But others, including Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, expressed fear that Muellerās appointment would impede Congressā work.
Congressā work, what a laugh. All the rethugs need is a broom and a rug and they will be happy.
Throw Senate Investigations For A Loop
Gosh ā¦
How are they ever going to get around to legislating to ā help ā the people ? ? ā¦
Graham needs to resign from Congress and focus his efforts on something he might be good at: Mixing mint juleps at the Saturday afternoon band concerts in the park.
[cue: Carolina.]
Why Trump might resignā¦BTW Who pays for Trumpās attorneys if heās the defendant?
Math:
Number of reported Senate Investigators on the Clinton Email Inquiry: 42
Number of reported Senate Investigators on the Trump*-Russia Inquiry: 7
42 - 7 = Cover up; Foot-dragging & Deliberate Resource Starvation
ā¦never on their agendaā¦but they sure are putting the screws to āthe peopleāā¦ Betsy DeVos slashings, Net Neutrality undone, David(StrangleTheDemocrats)Clarke (who brings home souvenirs from his Russia trips) taking over DHS.
Lotsa stuff gettinā doneā¦
āYouāve got a special counsel who has prosecutorial powers now, and I think we in Congress have to be very careful not to interfereā with his investigation, Graham said. āItās going to really limit what Congress can do. ā¦
IOW: We wonāt be able to rant about the leaks being the real problem. The Special Counsel will concentrate on the facts, not the hyperbole. I would assume that WH staffers will be questioned in order to validate, or not, the leaked information.
" money in the bank " ā
Really?
Thatās South Carolinaās state song?
I always just assumed it was:
@irasdad This just inā¦
āSen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) echoed that determination. āObviously weāll have to go to court to enforce it,ā he said.ā
This strikes me as a very odd statement from a Senator. Why would they have to go to court to enforce their subpoena? The Senate has unilateral power to declare Contempt of Congress, do they not? Is there a constitutional lawyer here that can weigh in on this?
But others, including Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC), who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, expressed fear that Muellerās appointment would impede Congressā work.
Will it impede Congressā work more than not assigning any full time staffers to the senate and house investigations? I seem to remember reading that there were several full time staffers dedicated to investigations of Clinton, so it isnāt like they donāt have the manpower.
Yeah, I dropped into comments to say āwell goarsh, Sen. Burr, might help you sort all this stuff out if you brought on more than seven part time investigators.ā
We do, of course!
I realize every story we read isnāt true but yesterday there was a report that Richard Burr had received over 6 million dollars in campaign donations from Russian backed sources. If this is true it would make him ineligible to head up the Senate investigation of Trump/Russia collusion and connections. Iāll be looking for more on this development.
