I'm watching Rachel Maddow & gop has refused to name anyone to House Intelligence Committee

This proves just how badly the gop wants to obstruct the Mueller investigation. Adam Schiff's hands are tied. He cannot do anything.

Below is a screen grab of committees. Fucking traitors.

I wish she had asked Rep. Swalwell what the plan is to move forward. Surely they cannot do this for the next two years.

convene the committee the minute the rule change passes, and immediately vote to send the testimony to Mueller.

Don't take any s--t from these assclowns, not for a goddamned minute.

Created on January 26, 1802 (2 Stat. 129), the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library is the oldest continuing joint committee of the U.S. Congress. The Committee has oversight of the operations of the Library of Congress, as well as management of the National Statuary Hall Collection, the U.S. Botanic Garden, and works of fine art in the Capitol. Membership consists of the chairman and three other Members of the Committee on House Administration, the chairman of the House Appropriations Legislative Branch Subcommittee, and the chairman and four other Members of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration. The chairmanship of the Committee alternates between the House and Senate with each Congress.


Hope this helps.

the Dems resign from committee when the Republicans ran it? Or, any of the other ones? They could have held up the incessant Bengazhi witch hunts, and the incessant witch hunts over Hillary's goddamn e-mails. Among other things. I'm not buying that this move will tie Schiff's hands.

when they were in the majority. Issued subpoenas, held 'repug members only' meetings, made any move they wanted.
