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.
