Excellent analysis. Agree on the Trey Gowdy comment. If you need to feel good about life watch some of his you tube videos where he cuts into these incompetent bureaucrats in DC.
If Trey Gowdy become AG I would feel like we are the right path as a nation. Also I would be willing to serve my country any way I could if they start doing the correct things like making him top cop!!!!!!!
Also we need to re-institute the position of federal investigator of the judiciary dept.
Watching both Gowdy and Chaffetz do their thing is especially good entertainment...until...
...you come back 3 years later and notice that some crook who was thoroughly roasted and clearly belongs in prison now has an even higher position. I've seen this happen over and over again through the Bush and Obama administrations. Not necessarily with these two interrogators of course, but with others like them. It is why I say that congress is a neutered and toothless tiger and a puppet show to fool us into thinking we still have a constitutional government. I hope very much that Trump changes this (shift the balance back to congress somewhat) and somehow locks it into place.
One thing about watching these hearings is that it is unmistakable how low protein (as my Dad use to say) the people running things like the CDC, EPA, etc really are. I mean boarder line retarded. Seriously! It is amazing to see and really says a lot about our government.
I'm not sure how sustainable it is to have a federal investigator investigate anything federal. I would suggest something like a lottery where such a position is staffed from the state level. But absolutely such a position should exist. Also, we need to bring back special prosecutors to explore any significant indications of malfeasance from the prez on down.
I like that 'low protein expression'. Yeah there was a federal investigator in the judiciary dept. right up till the 1970's He only took down corrupt gov. officials at the federal level. And by 1970's they needed him to go. All the bad guys wanted him dead and all the good guys had him as their counsel. Each year he got the same phone call asking him is he would take a bribe and work for the bad guys. Same call twice a year for him entire career until he was poisoned at a baseball game with his son. The son went to get 2 hot dogs and the one his dad got exploded in his stomach and it did not kill him somehow but he was bedridden until his death 10 years later.
Yeah that group that shot their way into power in 1963 really did not like having this guy around. And that group is who Trump and assange is showing us right now despite the media's best effort to distract.
