Trey is all talk no action, Foghorn Leghorn personified. Wake me up when Trey actually does something.

I'm sure your fine Colorado Springs engineering education included a thorough study of the Constitution and its provision for separate and limited powers. If it did, you should know that Trey Gowdy has been "doing" all that is within his power to do -- which is investigate. Congress has the power to issue subpoenas and compel sworn testimony; Congress can rant and rail, pass laws and control spending. But only the Executive has the constitutional power to prosecute criminal charges (with the exception of impeaching the president and federal judges). Your negative opinion of Trey Gowdy was shaped in the long years that Obama controlled the Executive Department and wielded the constitutional power to "do" something.

Trump has been president not even eleven months, and Sessions has been attorney general for only ten months. President Trump nominated Rosenstein to remain as deputy attorney general for a reason known to him. President Trump interviewed Mueller on April 16, and then Rosenstein appointed Mueller special counsel the next day on April 17 - fulfilling Trump's promise to Hillary in the second debate. In the past eight months, while everyone thought Mueller and his band of Hillary lawyers were nailing Trump, all the evidence has implicated Trump's enemies, not Trump. More and worse will come to light as what has been hidden is revealed. The flak is heavy now because we are over the target.

See post 16...

You are correct.

DONALD J. TRUMP, however, has virtually unlimited, complete, absolute, total power to ORDER ANY INVESTIGATION AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON INTO ANYTHING. HE CAN HIRE AND CREATE SPECIAL COUNSELS, AND FIRE THEM ON THE SPOT, HE CAN ORDER ALL!!!!!!!!!!! OF THE STONEWALLING TO STOP, HE CAN ORDER ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF THE RECORDS TO BE REVEALED, AND YET HE DOES NOTHING.

He can fix it all, and all he gets on this forum is excuses (Oh, poor Donald, he’s handcuffed and trapped by the House, he can do nothing, it’s not his fault.)

Gowdy, can legally do nothing, and he’s attacked for not doing the job that Donald refuses to do.

I’m wiser now. Thanks for posting that.

Thanks for posting the reality of our laws as a nation and the time line realities.

I've got an even worse (land-grant) education than usafa92, which is why I defer to an expert like yourself with my question.

Given his many fine committee and televisons appearances, just what has Rep. Gowdy turned up and accomplished for conservative voters in the past 18 months?

Thanks in advance.
