Hopes dim for congressional Russia inquiries


“Congressional investigations unfortunately are usually overtly political investigations, where it is to one side’s advantage to drag things out,” said Mr. Gowdy, who made his name in Congress as a fearsome investigator of Democrats. He added, “The notion that one side is playing the part of defense attorney and that the other side is just these white hat defenders of the truth is laughable.”

I just watched three episodes of it on Hulu last night and had to stop because frankly it creeped me out.

“One thing we’re going to be looking at very strongly is welfare reform. That’s becoming a very, very big subject,” the president said during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “And people are taking advantage of the system, and then other people aren’t receiving what they really need to live, and we think it’s very unfair to them.”

“But some people are really taking advantage of our system from that standpoint, and we are going to be looking very, very strongly, therefore, at welfare reform,” he continued. “It’s gonna be a very big topic under this administration. And it’s started already, and we have a lot of recommendations that we’re going to be making, and you’ll be hearing about them very shortly.”
