#1 Democrats are discussing whether Obama will assert executive privilege.

Of course he will. He's already building the argument now, with arms and a diplomatic mission to the Syrian opposition.

It was our strategy all along you see. The tragic events of Benghazi only delayed it, but I can talk of it no further.

#2 Wasn't the plan to have nuclear exchange with Russians before the hearings?

#3 You mean covering their arms trafficking with AQ while a state of war exists with AQ (SJR 23, 2001)? You better bet their treasonous little hearts they will.

#4 Sure, and the ineffectual Republican eunuchs will stamp their tiny, impotent feet and do absolutely nothing. Look at the stellar results for IRS, F & F, so far.
And today's refusal by Kerry to NOT comply with the House's subpoena is only the cherry on top.

Bambi is laughing all the way to Jan 2017....

USN Ret., I agree with you, can you figure out something that they could do that would be effective?

The only thing I can think of is investigate all of the scandals and concentrate on criminal proceedings against the mid-level actors and work up to the upper echelons.

Kind of like fire fighting. Start at the edges and work into the middle. I doubt the media and Dems would allow it but going after the head of the snake only works if a) you can get to it, and b) if the still functional body would die too.

That plan went awry when he could not convince Putin to target only red states and tea-party gatherings.

#7 AlanC, To answer your question, I seriously doubt that even if the R's take control of both houses in November that they will do anything. they will keep that RINO-In-Waiting Boner in charge, and continue to grovel at the feet of the LightBringer.......(lest they be dubbed racist)
