Foxnews interview of Congressman
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
I will wait a bit till more information comes out before I get happy about this.
Ditto on the holding off the champagne. ..
How can congress order FBI to do anything ?
Congress cannot order the FBI to do anything.
Congress cannot order the FBI to do anything.
Sessions will sabotage all efforts...
Fake news.
Congress does NOT have power to ‘order’ FBI to do anything. They can suggest/ask but that’s it.
“ORDERS”??? A Republican Congress “orders” something??
“Got Woke?”
Doesn’t the FBI already have people that can produce a definitive report on this in the next four minutes?

president Trump can order or see to it that the Atty General has the FBI investigate (or be replaced, of course), but Congress can only request... or threaten DOJ.FBI funding yes Congress can do that....but that’s not a direct order
i think direct orders would have to come thru the normal (executive branch, not legislative) chain of command, correct me if I am wrong? thanks
congress could pass a law but it would have to be singed and then implemented by the exec?
This same headline has played for weeks. Does it mean anything?
Congressional investigative committees can make referrals to the DOJ and FBI for criminal investigations
This is a matter for the executive not legislative
the leg branch can always, thru its oversight power, launch its own investigation of course
but this is an exec branch matter, imho.
the lack of any meaningful investigations (SorozNazi, Obammy, HillLIARy, Pelousy, DWSchultx, etc) ....AND the continued Mueller farce .... are both up to the executive branch to correct
as Harry Truman used to say, “The Buck Stops Here!”
but I guess that’s too old-fashioned nowadays/
The good news is these people are starting to show some spine.
First of all, “Breaking news” is kind of on the order of “breaking wind”.
Is the FBI somehow at the behest of Congress? Starting today? I thought the FBI was part of the executive branch.
Seriously, do I recall an instance where the FBI starts an investigation on “Congressional orders”?
No, I don’t.
I’m not getting excited about this, either.
For one thing, I no longer trust the FBI. Mueller, Comey, McCabe? All FBI guys. Need I say more?
I woundn’t even jump up and down at the appointment of another independent prosecutor with the same broad powers Mueller has. The swamp is very deep and murky. The alibis will be flowing freely. The fix will be in.
The rule of law means nothing anymore.
