"Attorney
General Jeff Sessions was handed two important lifelines by the Senate
and House Judiciary Committee's respectively in the last two days.
"On the Senate side, Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley made
it clear that there would not be room on the calendar for consideration
of a replacement for General Sessions until 2018, a direct message to
the President that he might go a full year without an AG if he acts
against Sessions.
"On the House side, things got really interesting as the House
Judiciary Committee
majority
issued a letter to Sessions urging the appointment of a second special
counsel to investigate the actions of James Comey, Loretta Lynch, the
Clinton email scandal, as well as the unmasking of Trump campaign
officials in what appears to have been the political use of our
nation's intelligence resources.
"As a strong supporter of Attorney General Sessions, I strongly urge
him to accept the House Judiciary Committee's recommendation and
appoint a second special prosecutor to
investigate the gross malfeasance that occurred during the Obama
Administration.
America needs to know, once and for all, if our nation's intelligence
services were commandeered for political purposes and whether Hillary
Clinton's offsite housing and subsequent destruction of more than
30,000 emails constituted a criminal act.

Gowdy? Useless.
ReplyDeleteYes to all in the Gowdy letter.
ReplyDeleteSkoonj, Gowdy asks the right skewering questions, but the fact that Holder is still walking around free with an outstanding Contempt of Congress citation makes me feel all these hearings are toothless kabuki theater.

ReplyDeleteLt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick,
ReplyDeleteWhat you say is true. And, in that artful way, from a few centuries ago ...
It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
— Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)
Why a special counsel? Why can't the DOJ investigate these matters?
ReplyDeleteDunno what Gowdy has to do with this letter, it's from Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning. Just as well, as I no longer expect anything from Gowdy but more worthless blather.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I agree; another special prosecutor should be appointed. I'm waiting to be amazed and thrilled when that happens, but so far it's just the usual hot air; Skoonj has already pointed to the definitive source there.
We have far too many idiots telling tales, and far too few indictments.
