Jason Chaffetz and his merry band of treasonous sycophants promise HRC investigations on day 1.

Chaffetz is visibly orgasmic at the thought of investigating a "target rich environment" that he envisions lasting years and years.
My serious question is: Is Madam President required to comply or appear at his "hearings"? Or, can she raise a middle finger and tell them, "Sorry, I'm very busy doing MY JOB running the country and I don't have time for your grandstanding, bullshit games"?

Obama tried hard to work with them and they blew him off. I used to get so frustrated with him for trying to work with them and getting nowhere. I think that has energized his campaign efforts for Hillary. He is making up for lost time.

Republicans are Republicans first and Americans last. They would give ISIS our nuclear codes just to make Obama and Clinton look bad.

A Farmer in winter found a frozen Viper. Having pity, he picked it up and warmed it in his bosom. But the Viper, when revived, bit him. As he lay dying, he said, "I deserved this, for showing compassion to such a horrid creature."

That is a terrific site to check out members of congress and how they spend their budgets. I checked my local congressman, a tea party guy and found him paying consultant fees to a LLC that had ties to him. I even wrote to a consumer advocate group, I think it was Common Cause but it was a long time ago. They wrote back and asked for more details but never followed up. However, that site is a great place to start.
