How to handle bogus investigations in Congress
From the beginning, we should make a HUGE deal of the cost in money and time. The narrative should become:

We need the administration to focus on the economy, not waste time dealing with endless subpoenas. We also
want to cut back on government waste, and this is an extravagant waste of taxpayer money for a political witch hunt.


In other words, attack the GOP for wasting precious resources and not caring about what is
important to the American people. Turn their weapons against them.

2. bingo
Didn't the impeachment fiasco cost well over 70 million ?

To say nothing of how many people turned off to government during that period since it put everything in a stranglehold.

It was all the media talked about for an insufferably long time. Ughhh.

Nice to see you posting again Nance.

6. No kidding. It's not like there isn't PLENTY to investigate.
Should be easy too -- they brag about their crimes.

8. You know that takes too many words.
The cameras do not stop for more than five words from any member of the public. I think we should start shouting "where are the jobs" at every Republican Representative within earshot. Especially John Blubber er Boner er whatever.
