I spent a little time this morning reading the ‘After Action Reports’ of knuckleheads testimony before what I thought was the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (OGR) . What I did not realize is that when the the Dem’s came back into power in the house, they changed the name, and apparently the scope of the committee. Below is an extract from Breitbart (full article here). What this means is that we now have a congressional committee with the charter to overlook/investigate/implement ‘reform’ in the country. I’m so naive, thought we are/were a free country.
I do take exception to the conclusion that the article’s author reaches (the scope of the committee authority being about Trump), this about as huge a power grab as any I could have imagined. The article reads:
And now it becomes crystal clear why Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the chair of the committee, renamed it last month. What was once the “Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (OGR)” is now the “Committee on Oversight and Reform (COR)” — i.e. no “government.” Cummings said the new name reflected the committee’s “true jurisdiction, which covers both government and the private sector.” By “private sector,” he meant “Trump.”
