Is this is what Congress is supposed to do? I think not.

We're Witnessing a Travesty
By Franklin Price
9/13/2016

We're witnessing a travesty
In congress on this day
They've done it many times before
Must always have their say

A hearing on the server
That was used by Hillary
The FBI resolved it
Congress will not let it be

Congress is wasting money
It's not budgeted to spend
It's a  judiciary decision
To resolve it in the end

Congress hasn't done their job
For  many many years
They're not the judge and jury
The Constitution makes that clear

All the witnesses plead the fifth
Was the greatest thing to see
The hearing's going nowhere
Which is where it ought to be

Whether or not corruption
Brought the hearing to the floor
Next time take it to the courts
And not to Congress any more

Thanks for visiting Richard. Congress takes an oath to honor the Constitution. Maybe they should read it so the know what they're honoring.
