A very candid admission. Thank you, Congressman!

GOP Sen. Nunes should be removed from Congress if he provided committee info Directly to TRUMP to assist in obstruction Of justice and run interference of this work.

Vomit.

Really?what a surprise!! 😝

mattgaetz Was Matt sober? Yes? That’s unusual.

Shocker...

RepMattGaetz It is astonishing that this faux journalist manages to construe one sentence by Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz as a mea culpa to Congressional abuse on behalf of President Trump. Is this the best the New York Times has to offer? Pathetic.

These guys covered for Trump, they all need to be called in and investigated. Trump has nerve saying our FBI are corrupt while the Republicans were coving Trumps butt.

Of course it was. They worked hard covering for him.

GOP = SWAMP!

these are the 'Good Germans' who stood by and did nothing about the rise of Hitler and Nazis...

I knew it!...Republican law maker have been protecting president Trump from the start! Regardless that he's attacking career law enforcement and touting Putin agenda, They remained silent. Yet, they were sworn in, to protect the constitution of America.

“Republican oversight” what’s that?🔥🤦‍♀️😡

Which oversight exactly was it? The oversight that they should have provided but didn’t? Or the oversight that they didn’t provide that helped him in his corrupt actions?

...spinning in their graves!

Too Covington boy sued Wapo for 100 million. Hope he gets more.

Of course it was. The Republican Party is devoid of any humanity & effective management. Their sole goal is to pillage the system for any personal gains. Destroy reputable advisories & pontificate about their saintliness because they are Christians. Actions ALWAYS speak louder.

Shocking DUIMatt mattgaetz admitting to bring part of TeamTreason - fool.

Blah blah blah.

Well no shit Sherlock!

Traitor.

Barely… But then you WANTED all the BS against him to be true! Not an admission 'of guilt' as you imply ~ But a statement of fact! THANK GOD! there was republican oversight! without it the Democrats would have us living in a 3rd world country. BananaRepublic WashingonCompost

Pos

Someone start writing that check for defamation lawsuit over at the

I dont think so , I think it's more the Democrats are scrutinizing an pandering an milishesly putting words an events in the sheen of things to try an get a fucking confession out of them by there criminal actions as Democrats. Its harrassment my opinion.

I hope his constituents remember his face and vote him out of office. For him to be on an oversight commitee and not do his job is a disgrace and disservice to the public.

Gaetz may be the stupidest member of Congress, and that is a title for which there is some stiff competition.

Really? I never would’ve guessed. 🙄

Obligatory.

Of course it was ! The hearings were FAIR, Democrats have gone so Bat Shit CRAZY, that they would not recognize a fair hearing if one bit them. An they have proved that they will keep investigating, NO matter if there is no evidence, they will make it up !

When Congressmen work for the President instead of overseeing what the Executive Branch does as in the Constitution, they should be charged as Russian Assets as well.

Disgusting

Congress is supposed to use 'oversight' in regards to President Trump. The GOP-Run Congress used 'overlook'.

I think he confuses oversight with enablement.

You’re kidding!? 🙄

LOL!

If you mean that they protected him, then yes! If you mean that they did oversight, then a resounding NO! Republicans are complicit in the crimes of this administration

JUST IN: Nick Sandmann sues Washington Post for $250 million in first Covington Catholic lawsuit CovingtonCatholic NickSandmann

No shit sherlock..

There wasn't any.

Oversight? When was that exactly?

I think Mueller is going to end up being very helpful to Trump.

Congress most evil member.

'Republican oversight' of realDonaldTrump that is an oxymoron

No shit

What oversight?

Dem oversight will be helpful to America.

At least this is OP/ED and not news ! Wondering when Schiff is picked up for Subversion ?

Democrat House oversight won't e helpful to Trump.

Gee, ya think

Confusion reigns as Trump and Congress scramble to dodge another shutdownWith a little more than two days to spare before funding lapses for the second time since December, confusion reigned at the White House and on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. 'So much confusion believe me!' If he pulls some shit and shuts down the government again, the American people need to march on Washington and demand his resignation. He claimed Mexico would pay for the wall. It was a huge draw for his base, Mexico will pay for the wall. Why is this being overlooked? He shut the government down over not getting his demands met with wall money. That cost billions of dollars. Again why isn’t Mexico paying.

Congress rushes to finish spending deal with hope Trump will sign itCongressional negotiators are scrambling to finalize a massive funding bill designed to end a months-long standoff over Trump’s border wall and avert another shutdown on Friday night Now they’re taking this seriously. It’s amazing what someone’s resolve to get something done can do to those around them. As long as they don’t fill it with a bunch of BS - which I doubt they can refrain from doing Instead of wall, go after companies that hire illegals. Punishment for Corp owner :10 years in jail, have to pay for food and lodging of the illegal and family, educate the kids and support them with fast track to becoming citizens. Cut demand and supply will follow .
