Well...then dont ask baiting questions....at least until you understand the proper role of Congressional oversight.
Under which of these objectives and purposes....
* improve the efficiency, economy, and effectiveness of governmental operations;
* evaluate programs and performance;
* detect and prevent poor administration, waste, abuse, arbitrary and capricious behavior, or illegal and unconstitutional conduct;
* protect civil liberties and constitutional rights;
* inform the general public and ensure that executive policies reflect the public interest;
* gather information to develop new legislative proposals or to amend existing statutes;
* ensure administrative compliance with legislative intent; and
* prevent executive encroachment on legislative authority and prerogatives.
... would a Congressional oversight investigation of Obama's, McCain's or any future president's "friends and supporters"
before he occupied the WH be justified?
Congress is responsible for
overseeing the administration of the Executive Branch....not the previous behavior of sitting presidents and their friends.
