That is why I refer to it as the Establishment... it is the GOPe and DNC alike.

They colluded to crush the Tea Party... they have emails from McCain to DNC operatives requesting such.

The establishment has become fabulously wealthy in the backs of the citizens... They will stop at nothing to keep the gravy train rolling....

Those who have not he nerve to get in their way will be crushed.

That simple.

For several years, Gowdy has been all talk and no results. Democrats make up allegations against Republicans and launch major investigations, indicting innocent people along the way. Democrats engage in blatant criminal activity, and Republicans can’t even mount a serious inquiry. It’s obvious who runs Washington.

I know folks eschew the Republican party even though it is the only way forward for a conservative agenda....... but three votes do not a party make.

To insist other wise is just foolish sour grapes

The lawmakers also stress in the letter that the probe into Clinton’s use of emails was too lenient and cleared her of any wrongdoing without sufficient inquiry into the controversy. The letter urges Congress to continue the investigation, saying that “while Congress does not have the power to appoint a special counsel, Congress does have the power to continue to investigate,” and notes that “the facts uncovered thus far” merit the continuation of the probe.

Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and Robert Goodlatte were ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS ISSUE. They're the ones complaining about Republicans caving.

Mmmmmm, not so sure about that.

It was the FOIA lawsuits by Judicial Watch that brought most of the Clinton and Obama wrong doing to light. Those wimps “uncovered” little if anything, they just took credit.

“I know folks eschew the Republican party even though it is the only way forward for a conservative agenda....... but three votes do not a party make.”

Same thing happened to the wall funding. The leadership didn’t get behind it and drive it. Instead they convinced Trump of their wisdom of delaying the wall funding vote until after the election. Then what happened? A show vote in the house and nothing in the Senate.

The leadership and donor base is not aligned with a conservative agenda. The voter base does not provide enough money to the party to replace the billionaire and millionaire donors who fund the party and most campaigns. Hence the politicians support the donors first and give lip service to the voter base which currently has only two other options — vote Democrat or don’t vote. Either conservative are chose the second option (don’t vote) in 2018 or they are declining in number.

You have correctly recited the Free Republic dogmatic delusion.

The House leadership passed the bill in several different formats over the two years.

The Senate leadership disd not waste legislative time on a bill that could not pass. Finally, the bill eas brought to a vote and failed because the Repbblican Senate lacked the necessary votes.

You can whine and bitch aand moan about the leadershio but you are wrong.

The Democrats have long criticized the Republican-led probe as a distraction from Mueller’s Russia investigation....

WHAT THE HELL?

“Finally, the bill eas brought to a vote and failed because the Repbblican Senate lacked the necessary votes.”

The Republican Senate could have changed Senate rules to eliminate the filibuster. They chose not to do so.

The vote on the wall could have been held immediately prior to the 2018 election forcing Democrat Congressmen and Senators into a recorded vote against border security, immediately before facing the voters. The GOP leadership chose not to do so. The vote was deliberately scheduled after the election when there would be no negative political consequences for the Democrats in opposing the wall.

The Senate “did not waste legislative time on a bill that could not pass”. One could also argue that sometimes you schedule a vote that will not pass in order to make a point to the nation and force the opposition to make a vote it doesn’t want to make.

So tell me, if the Senate did not waste legislative time on border security, what did they accomplish for conservative voters in the time they saved? No. Reduce the deficit? Eliminate wasteful programs? No. Eliminate funding of Democrat activist groups such as Planned Parenthood? No. Support the House in uncovering the malfeasance of the FBI and DOJ with respect to the allege Russian interference with the 2016 elections? No - GOP Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was much more interested in preserving bipartisanship and allowed the minority chair Mark Warner block meaningful inquiry into Democrat malfeasance during the election.

Winners fight, losers “don’t waste time”.

Looks like the ball is in AG Whitaker’s court. Will he do something or be another Sessions? When the top dogs at the DOJ and the FBI are crooked we need Whitaker to appoint a Special Counsel, since they would not be able to investigate themselves.

If one reads the letter, Gowdy and Goodlatte send it to McConnell, Whitaker and Horowitz not the DOJ.

Um, we lost the majority so it’s not like they DECIDED to end the investigation, circumstances ended it.

Yep, the GOP House is out of time before the real crooks take over in a couple weeks

Whitaker’s all we have at this point, possibly Judicial Watch.

Investigators were getting too close to the rotten dems.

But We Will BE Back, bigger and stronger than ever.

I’m happy they are ending the witch hunt.
And give Herr Mueller a big, juicy poisoned apple on the way out.
