Nobody believes that Nunes, Gowdy, McCrory, and their comrades-in-obstruction are saying and doing these things because they believe deep in their hearts that the truth will vindicate Trump - to the contrary, their every utterance betrays their apparent certainty that he's guilty as the day is long, else the FBI's inquiry would be welcomed, not targeted.

Exactly right, sir, and although I hate to sound like a broken record on the blog, remember also that Chris Collins, Trey Gowdy, and Devin Nunes all have something else in common: Every one of them served on the Trump campaign's transition team... the one for which Mueller's team has obtained all of the emails.

I actually was not kidding when I said "MAGA" is going to mean "My Ass Got Arrested" for the majority of people associated with the Trump campaign. :)

Balty...spot on. Not for a moment do I think Nunes, and his ilk, believe Trump is a 'babe in the woods.' They very much tear at the topic as if he's plenty to hide and it's their fealty to erect a wall between him and comeuppance.

I'm seeing that the day when elected officials concerned themselves with honoring their oath to the constitution, and not taking the scenic route through partisan allegiance, has fallen to dust.

The surprising part of that isn't that there are so many corrupt Republicans - that's been a feature of the GOP since the days of Nixon - but that so many have fallen without so much as a push from Democrats, who are currently as out of power as they probably ever will be.

Nunes' blunt confession to donors that his plan is a modern Saturday Night Massacre with the goal of undercutting the special prosecutor plays right into the hands of Democrats with their sights on the House. When will Republicans realize that stooges like Nunes cost them voters? That show trials, like the recent farcical Strzok hearing only portray them to be toadies to their Bull King?

I agree, the cat will be among the pigeons when the Dems step in and bring the Trump gang back, under oath, to see if they have the stones to tell their tale.

Don't forget the committee chairmanships. If the House goes Dem, then Dems with seniority on every committee become chairs. With all the power of investigation and subpoenaing that that implies.

THAT could get interesting for the next few years, that's for sure...

Heh. My feelings exactly.

Don't you just feel so sorry for those representatives in need of funds in those districts where Trump barely won or actually lost outright to HRC being hung out to dry by the RNC?

Yeah, me neither. :)

If only that were so! Unfortunately Presidents have an unfortunate habit of leaving skid marks that aren't easily washed out. Gitmo. Iraq. Afghanistan.

International reputation. State Department expertise. The CFPB, the EPA. SCOTUS. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.
