Hmmm..was just reading your post up thread. Now I am really confused. You may be right. I wonder if a call to Trey Gowdy’s office could tell us? If anyone knows...it would probably be him.

Congress can subpoena records and testimony though, I think. Isn’t that what was done on Fast & Furious and on Benghazi? I think the only way they could actually get the records when the regime refuses to cooperate, though, is to impeach and convict the people who refuse so that executive privilege cannot be cited. But that would require an honest Senate, and God knows we don’t have that.

If I’m understanding correctly, what the members of Congress need are individuals who voluntarily choose to get the information and bring the evidence to Congress. Exactly like we’ve had to do with the eligibility issue. Once there is enough evidence they could vote to impeach and only THEN would they have the ability to legally compel records and testimony from the state or federal government entities. IOW, there has to be enough evidence above and beyond what the lawless regime is able to obfuscate on in order to justify impeachment, and only then can the official records be compelled.

Exactly like we’ve done with the eligibility issue. In order to get a federal investigation that can compel records production, we have to impeach somebody at the federal level.

Somebody please show me if I’m misunderstanding this.
