There will be resources thrown at this endeavour that the Russia investigation could only dream of having at its disposal. I'd say let's wait until 2018 until true justice will be done, but these days I have a difficult time trusting that the elections will be fair.

If the dems had been even a little ruthless the past 35+ years, we might not be in this clusterfuck. The GOP controls the majority of state governments. If the 2020 census results in the same type of redistricting that 2010 did, the dems won't see control of the House for another decade.

Sad but true. These dumb fucks are so stupid and/or greedy, there won't be anything left in 13 years.

We're going to have to organize and mobilize like never before for the next couple of elections.

7. 'amending and replacing a Democratic resolution that was designed
Wed Jul 26, 2017, 10:46 PM
Jul 2017

to obtain documents about Comey’s firing by President Trump. . .

The amendment was a surprise to Rep. Primala Jayapal (D-Wash.), the freshman who had proposed the Democratic resolution of inquiry, which had been expected to fail. In a heated markup, Jayapal and other committee Democrats expressed amazement that Republicans wanted to resurrect questions about the defeated Clinton campaign.

“There appears to be deliberate stonewalling to stop any inquiry into the questions facing us today,” she said. “You want to have another beating of the dead horse of Hillary Clinton and her emails? Fine, I’ll include it. But let’s have another opportunity to debate.”'

Stop worrying about every stupid, piddly, crap that comes out of these committees. It won't be going anywhere soon. It's just a distraction designed to make you lose focus on what is really important.

Oh and by the way? How many women who did not vote in 2016 (for whatever reason) will you motivate to vote your asses out of office in 2018? A lot more than you think!

Brilliant strategy. NOT!

Some Republican Senators have been pushing back on Trump's desire to 'investigate' Hillary. Some note the Benghazi committee investigation found nothing so it's ridiculous to repeat that. Others note that it is wrong to investigate political rivals (banana republic)

"...at the Republican push."

Sadly, that quote could serve multiple times as a headline until the midterm elections. If these troglodytes and hucksters aren't voted out, and voted out with a vengeance, the United States as a democracy is kaput, finished, history.
