothing.

Netanyahu was a strong opponent of the Iran nuclear deal negotiated this year by the U.S. and other world powers.

Remember the story of Haman, whose plot to kill all the Jews is foiled by Queen Esther, the king's recent wife, who is herself a Jew. Haman is hanged from the gallows that had originally been built to hang Mordecai.

Obama's plot has been revealed - the mask is coming off.

Tell a Liberal your failure to hold Obama accountable for his over-reach is going to set you all up when Trump uses the IRS to attack Democratic causes, Uses the NSA to spy on Democrat Congressmen and Senators, uses his pen and phone to just make stuff happen regardless of Constitutionality... You Liberals have set yourselves up for the okie doke your boy destroyed the office of the Presidency, don’t look to me to hold my side accountable after you failed to hold yours.

you made one error- NO red meat for the masses

to Wit:

THE IRS illegally DESTROYED EMAILS AND COMPUTERS!

to protect this administration- WENT after ordinary Citizens on behalf of this administration-(tea party)

This has been documented time and again- nothing has ever been done or rectified-

Maybe because this administration has been collecting data - phone msgs - eaves dropping bugs into congress!!

Gee ya think!- the congress cannot be that dumb either they are actively working with this administration- or they have been CAUGHT doing illegal activities- so they are not going to go after this administration

"House Permanent Select Committee"?

So does that mean Trey Gowdy is gonna do some more hollering at some more people in front of the cameras or will it be someone else doing the hollering this time?

7 Years of allowing Obama to do as he pleases without ever trying to stop him has consequences.

Yep, and they're not going to let go of the reigns of power easily either. Worse, via Obama, the MB has access to the second largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. That can't make Putin too happy. Bet he has/keeps his nuclear forces on heightened alert until someone like Trump/Cruz can take over.

One wrong move and it's nuclear Armageddon.

Ho hum. There will be nothing in the way of action coming out of this.

Meanwhile back in that garbage heap called the District of Corruption, we get this little tidbit.

2015 was record year for federal regulation

Mitch should surly be proud of his accomplishments - NOT!!
