They are really just show trials, all show and no go. It always ends with someone taking all the blame, falling on their sword to protect those really responsible. Unless you're Hilary Clinton and go into the hearing, say all the blame/responsibility falls at your feat and then 5 minutes later say that it was your Deputy Assistant that is totally at fault for everything.
True. Maybe if Congress started holding these douchebags in contempt and locking their asses up, their memories might improve?

The pattern repeats for both sides.
If they are with the POTUS, they use their time to grandstand and don't ask a single relevant question.
If they are against the POTUS, the only answers they ever get are, 'I don't know' and 'I can't remember'.
Probably be best just to spend their time issuing subpoenas and getting as many real facts as they can.

33, at this point, please, why are you still bitching?
your goal isn't impeachment - you said today that obama won't be impeached.
mccain, collins, graham, they all say impeachment off table. even bachman scared to say it. she says "some of the people I talk to say..."
SO really, you don't have a goal here, other than "embarass obama", which is petty and stupid. get him out of office thru impeachment, or STFU and live with his reckless abandon for the law. Anything in the middle is d*ckless and indecisive.
Agreed?
Impeachment isn't going to happen and none of this is serious enough to justify it. But, the ultimate goal should be to force Obama to clean house. Get rid of the bad apples, do it quickly - don't stall, and then move the fuck on.

LOL if you keep bringing up facts its going to make it really hard for the fundy libtards to sweep these things under the rug
LMFAO. Talk about thread backfire. Yeah, they asked that an investigation take place, then they wait for the results. WOW...what a shock, lol. The more the Dems try to divert, the dumber and dumber they get. At least their God-king has owned up to it (if partially). Now, get the people responsible, add in checks and balances, and move the fuck on.

After a close race in 2012, the Minnesota Republican is buying TV ads 18 months early
BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD
Eighteen months before the 2014 midterm elections, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is already buying TV ads for her re-election campaign.
From the National Journal:
Beginning Thursday, Bachmanns campaign will air 31 30-second spots on KMSP, a local Fox affiliate, for $14,565 over the course of 12 days, according to the filing. A Democratic source tracking the buy said Bachmanns total TV reservation across all channels was $85,000. The Fox contract lists Bachmanns buyer as Crossroads Media, an Alexandria-based firm that counts Bachmann among their clients. Crossroads would not confirm the buy, say if time had been purchased on other stations as well, or describe the contents of the advertising; the firm cited a company policy against talking to the media. Operatives with connections to Bachmann would not confirm the buy.
Bachmann, who is facing a host of ethics investigations related to her 2012 presidential run, only narrowly beat out her Democratic opponent Jim Graves in 2012. Graves has said he will run again.
Doesn't surprise me. Seems like the campaigning dates keep getting pushed back further and further. It's like retailers with Christmas decorations...they seem to keep putting them out earlier and earlier.

Unlike their foaming at the mouth reactions to the Benghazi and IRS imbroglios, the GOP's best and brightest have in comparison exhibited an almost Zen-like patience over the AP affair. Former Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales urged giving the Obama administration the benefit of the doubt. While John McCain explained, "For me, to rush to a judgment without knowing all the facts is just not appropriate," Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) defended the Justice Department by proclaiming, "they are doing what we asked them to do, investigate the leak." Meanwhile, the number two Republican in the Senate John Cornyn (R-TX) urged all to withhold judgment:
Any journalist lumping McCain and Gonzales as GOPs best and brightest doesn't have much of an argument, lol. The AP claims the government gave the go ahead. Now, the government is claiming major National Security concerns...but still won't specify the huge danger to the American public. Neither source is hugely credible, IMO.

Question 6: Why didn't the White House find the person in their own backyard who leaked info?
This is par for the course. The reason I'm not big on all the TSA crap. If they kind hide behind the National Security moniker for minutiae, then they can hide behind it for this. And then nothing ever has to be explained. It's always gonna be, you just have to 'trust' us. In many aspects of NS, that's fine, but they need to give a much better justification and explanation as to how the American people were in such jeopardy.

Weren't you just crying like a little bitch the other day about someone else posting non political shit.
Why yes, yes you were.
Of course, as a typical lib douchebag, hypocrisy is 2nd nature for you.
I guess MSNBC hasn't given you you're talking points for the day. Don't worry, they'll be coming out shortly.

yeah - they said they will talk in public instead and they believe that private meeting to be inappropriate and I agree
did you miss that part dumbfuck
Issa and the committee members don't need a private meeting to "prepare questions and notes"
lol...holy shit you're dumb. No wonder you're too chickenshit to tell anybody what you do, lmfao. Well, Issa feels it is needed. I doubt this is going anywhere as I don't think they can force them to do it privately (but I don't know for certain).
