P220 Smudge, Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse has thoroughly exposed Trey Gowdy. In the video you offer, Gowdy says, "You've never heard me criticize Bob Mueller." There you have it in one sentence. Gowdy has no criticism-- can't find one thing wrong-- with a witch hunt that goes on and on, conducted by enemies of Trump seeking to impeach him. What makes Gowdy so treacherous is that he talks out of both sides of his mouth. So, you can listen to him on any number of subjects and he sounds like he sees right through all the corruption, he is aggressive, sharp-- he's our guy. Then in the next moment he says something wonderful about Robert Mueller-- "he's doing a great job, we can count on him for a fair outcome"-- shit like that.

He is part of the Deep State, having been bought out, according to Sundance.

When he says "yes" he moves his head side-to-side, instead of up-and-down. AFAIK, he's not regionalistic Hindu.

Gowdy isn't alone in backing Mueller. Many conservative talkies express the same opinion.
Hugh Hewitt whom I don't always agree with but respect for his honesty says the same thing. Mueller is a straight shooter and let him do his job.

Mueller has lapped the world twice over and has not come up with anything. The longer this goes on the better. He is looking foolish and ineffective.

Gowdy if put in a position of action and not just a position of barking about things would be horribly exposed. And that's a sad thing for a man of such talent.

Justice Department withholds majority of FBI texts

The Justice Department has given Congress less than 15 percent of the texts between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page – and that is all Congress is likely to get, at least until department experts finish an effort to recover an unknown number of previously lost texts that were sent and received during a key five-month period during the Trump-Russia investigation.

Tuesday night: State of the Union speech

https://apnews.com/1f341e950fb...h-State-of-the-Union

The theme of his Tuesday night address to Congress and the country is “Building a safe, strong and proud America,” and the president is looking to showcase accomplishments of his first year while setting the tone for the second.

Aides say the president plans to set aside his more combative tone for one of compromise, and to make an appeal beyond his base.

he will try to make the case that all groups of people have benefited during his watch

indeed they have

Five themes are expected to dominate:
the economy and the tax overhaul,
infrastructure,
immigration,
trade,
and terrorism and global threats.

"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will not be attending President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.

Instead, she will be at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, for a talk that was announced in August, the Providence Journal reported.

Ginsburg, 84, also has sent signals recently that she intends to keep her seat on the bench for years to come.

When asked how long she intends to serve, she said she will stay as long as she can go “full steam,” drawing inspiration from her model, Justice John Paul Stevens, who stepped down in 2010 at age 90..." http://www.foxnews.com/politic...plans-to-retire.html



I'm certain all will agree with me that her snoring will be missed.

After the Dems get their ass handed to them in the midterms this year, Methuselah will begin to rethink her defiance.

Right after her 16th nap of the day.

Mark my word- she's waiting to see what will happen in November. The nasty old hag should never have been appointed. Fucking hyper-biased old witch.

Yeah, the dumb broad can't even keep her eyes open during arguments in court.

Byron York: House Intel meets Monday and could vote on memo release — is Jeff Sessions softening his stance?

The House Intelligence Committee meets at 5 p.m. Monday in the Capitol. The meeting will give the committee its first opportunity to vote on the question of releasing the so-called "FISA abuse" memo

not saying they are going to vote on it, just first opportunity

The public might also learn committee Democrats' plans for a counter-memo. Ranking member Rep. Adam Schiff has accused Republicans of cherry-picking and distorting the intelligence underlying the GOP memo, and last Wednesday announced that Democrats would "draft our own memorandum, setting out the relevant facts and exposing the misleading character of the Republicans' document."

Schiff said that at Monday's meeting he will move for a committee vote to make the Democratic memorandum available to all members of the House — a mirror image of the committee's Jan. 18 vote to make the Republican memo available to the House.

It is unclear what the Republican majority's reaction will be if Democrats produce a memo and demand a vote

it appears that Attorney General Jeff Sessions — who remains recused from the Trump-Russia affair — is trying to send conciliatory signals to Congress on the oversight issue. In a speech in Norfolk, Va. on Friday, Sessions suggested the Justice Department has been too "defensive" in handling criticism.

"We don't see criticism from Congress as a bad thing," Sessions said. "We welcome Congress as a partner in this effort [to improve the Justice Department]. When they learn of a problem and start asking questions, that is a good thing. Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant. Truth produces confidence."

"A culture of defensiveness is not acceptable," Sessions concluded.

Upon hearing Sessions' speech, a number of Republicans had a reaction along the lines of: That's nice — now, how about doing something about it? It's not clear if Sessions' words will have any effect on the current impasse. After all, having recused himself from the Trump-Russia affair, the attorney general is not making the decisions.

interview of Bob Goodlatte (chair of House Judiciary Comm)

https://youtu.be/aJ-6t_wXKaw

Committee background:

On June 3, 1813, a standing committee on the Judiciary was established by the House of Representatives to consider legislation relating to judicial proceedings. Since that time, the scope of the committee’s concern has expanded to include not only civil and criminal judicial proceedings and Federal courts and judges, but also issues relating to bankruptcy, espionage, terrorism, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional amendments, immigration and naturalization, interstate compacts, claims against the United States, national penitentiaries, Presidential succession, antitrust law, revision and codification of the statutes of the United States, state and territorial boundary lines and patents, copyrights and trademarks

Particularly important in our time is the Committee’s oversight responsibility for the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.

What are the boundaries of that recusal?

Jeff Sessions' recusal:

"I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States."

I have argued earlier this was an incredibly dumb decision by Sessions because this was not an environment of "justice", but rather an attempted coup to overturn the election
