Billy Long: Nancy Pelosi, Green New Democrats pushing for investigations that have zero substance

(From Seventh District Congressman Billy Long)

The old television ads reminded us that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. I’ve got news for you, days on a congressional calendar and taxpayer dollars are also terrible things to waste.

But for five plus months now that’s what the Democrat majority in Congress has done because they didn’t approve of the 2016 election results. I would love to say that things will turn around, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Determined to derail President Trump’s agenda at every turn, the Green New Democrats continue to push for investigations that have zero substance, with the Russia investigation being the biggest. Two years and $25 million later, special counsel Robert Mueller turned in his 448-page report concluding there was no collusion between President Trump and Russia during the 2016 election.

Now, the special counsel’s conclusions are not enough for them. After months and months of more political games, Mueller finally broke his silence and spoke to the public last week confirming (again) there was no collusion. But just like before, Democrats still weren’t satisfied.








Shortly after the press conference, Democrats quickly turned up the heat on talks of impeachment. Based on what evidence you ask? None. 

Democrats have gotten so desperate to derail President Trump’s agenda that during a recent interview Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), House Majority Whip, stated he sees impeaching the president as “inevitable.” 

This overly partisan statement, which is becoming more common among Democrats, proves once again that they have no interest in the facts or gathering evidence. 

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi recently said she didn’t want to see President Trump impeached, but instead wanted to see him in prison - once again without any evidence of wrongdoing. His crime? Beating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, the same election that he did not collude with Russia on.

Last month, Attorney General William Barr was scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Mueller report until Democrats decided to change the rules. Instead of treating Barr like any other witness, Democrats were not only going to allow members of Congress to ask questions, but also their staff. This unprecedented move again proved that Democrats were more interested in playing games than getting answers.

And to make matters worse, Democrats announced they would vote next week to hold Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over the full and unredacted Mueller report. However, if Barr were to comply with their request he would be breaking the law due to the report including information collected by grand juries. Democrats are fully aware of this, yet still continue to ask.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it best, “After two years, the special counsel is moving on with his life, and everyone else should do the same.” 

I strongly urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to take this advice and finally move on. The fact that these Green New Democrats continue to push the narrative of collusion even after the investigation has ended shows they have no desire to govern and only seek to obstruct and posture for the 2020 election that is 17 months away.

Zero substance huh? For sure you have not read the report by Mueller or otherwise you might be concerned that since so many are found guilty in the Presidents party, your party, you might consider fessing up to your citizens that something is not right in DC. To perpetuate the hoax fed to us by the GOP and orange hair is not befitting a intelligent person, but I regress. It is a fact that witnesses do not lie after confronted time and again that your boss was working closely as was his staff with foreign governments to undermine our country. To continue to spread these lies as told by our president, over 10,000 now, is not befitting a honest person, but again I must place the emphasis on "HONEST" which it seems to have escaped you and the rest of the GOP. What comments do you have to say about the stupidity of the abortion issue by our state being held up for ridicule across the country and the world? Please do not spend our tax dollars for bandages for your bleeding knuckles.

4:37, who in the hell are you talking to? Billy Long? You think he reads this? What stupidity about abortion are you ranting about? Is it because someone has a different view than you that you deem their views as stupidity? How very tolerant of your leftist self. Very inclusive group you associate with. Tolerant as long as everyone agrees with you.

Moronn, talking directly to Las Vegas Billy as if he is reading this. You make me laugh.

You, my non-specific gender friend, are an absolute jewel. You give purpose to coming to this blog. I read dribble like your post and realize that no matter if life brings me trouble at least I am not you. At least I don't troll a small local blog. I am sure that as your tiny little man hands type out your comments, you laugh to yourself as if you have discovered the wittiest words ever strung together in human history. I am glad that I can be the one to tell you, you don't even come close to being witty or funny. Your attempt at humor is tired and as predictable as a second graders knock knock joke. Why not try something more sophisticated, like a fart joke?
