Congress in their underwear

I have to wonder. Nancy wants nothing to do with impeachment. Someone else says we shouldn't "criminalize" public service.

WTF is going on? Does this administation have pictures of everyone in their underwear or what??

1. My fingers are hoarse from typing its all in the blackmail
The spying started as soon as the cabal got control and guess who they started spying on and guess who by way of getting to where they are, the seat they hold, hasn't done something that would be very embarrassing in the least and criminal in the worst. Its a government running scared because of being blackmailed. Remember the antrax sent out early on as yet another sign to those at that time 'non-believers' that they, the cabal, is serious.

I vote Blackmail as the engine powering this sad ship of state we have today. nothing more nothing less, blackmail is it.

2. Whatever it is, I'm not willing to give up my sons' freedom
or Constitutional guarantees for it.

3. You honestly believe that Pat Leahy is being blackmailed?
If so, the blackmailers haven't been very successful at getting him to go along with them.

4. They aren't blackmailing everyone
for a couple of reasons-one, they only need to target a few to get what they want. Two, it would be too time consuming. Three, some Congress people cannot be blackmailed. Four, they want to preserve the illusion that Congress is an independent political body--if everyone in Congress bowed to them, even Joe Sixpack would get suspicious.

5. No but I do think John Conyers is as is Nancy and Harry.
I do believe that with all my heart. There is no other reasons I can see for them to roll over as they have. At one point they all three emulated a sense of invincibility while now there is not one shred of any of that left.

I keep coming back to the 'toon by ralph steedman on nixon during watergate but with a slightly different twist, when you got 'em by the balls their hearts and minds soon follow, or something like that.
