This is “responding aggressively”?! Making threats like that is not obstruction of justice, but saying “I hope you can see your way to not pursuing Flynn, he’s a good guy and didn’t do anything wrong” IS?!

"I heard McCabe’s pension is still not assured. The House Intelligence Committee memo may put in danger."

Methinks, he better take his pension and whatever other money he has and hire a good lawyer. It sounds to me like there's a good chance this could be turned over to the non swamp part of the DOJ for a Grand Jury and possible indictment or better yet another independent council for a Grand Jury and possible indictment.

If a special council is impaneled I wonder if they will be charged with going back over some of these past sham prosecutions like the IRS probe that was deep sixed. Lois Lerner, watch out!!

Yes, sometime after. I think the WH will want to review it.

Time to get someone in the House with real teeth and stop turning all the investigations over to the toy poodles who love to bark but have no desire to actually bite!!

IT’s not Issa’s or Gowdy’s fault that their investigations went nowhere. All they can do is investigate and if criminal activity is uncovered turn it over the DOJ for prosecution. The DOJ was the most corrupt federal agency at the time being headed up by either Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch. We’ve never in our history had an eight year period to compare to the obama years. Any other DOJ, regardless of party , would have allowed criminal investigations to proceed based on the House recommendations.

It’s not the Oversight Committee Chairman who has no teeth, it’s the House of Reresentatives.

The investigations proved to the American people who bothered to pay attention that crimes were committed and covered up by the obama administration. We would never even have known that had the dem’s been running the House.

Beg to differ. Congress has the ONE tool to make sure things get done: the Power of the Purse.

They just fail to utilize it to get things done.

Failure to follow through? How ‘bout a minimized budget until the job is done?

Corruption? Abuse of power? How ‘bout a budget of ZERO taxpayer $$?

Hell, they could wipe ‘em out entirely...all legal.

But, as they fail to exercise even the smallest of their powers, so too do they fail to defend and uphold the Constitution themselves (DHS, NSA, TSA, NCLB, TARP, etc.)
