      JUST IN: In January, Sen. Patrick Leahy asked Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley to hold a hearing on "the escalating politicized attacks on the Justice Department and the FBI." In light of the past 24 hours, Leahy is now going public with his request.

          Can an entire party be tried for obstruction? As Burke once said that the only thing permitting evil to flourish is good people remaining silent. GOP, where did your patriotic heart and soul go?

          Democratic senators finally start to take action. Is it too little too late?

          I've been right here. Dems could have been doing a lot more than what they have been. Leahy's letter here is more than a year old. Maybe he should have said something sooner.

          They're not apolitical when they voluntarily take part in politics.

          “apolitical law enforcement agencies.” Peak liberalism, or what?

          No doubt. There’s absolutely nothing in the Beltway that’s not politicized right now.
