All Trey Gowdy can do is get the TESTIMONY from these people.
It is up to the public and the DOJ to do something about it.
The DOJ will do nothing but I heard the FBI is doing it’s hardest to fight the DOJ.
There is a major problem with not having the DOJ being held accountable by a publicly elected Judicial branch. The balance of power with the DO (in)J under the executive branch makes it very UNbalanced.
““It’s definitely a criminal probe,” said the source. “I’m not sure why they’re not calling it a criminal probe.”
“The DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI can conduct civil investigations in very limited circumstances,” but that’s not what this is, the source stressed. “In this case, a security violation would lead to criminal charges. Maybe DOJ is trying to protect her campaign.””

Duh, MAYBE???
Please don’t make excuses for the quisling pos Gowdy. ALL he Can do is COVER UP THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES of the LEADERSHIP OF BOTH PARTIES.
He has the ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO IMPRISON EVERY WITNESS HIMSELF!
no person shall be compelled in any criminal case “to be a witness against himself.”
Testifying Before CONGRESS is NOT A CRIMINAL CASE!!

and of course this is what the Radical Left thinks:

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!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.
