If we have all of these complex rules about unmasking, but someone can just proxy ask, we have a massive problem.

She's trying to obfuscate between her staff carte blanche access to unmasking and how many - in her head - she directly asked for. And she needs to be cross-examined on that very specific point by a competent prosecutor.

Let her rise to her own indefense by permitting her to point out exactly how many she made - then she introduces the line of questioning. Who, what for, public figure or not, how many times...and whether or not any of her answers agree with the evidence.

Reserve the rest of the staff illegal access and spread it around her staffers under oath. More than one will crack. Just in time for mid-terms...

Two huge disappointments: Trey Gowdy and Jeff Sessions.

All Hat and No Cattle Gowdy has never gotten to the bottom of anything.

But today, according to Rep. Trey Gowdy, Power The Swamp denied making anything close to that number of unmasking requests.

Fixed it

Trey did his job AS ENUMERATED UNDER OUR CONSTITUTION . He isn’t a prosecutor, he isn’t a Judge, he isn’t a jury, he isn’t an executioner; he is a Congressman.

Like Jarhead said, Gowdy is a congressman. As enumerated under the Constitution, all he can do is recommend. He could've handed a slam-dunk case to Comey and whatever traitor was AG, but do you really think they would have done anything? Gowdy couldn't prosecute. I do think if we had Gowdy as AG, people would start getting arrested left and right. But then, who would start making recommendations to Gowdy?

We all know what Cummings thought; that it was all just a witch hunt, with nothing 'there'. Yet if it was a republican, he would've put on his stupid angry face and screamed for a prosecution, when that isn't the job of congress.

Again, Gowdy can't prosecute. That's up to different people.

Gowdy’s investigation of Benghazi was a whitewash.

Wherher she unmasked 26 or 260 makes no difference, this is a fracking crime. sheesh. What the heck are we discussing here?

Ha, BINGO. At usual, most are debating from the Leftist stance/talking-points instead of the root of the issue.

Why else can’t the (R) articulate themselves out of a wet paper bag. Heaven forbid if they got into a discussion/debate w/ a Leftist...

Trey means well, but he’s a tool of the GOPe to make it feel like the injustices are being addressed.

I’m sorry but you are mistaken. He got in front of cameras every day to let the American people know what crimes were committed and what stonewalling was being done. He did everything in his power to make public what the rest of the swamp refused to bring forth. So much so that a JR. Prosecutor from college would have won this case. It isn’t his job to ensure injustices are addressed that is the job of the DOJ.

I’ll ask again, why have you not fired off a letter to the WH asking our President why his DOJ has not yet brought charges? I’m quite certain you were beside yourself as was I when the last admin refused to prosecute.
