I can’t help but think that many of these “retirements” etc are people getting out before their closet skeletons are exposed.

It’s a swamp for sure.

Did any of Issa's show trials result in anything?

I figured Nunes and Gowdy were carrying the torch now for a reason.

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

They are all-- Gowdy, Issa, and I suspect Nunes-- part of the swamp. Their function is to make it seem like something is happening, or really about to happen. They are incensed! Outraged! Really pissed! All smoke and mirrors.

Sundance at Conservative Treehouse has pointed out just how Gowdy's income has skyrocketed in the past few years.

Latest example of how he talks out of both sides of his mouth: his panties are all in a wad about Comey!!!...and and Huma!!!...and and...Clinton Foundation!!!...and and --But: "I think that Mueller is doing a good job."

Say whaaaaa?

You don't know that.

I’m surprised Issa has lasted this long. He is the wealthiest member by far, self made, and thevlimitations on Congressxand the cat herding required must be intolerable. An example of Gresham’s Law when the Issas bail and the Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lees remain.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
