Republicans want Revenge for Clinton's email judgement

[UCmeNdc]

No one plays Madame Fury like Megyn Kelly in a black leatherette cocktail dress. And who better as her escort than Speaker Paul Ryan, Republican puppet and master of the show?

After spending a few moments whining about how the Clintons are "above the law," Ryan promised revenge hearings. But not ones where Hillary Clinton would be called to Capitol Hill, because we all know what happens when she gives testimony before Congress. (She kicks their ass, in case you've forgotten.)

No, they're going to haul Director Comey up to the Hill to answer questions that he did not, or would not, answer today.

This was so predictable I could see it coming while Comey was wrapping up his press statement. He left just enough of a scent to bring the hounds, and the hounds are now barking at his heels.

Like any "good" Republican, he will surely give them just enough tiny tidbits of innuendo to sustain them and provide a distraction from the flaming train wreck of a candidate they're fielding for the Oval Office.

It's all just so cynical. I once again feel the need to remind everyone that Trump is a fascist endorsed by Fox News, whereas Hillary Clinton is a Democrat who once served on the panel that investigated Richard Nixon. Roger Ailes has a long memory. Just so you understand the lay of the land and what the agenda is.

1. Republicans always want revenge. nt

2. It's amazing and disheartening that we, as the public, even listen to GOP leaders and

pundits anymore. IMO they have completely discredited and disqualified themselves. How have they managed to keep afloat, given the number of wrong positions they take, their anti-knowledge, fact-free, revisionist history opinions, and party-before-everything stances?

Shouldn't it be clear to everyone that their opinions are meaningless? If asked on to a talk show, they should be ridiculed instead of asked for serious comment. On what issue do they have something to contribute besides 'horse-race' type drama? It's more reality show than political discussion...alliances, personalities, rumors, shocking statements...

It's really shameful they aren't challenged more often so that US public discourse has a chance to be productive. As POTUS says, we need two responsible parties in this country to participate in the democratic process....but we don't need to PRETEND that we have them, giving credence where none is due.

3. Republicans better be careful. Comey talked about "past events"

If the Democrats on any investigating committee are competent at all that opens a huge door for questions about say - the outing of Valerie Plame, etc. Hmm. You really want to go there, Mr. Ryan?
