No one runs for office for the "people" not once they get past the extreme local levels. They run for office for the power, money, the connections. And certain people condemn it or praise it depending on the color of tie they wear. This is why politics are stupid. I sincerely hate that this is the way it is. Link to comment

What other examples do you have of oversight being this obstructed? It has not been like this for years. When oversight is done, past administration have produced the proper documents and relevant witnesses for testimony. When was the last time we saw this degree of obstruction of congressional oversight? 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Pretending "both sides" do equal things is an excuse for one side getting away with far, far worse than we've seen before. Let's not pretend this is an equal thing. Only Trumpers buy that line.

I have to ask, when you talk to people in real life...do you constantly ask them for links? Be honest. 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Imagine the Enron CEO trying to block a former employee from testifying about the company's malfeasance on the grounds that, since they had been fired, the CEO doesn't want the testimony because they left on bad terms. The judge would laugh that out of court. 1 Link to comment

Highly doubt it but it should happen Link to comment
