RANT ALERT! Please, GOP Congress critters, let's just drop the pretense, ok?

Bannon appears before your "committee", stays for 9 and a half hours, answers ZERO questions, invokes no known privilege, but simply says he won't answer because the White House doesn't want him to!

Is he in custody? No.
Is he charged with contempt of Congress? No.
Did he walk past the press to his waiting black Escalade with a big shit-eating grin on his face? You damn betcha!

So, unplug the mikes, turn out the lights and quit pretending that you are conducting a serious investigation. Go back to your street corners and resume your full time occupations: all together now----"Ps-s-s-t! Hey, sailor---want a date?"

and Grassely in charge of the Senate Judic. Comm. it is all a waste of time and money. The only possible one left that may have any chance of bi partisanship is the Senate Intel. Comm. and Mueller of course. This is why most of the Dems in both chambers have been calling for an Independ. Commission like there was for 9/11. The GOP will not go for it though and is resisting the bills that the Dems introduced for over 6 months. An Indep. Comm would be fully funded and staffed, fairly quick, transparent and the results would be open to the public, and the most important part...NON PARTISAN! The GOP can't derail it.

a very serious matter? Another thing that has become a joke. Hopefully, Mueller will wipe that shit eating grin off his face.
