no.
The Dems are setting up the groundwork to allow these bastards to skate.
After reading what several of the higher profile insiders are putting out, including a major adviser to Obama it would not be a good idea to go after them I’m convinced that Telecom immunity was a first step in allowing them to get away with it.
Obama has made some comments that pointed to this sort of attitude as well, in his cagey and careful way..
.
Spirit of post partisanship and all don’t ya know.
ugh.

OK, I’ve read through the comments, but I don’t see what I want to know.

Just what exactly are the enhanced powers of investigation that an impeachment investigation by the HJC has? And where are these powers defined? For example, regarding subpoena powers.

I want to respond to allegation that this would be “just another investigation,” with the same (non-)results as every other investigation.

Help appreciated on this!

Drive US-129 between Tennessee and North Carolina sometime (a road known as Deal’s Gap and/or The Tail of the Dragon). It’s a joy. 311 turns in 11 miles.

I’m just not that thrilled by watchin guys make left turns

now, watching guy fuck up trying to make left turns, that’s another story …

I done 180 mph in a car before

it’s easy when all the other cars are going 180

try doing 180 mph on the innerstate, with grandpa mctourist in his rv, and joe the beet farmer driving his tractor in the slow lane

after you’ve done that, NASCAR don’t look so hard

I doubt I could hit a 98 mph fastball, but I can drive fast, it ain’t hard …

Also found this interesting about Lincoln Jones III:

Lincoln Associates, Inc. was founded by
General Jones and provides assistance regarding energy related interests both
in the United States and internationally. Consulting clientele of Lincoln
Associates, Inc. includes Seimens and Westinghouse and General Jones directly
consults with the US Department of Defense and State. All of the
aforementioned companies associated with General Jones are based in Houston,
TX.

Does “directly consults” really mean ‘lobbies?’

DMAC had some good research from 7/12 here.

I think the presence of Major General Lincoln Jones III, USA (Ret) is interesting too. Jones is listed at the Chairman of Board of Worldwide Strategic Partners, Payne’s firm.

The James A Baker Institute at Rice University put together a regional homeland security council in 2004. Jones is on it. Jones also recently joined Global Resource Group, a company that seems to proport to be able to make coal by microwaving old tires.

Now for the beer report: Peach lambic is worth the price. Sorta sweet, the hops are not conspicuous, definitely filling and tastes really really good. Consider serving it in 4-ounce glasses – the bottle I got hold of was 750ml. (This was from Lindeman’s brewery.)
