Power he still retains. when this commission was initially proposed, republicans said, we dont want to partisan commission. we demand the following things including, the power to equal presentation on the committee and to subpoena witnesses. the democrats say, and you could have all the things you asked for, and the republican said, no thank you. now, what they are getting, is a committee that would have subpoena power, over which they have no say. they will regret this at the end of the day. th...

But well find out what the ig report says. i think that illegal leaks always are going to attract attention regardless of which side is doing them, if theres any kind of plightization here, i -- politicization here, i doubt it. the leaking was so apparent, so obvious, it was going to attract attention. howie: therefore, there was an investigation, but again, no charges were ever brought. the mainstream media are going crazy over this, saying it has watergate overtones. the probe did go through t...
