They need to just make up realistic, best guess stuff and accidentally leak it. Watch those who run for the border, those who lawyer up and wait for the real documents to mysteriously turn up to defend those charged. Good frame, bait and switch.

Problem is, If Congress did receive the documents requested and found impropriety, they would have to send a referral to prosecute to the DOJ and the DOJ will tell Congress to hump a stump. They are not going to investigate and prosecute themselves.... Congress is a paper tiger and have no prosecutorial powers of their own.


Exactly right. That's why Congressmen keep saying that a Special Counsel is needed. In addition, many of the alleged law-breakers are now civilians. Only a Special Counsel or other outside Prosecutor can investigate them.




Oh yeah, they are bailing on your $$.

Retirement.

The escape route.

I say start shooting some of them and you won't shut the rest of them up.

IMO, "conspiracy" is being used too liberally these days...as is "constitutional crisis". Our Illinois Senator Dick Durbin says every chance he gets that "Trump is creating a constitutional crisis with his conspiracy theories!".





Durbin is as crooked as the day is long.

He's from IL and been eating GMO corn too long, made him stupid.

Yeah, I'm from Findlay and Collinsville.

I got out.

Also, as indicated in Wikileak 2016 DNC/Podesta documents several MSM outlets were complicit in the cover-up to protect Hillary. CNN still is in full cover-up mode. Not a word on their Website about the impending Congressional subpoena of the FBI documents related to its Hillary investigation. CNN is one of the rats.

The United States CONGRESS created the Department of Justice in 1870. Therefore, Congress is above the D.O.J.. When Congress asks for something from the Department of Justice, or one of its agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the FBI should NOT be able to tell Congress, "NO!".



As I understand government, the FBI and DOJ are part of the Executive Branch and as such answer to the President, not Congress.

That being said, Congress are the elected representatives of the people and I believe any organization that receives taxpayer funding is answerable to the people. Plus, Congress controls the purse strings. They can just as easily say, "Answer up, or you don't get a budget next time around." What Congress creates, they can destroy.

Additionally, if Congress can convince them, the Judicial branch can compel the FBI or DOJ to release information. Checks and balances.

The real question here is, are the three branches at odds? Remember when Obama promised to close Gitmo? Congress gave him a way to back out of that promise by saying they wouldn't supply the money. Of course, the Commander in Chief can shut down any military base, money or no. It was just theater. One side champions the wishes of the people, and that darned other side opposes it. Unfortunately, the side fighting for what the people want always seem to be in the minority at the time. When they are in the majority, the issue never seems to come up.

You can bet that if the FBI or the DOJ are giving Congress the finger, both parties are fine with it.

What would ATS think about a law which allows Capital Police recovery of any documents pertaining to Congressional inquiry of Federally-related departments?

I.e., why can't they go grab a gun and just walk in and take them?

Who oversees that department?

Yes. Congress created the DOJ and also expanded its authority over time.

By 1870, after the end of the Civil War, the increase in the amount of litigation involving the United States had required the very expensive retention of a large number of private attorneys to handle the workload. A concerned Congress passed the Act to Establish the Department of Justice (ch. 150, 16 Stat. 162), creating "an executive department of the government of the United States" with the Attorney General as its head.
More at: www.justice.gov...

Is issuing a SUBPOENA to get the documents, the same thing as bringing in the Judiciary branch to force their release?

I bet if the Investigative Committee received all 1.2 million documents tomorrow, it would be many months before they are digested.

This is just armchair Perry Masoning on my part, but my guess is that refusing to comply would just be a stall tactic on the part of the FBI or DOJ. If Congress really wanted to press the issue, the Judiciary would eventually rule that the Executive branch must comply.

In the meantime, documents get lost or destroyed, people forget, a new crisis arises, nobody goes to jail, and it's business as usual.

There are a few MSM personalities who deserve to be in GITMO with them. They can fight for exclusive interviews, lol.

The documents requested by the Congressional committee have been with the Office of Inspector General for quite a few months. The OIG has been investigating this entire scandal for 14 months.

Rather than 3 investigative bodies duplicating each other's work, a single Special Prosecutor with broad authority should be running the show.

Our government is a ####ing train wreck.

Openly corrupt.





It is corrupt at all levels, the states, the counties, the small towns, the cops .. Its unfixable and I think we might actually see martial law before I die..


The Japanese and the Russians were afraid to invade mainland America for fear of all the guns. Besides that, do you think large scale martial law will actually work when you're asking these people to put the boot to their neighbors neck?

Whats up with the insults? It seems you are not interested in a serious discussion.

Trump does not "own" any branch of government.

Did he own strzok, Page, MCCabe, Comey, Rosenstein, or the other litany of people within the intel community that have opposed him?

Many of us have been saying for years how corupt these establishment unelected leaders of the intel community are corrupt. Trump gets in despite those peoples best efforts, and they still remain, yet people like you claim Trump now owns them therefore they must be working for trump and everything they do is his fault.
