Apologies for re-posting, but Jack hit on an incredible discovery that even HE did not highlight in his piece:
"Of the entire committee staff of ninety, only two junior members are registered Republican."
This is massive, and I certainly didn't know this. How many Freepers did? That Republican Congressional Committees are all run by Democrats???
Never mind the fact that this committee---I'm guessing about 16-18 people---has NINETY staffers? So now you know why the "right" questions don't get asked. The Congressmen tell their staffers, "I have a hearing with Comey on Tuesday. Prepare a list of the questions I'll be asking." Naturally, the Dem staffers ask about Russia.
Even bigger: Why are we JUST NOW seeing this information from a low-level reporter in an obscure journal in a throwaway line? Where is the so-called conservative press on this? They didnt know? They knew and kept quiet? None of our Congressmen bothered to tell us??
Which begs even more questions- how many of these homo staffers were/are engaged with pizzagate and playing pedophile code games on their congressional PCs?
How many of our so called conservative media and congressman are also caught up in this? Maybe that's why Chaffetz is making a hasty departure.
I would say that that is indicative of the number of hold-overs from previous administrations and Libs/Leftists infiltrating/imbedding themselves in the Republicans’ offices.
It is rather suggestive that almost none of this came to light until President Trump began claiming that Team Obama had ‘wiretapped’ him.
True, but Rome wasn't built in a day. 97 here, 97 there, pretty soon, you're talking big numbers.
That is why careers in government should be nearly impossible. Term limit everyone, with a lifetime limit for years in government "service". Make it a temporary position in which they truly SERVE. Don't allow them to RULE!
Given the way the left and the drive-by media (am I being redundant here?) are going after Trump and company, I would venture to say that a lot of the "blackmail" is nothing but fake news.
Quote from article... wow... Just WOW!!!
“The staffers claim their walkout is not necessarily in solidarity with Chaffetz, but more a pre-emptive move because they strongly suspect Trey Gowdy will make changes, or fire a lot of senior staff. The top staffers of the committee are David Rapallo and Susanne Sachsman, both Democrats, who each are paid $172,000 in salary. Of the entire committee staff of ninety, only two junior members are registered Republican: Alexander Miehls, and Michael Ding.”
I think its more likely many of these are just Chávetz’s sycophants & “hangers on” from Utah. More cronyism on display then anything else. Gowdy simply has no use for them so a new “broom sweeps clean”. Besides Gowdy being a politician probably has his “own crowd” that wants jobs!
Fire them ALL, well except for 2 of them.

David P Rapallo
Democratic Staff Director, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
David P Rapallo, a current staffer, earned an estimated salary of $172,500 USD as a Democratic Staff Director through the most recent House pay period. This was 2 times greater than the median for a House committee staff.
Rapallo has been employed in Congress since at least Q3 ‘09 (employment information is not available prior to ‘Q3 2009 for House staffers and ‘Q3 2011 for Senate staffers, so Rapallo’s actual start date may be earlier), and has also been a staffer for House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Note: Staffer earnings - and by extension office medians - may appear lower than expected if a staffer began or left work in the middle of a fiscal period or has worked less than a full year. A staffer is designated as current if they are listed as working in the most recent House pay period to be published (Jan. 1, 2016 - Mar. 31, 2016).
Susanne E Sachsman
Democratic Deputy Staff Director Chief Counsel, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform

Please note the last statement... also been a staffer for Committee on Benghazi.
The IT guys in the House criminal probe could read these members’ emails The Awans and their associates collected $5 million from congressional offices.

Yeah, I agree they should send their offices back to local districts. Knock those salaries down to local rates. Bachelors degree, multitasking, write reports, $11/hr. Let them find out the real cost of the cheap labor express.
Marcia Fudge was named interim acting director of the DNC, if you recall, until Perez/Ellison were installed.
And they wonder why there are leaks!!!

Is This How IRS Cover-up Works?

As an example, Issa mentioned the case of Susanne, a lawyer whom he said had worked for Democrats on the House Oversight Committee until 2008. His reference is to Susanne Sachsman Grooms, who NROs Eliana Johnson has reported joined the IRS in the year President Obama was elected. She served the IRS as an adviser to the deputy commissioner for services and enforcement and then as a senior counselor to the chief of criminal investigations. As Johnson has reported: At the time, the deputy commissioner for services and enforcement her boss was none other than Steven Miller, who held the post of IRS commissioner from November 2012 until his resignation in May after the IRS scandal broke. Grooms herself left the IRS in 2011 to rejoin House Oversight as its chief Democratic counsel. There she advises ranking Democrat Elijah Cummings on how to handle the IRS scandal, which involves the people she used to work with at the IRS. Thats called a conflict of interest, with bells on it.
Susanne Sachsman was an attorney prosecuting cases for the IRS prior to being the attorney for the House Oversight Committee investigation of the IRS. No wonder the Lois Lerner investigaten went nowhere!!!
