As of this morning, we don't even have McCain or Miss Lindsey on board with a special prosecutor.

And Sessions cannot be counted on to do the right thing. I wouldn't doubt that the firing of Comey was scheduled to occur just as he was leaving D.C. Is his office sealed? Is evidence being destroyed as we speak?

committee no matter how small. They can call for a debate on every tiny little change. Nothing even makes it out of committee to the floor and if it does, they start all over again and insist on debate and roll call votes on every single little thing. It can slow the process down to where nothing gets done. They can basically STOP the GOP agenda in it's tracks.
