Jim Jordan is Lucy holding the FBI football and promising us Charlie Browns that we are really going to kick the hell out it this time...

...and nothing ever happens.

Just like the last time and the time before and the time before.....

Pure theatre and nothing else

I hope you're wrong...guess I'm a "Charlie Brown" at heart... 😏

I forget—can a congressional committee refer anything to the DOJ? Where real punishment could happen? Not that the current one is of any use to truth. I often just cannot watch any of this theater hijinx. Plus who covers it? “The revolution will not be televised”.

You make a good point. If there is no mechanism for punishment because the agencies charged with this are themselves deeply corrupted then what is the point? There will be media silence so it won’t even serve to wake up the sleepers . It really does seem like theater. Even so, I wish I were wrong and that there was real hope of reform but the Deep State seems almost permanently entrenched now. So depressing!

And there will be no mechanism as long as the communists are in power. The FBI has been weaponized as the President's personal SS gestapo. Just as with the US military, the real FBI agents are being culled from the service leaving only SS Nazi thugs.

"Deep State" is just "Deep Statists", PEOPLE that get up and put their pants/panties on every AM. Just People, Not gods. No need to put them on a pedistal of invincibility.

They are "organized" with lower level Apparachik Polezi to carry out their orders. Nothing More, Nothing Less.

Yes General, they’re just normal people like you or me. It was normal people who just “went along” who enabled the 3rd Reich. The banality of evil as Hannah Arendt put it. All we can do is stand for truth and be willing to take the consequences. This is what we are called to do so that we are not complicit. But it’s not easy.

It's building in the foundation that they must rig 2024 because their LIVES depend on it! Buckle up.

I'm fairly certain nothing will happen to these people. At least, not anytime soon with the current Biden regime at the DOJ. But....I'm glad these hearings are taking place and exposing the evilness. Whether people pay attention and realize how corrupt these agencies are, is up to each person but at least the information is publicly available for the taking. Conservatives have been frequently criticized for letting things slide, cheek turning, and not fighting back. What's happening now in the House are Republicans who promised to fight back...and that's exactly what they're doing. With these hearings, we now have a record...a record that may come back to haunt these evil doers in the future should Republicans gain majority in the senate & WH which will also mean new leadership within the DOJ. It's a long shot for sure but I'm remaining hopeful because I know good will always prevail evil. Now....whether I live long enough to see it is a different story! Lol!

OK, let me add to my gloomy, "realistic" comments. The good news is that their narrative is broken and visible for all to see. The tide is turning, the dam is breaking. The Great Divide is happening. They have lost control, especially with the opening of free exchange again on Twitter, thanks to an unnamed billionaire. People are looking. We have to keep exposing and this is what the House is doing.

Just in time for a large false flag. Chinese War balloons or "unidentified" crafts being shor down maybe? I see "aliens" in our future, like Reagan said before the UN in 1987. WORLD PEACE ✌️

What's important here is the American people are see the corruption and manipulation for themselves and when we reach critical mass "in the know" they will not rebel or riot in the streets when "The Plan" is initiated with martial law and arrests of some important, seemingly good poeple, and military tribunals with executions.

I can just say, even if it leads to nothing, he is still bringing it to light. May he be a David against Goliath.

Yes, I feel like we’ve been here so many times before. And yet I can’t help but hope it will be different this time. But I sure wouldn’t bet on it.

Nothing happens? Peter Strzok was fired....don't fall into "Eeyore" despair and despondency.

Aug. 13, 2018 WASHINGTON — Peter Strzok, the F.B.I. senior counterintelligence agent who disparaged President Trump in inflammatory text messages and helped oversee the Hillary Clinton email and Russia investigations, has been fired for violating bureau policies, Mr. Strzok’s lawyer said Monday.
