I agree. I’ve not seen Gowdy have any bite. He barks really well. He says the things we like to hear. But what has he accomplished?

CONGRESS has their very own JAIL, A warrant issued by the Speaker will be executed by the Capitol Police, it is Valid ANYWHERE in the US.

Probably because he may have to ask her questions that could be deemed classified and referring to national security.

As a former Marine mom, I’m glad her treacherous mouth will be closed to the public and not be spewing demoralizing garbage that will dishearten our warriors.

[ Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!

Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency
Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR

No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!

CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!! ]

WRONG WRONG WRONG

The Executive Branch controls / influences a great many of the Beer-o-craptic organisations in DC.

The Executive Branch controls / influences the NSA, which gathers intel on congress critters.

The Executive Branch controls / influences the Dept of Justice which can hold the thigs the NSA gathers on congress critters over their heads.

The Executive Branch controls / influences many other organisations like the IRS, the EPA, the FBI, etc that can all be used to put pressure on elected officials.

The fact that they can’t Shut UP Ted Cruz and Mike Lee tells a whole LOT about how the rest of the congress critters have been compromised.

Why behind closed doors? Probably because they want to give her the opportunity to offer them high level positions in her government once she takes office.

The Executive branch only has influence and control over Agencies CONGRESS ALLOWS.

Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose

Congress critters in general have worried too much about feathering their own nests to worry about such trifle....

which is why we are pretty much screwed unless the states step in and take their power back.

Exactly. Remember what happened with the OJ fiasco? People performed for the cameras, not justice.

I agree, it is sad how so many in congress have forfeited their branch’s power for personal power.

I have been watching the songs and dances going on in Washington for years. At times there seemed something was happening for the Nation and then it all came to a hollow sound. I now believe that all of Issa’s hearings and bluster was just that because he was told how far he could take his committee before some stories ‘true or not’ would pop up in the press. He clammed up with a weak deceptive explanation that he and his committee had gone as far as intended. I have had the same gut feeling about Goudy and his committee. Damned be it with the people we are Washington.

Welcome to the party, there are many of us here that said this from DAY ONE with Issa, a lot of folks wanted to give him a chance, just like they did with Gowdy. NOT ME

Never Ever believe a Lawyer that worked for the Government, especially a Prosecutor. Biggest Lying, morally bankrupt, ethically corrupt bastards you will ever see are PROSECUTORS. They sell their sole daily for their 30 pieces of Silver.
