WE'RE ALL BEING PLAYED FOR SUCKERS

We all know that the Republicans have been in full control of the House and Senate since January of  2017.  During that  period of time we have learned about all kinds of nefarious activities that were going on during the Obama years in virtually all facets of government.  Yet, it terms of actual retrieval and review of related documents and disclosure to the public, it's been minuscule. 

The Republican leadership... Ryan and McConnell in particular...  have adamantly refused to demand compliance with requests for information and/or subpoenas.  The rest of the establishment, both Democrats and Republicans... have basically avoided the issues altogether, with the exception of an occasional snipe from the Democrats.  Only a handful of Republicans have had the drive and patriotic energy to try and get at the truth. 

This big "breakthrough" we just had over the FISA memo?  That came after months of requests and outright failure to comply with a Congressional subpoena and was followed by threat of contempt of court and impeachment proceedings after which... they still did not produce the document, but only allowed to Members of the House to view the document in FBI offices.  The document remained somewhat redacted and no copies could be made.  In fact, we're not even certain that what the two guys saw was the original document.  

And yet.... we seem to be happy with the situation?  

We're six months away from an election.  At this rate, we will not know anymore about what went on than we do today.  Remember, regarding the 1.2 million documents of which they've only retrieved 3,000, when the House finally got its back up, Christopher Wray finally said he would "try" and speed up the process.  Still, nothing happened.  More pressure was put on for a Special Counsel to investigate,  so Sessions responded by naming an Obama appointee to "assist" in an investigation.  Still more pressure was put on and Sessions responded by naming another attorney, appointed by Trump, to help "speed things up."  Stall, stall, stall... 

After the November elections, the Republicans may no longer control Congress and then where do you think these investigations are going to go?  In the alternative, we'll have a whole bunch of new guys settling into the capitol and the excuse will be, "We have to start from scratch."  

Enough is enough.  The stone wall must be dismantled... NOW. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
