19. It's not a circus, Prosense

Unless you want to count the US Public as being the targets of this circus to entertain, but not inform.

Alexander and Clapper lied with evidence before Congress in March. All of this comes pouring out two months later, so it's not clean-up, it is business as usual.

I'm hardly an apologist for Congress, but when someone under oath commits perjury before them, knowing the consequences (but assured they won't face them) and does it anyway to get more funding, I have to think that more than one Congressional committee and committee member was mislead.

There should be consequences for that, and have always been before in our history, who or what is protecting them from it now?

I'm no fan of Congress, but when someone gets up in front of them and lies, there should be consequences. I'd demand it no matter who is President or no matter who I was trying to protect politically because that isn't politics anymore. That's criminal behavior not conducive to a Democratic Republic.
