House Armed Services chairman prepared to end investigation into follow-up boat strike
From CNN's Annie Grayer

House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers is prepared to end his panel’s investigation into the September double-tap strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, a committee aide tells CNN.

Rogers received a classified briefing last week to view the video footage and is now pushing for the rest of his panel to be able to see the video.

“The video and classified briefings from the Pentagon were sufficient to convince him this was a legal action. But he’s also been clear that we need a classified briefing where the rest of HASC’s members can see the video, and we expect that to happen next week,” the committee aide told CNN.

This entire " sending middles at small boats" should be an action opposed by anyone other than a cultist. I realize it is hard for the government to acknowledge the United States government committed a series of war crimes and defended them as policy.

Remember Nixon was impeached, not for invading Cambodia and Laos to "end the war in Vietnam", but for crimes related to illegal campaign actions.

However, a case can be made that having at least one House in our hands could act as a check against the many illegal actions going forward. This would include not just this "military" action, but things done by ICE and DHS.
