I hear a lot of cynics here on Free Republic and to me this as is bad as posting all the time that Trump is going to lose.
I too am cynical of Congress doing something and showing backbone, but we’ve got to be there pushing, goading them on at all times. It’s not enough just to bitch about it on Free Republic.
In any case, I posted this NOT to say I think Congress would do/not do anything, but to counter what the democrats and press are saying about Comey violating policy, when, on the other hand, Congress specifically told him to inform them of new developments.
Comey is no hero of mine, nor is Martha Roby, but the democrats don’t have a useful leg to stand on in this.
Your post is valid but...
The Democratic position is that the Republican Congress should not have any authority over Executive Branch officials when a Democrat is President but should have authority over Executive Branch officials when there is a Democratic Congress and a Republican President (as in Watergate).
Just wanted to clear that up.,. :-)
Thanks for posting/commenting. Interesting thread BUMP!
