Can't Congress summon WaPo and NY Times and just ask them who gave them the classified info under oath?

Yes
That should happen
Let me drop this question:
If Hillary would have been elected and Congress were under control of Democrats- if allegations were made about her doing something wrong, like communicating with Russians, would Congress be calling for an investigation?

We should shut this thing down until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

 

[Meghan54]

Yes
That should happen

I'd hope so. No one should be immune from these sorts of allegations being investigated who is in that position or similar, such as cabinet positions, etc.

Honestly what did people think would happen in terms of Trump's Russian ties? The writing was on the wall for months.

Yes

Let me answer this way. If it were discovered Hillary had unknown ties with ISIS and refused to criticize them, I believe Dems would have full investigations

There will be an investigation. Just to make sure you don't find out about stuff like this again.

There will be investigations and nothing is mutually exclusive. That Chaffetz is reluctant doesn't change the eventual result but it may be slowed in coming. It's way beyond silencing.

Well. He has said they won't investigate. Period. That was yesterday. 33 Benghazi hearings and, what, 7 on emails but this. This they just can't be bothered with.

Rand Paul said nothing can get done if republicans are investigating republicans, apparently it's just a waste of time according to Senator Paul.

What that means is that his office won't investigate. That does not mean all agencies are banned into looking into wrongdoing. In fact that would be illegal. There is no such thing as immunity from investigation. The FBI for example can certainly follow leads based on any relevant material including leaks and pressure or no pressure they have no real choice and they know that if this blows up everyone participating in the greatest illegal plot in the history of the US will go down. While it's not the French bureaucracy, our is far more enduring than any elected office or official.

Trump and his allies defeating that? I'll believe in alien abductions and anal probing first.
