Republican Partisans In The FBI Aren't Even Afraid Of A Clinton or Democratic Party

At The New Republic, Brian Beutler reminds us that Republican power in Congress -- to threaten Hillary Clinton with a blockade of her judicial appointees if she's elected president, to compel the FBI to embarrass Clinton shortly before the election with more talk of emails -- derives from Democratic voters' decision to stay home in large numbers in the 2010 and 2014 midterms. The FBI, Beutler says, has no fear of recriminations because Republicans control both houses of Congress:

FBI agents can leak damaging information about Clinton with impunity in part because a Republican Congress is never going to investigate or push back on partisan law-enforcement interventions on their behalf, even if they’re wildly inappropriate. Controlling even one house of Congress would’ve allowed Democrats to place a check on this kind of activity, but they ceded the entire body two years ago.

As a result, Comey understood that there’d be hell to pay on Capitol Hill if he withheld the letter he sent congressional investigators on Friday for any length of time, because Republicans control the oversight apparatus and the subpoena power that comes with it. “It doesn’t surprise me, though, in a way that he did this,” Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House oversight committee told CNN Monday, “because I don’t think the American people have a clue as to how hard the Republicans, particularly on my committee, have been on the FBI.”

Yes, people who are outraged by this should vote for a Democratic president and for Democrats in the House and Senate.

1. Congress, the most powerful branch of our 3-branches of Gov't, should be solely in Democratic hands.

Republicans have showed how destructive and anti-Constitution they are. When they show you who they are, believe them.

Americans must be made to understand that having a Democratic president isn't enough. We must give our Democratic president a Democratic Senate and House. The latter is more difficult, thanks to precise gerrymandering before 2010, but we can right that ship in 2019, and that's what President Obama and former AG Holder are planning on doing with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

Post-White House, President Obama is returning to his roots as a community organizer, only, this time the community is the entire United States!
