Didn't Nunes draw up articles of impeachment a month ago or was that just another idle threat like this one?

That was a resolution to make a threat of a threat

Correct, they know politicians don't have the balls to follow thru on demands and they can openly subvert oversite because they lack spine. The DOJ/FBI are daring congress to try them and the senate cucks won't back up the house.

quote:

The Committee's government-wide oversight jurisdiction and expanded legislative authority make it one of the most influential and powerful committees in the House. The Committee serves as Congress' chief investigative and oversight committee, and is granted broad jurisdiction. The chairman of the committee is one of only three committee chairmen in the House with the authority to issue subpoenas without a committee vote or consultation with the ranking member.[4] However, in recent history, it has become practice to refrain from unilateral subpoenas.[5]


Anyone defending the position of the DOJ/FBI to refuse documents are openly allowing the DOJ/FBI to operate free of oversite. Just remember.....this knife cuts both ways.

A Contempt charge would give Trump the cover he needs to fire this bastard. Or articles of impeachment and believe me, there are a lot of members of both houses that will not be sorry to see RR go.

If you can't see there is a concerted effort to divide this country, because the DULY elected President has shaken up the established nature of things, you're either disingenuous or oblivious.

This is a highly suspect statement. Unverified opposition materials are the basis of this investigation....many believe it's unconstitutional.

Pure grandstanding and nothing but a ploy to raise money for the Republican Party, and I've never voted for a Democrat in my life.

Impeachment is warranted but it doesn't help politically. Getting all the documents released, unredacted, is what will help politically - it's also a clear oversight issue. That's why I'm pissed off at Trump for not having the docs released.

We shouldn't tolerate a lack of transparency and evasion of oversight at all, not for a minute, regardless of the party in power.

Disagree, if you are hiding things from oversite they have every right to demand action. These 3 letter agencies don't control congress nor does the DOJ.



I agree with the premise of getting rid of him. I'm talking about the political realities of doing so. Only the blind can't see this.

That's what the media wants you to think. That this could be used for an obstruction charge. TRUMP CAN FIRE WHOEVER THE frick HE WANTS and no one can do a god damn thing about it. You know what looks bad politically??? Being investigated for over a year and not one charge or implication has been levied against Trump. So they need to give the oversite committee the documents so we can see how the sham started and we can get rid of the special council that was levied on flimsy premises. Should we just sit around why they levy more charges against foreign countries/companies that have frick all to do with Trump? Nah, HAMMER THESE FOOLS. frick the black eye. I want the documents.

No, it's a political reality. I'm not arguing legalities, etc. I'm telling you that you're putting ammunition in the magazine. I know you true believers can be blind sometimes, but goddamn, man.

Conservative sources say they could file the impeachment document as soon as Monday

Why in Hell would they do that?
There is no chance whatsoever of the Senate removing him.

Perhaps the hope is impeachment might give Trump cover to fire the SOB. Trump won't do that though. There is greater likelihood of him pardoning Cohen, Manifort, and Flynn at once. Rosenstein would be left in a stronger position than he is now.

In reality, Trump needs to fire Sessions, not Rosenstein. The incoming AG would takeover responsibiliy for the DOJ. Rosenstein would slip back to obscurity.

They can't do shite about it. He could fire Rosenstein tomorrow. NO one can do a frickign thing about it. They can scream muh obstruction to the rooftops and it doesn't' fricking matter.

Rosenstein is giving them ammo to be fired and he knows it. He also went out and threatened members of congress. Good luck with an obstruction charge. He's a smug bitch. He's an unelected DOJ official. frick him.

I don't know why we're going in circles here. I said I'm not talking about legalities. I'm talking about optics. Christ almighty.
