Republicans just say, "There is nothing to see here.", and the matter is closed.

Rove and Ailes made damn sure there would never be anything coming to the surface. Our famous Attorney General and his so called Justice Department were informed by the !%er crowd that nothing here go away. We are seeing the real Media and their puppet masters at play,and it is all about a similar little Project run out of Arkansas,same players and just a new day,hang in there,the ride is going to be interesting. Got to love the new Right Wing Conspiracy Theories,slight change in character names,but these stupids have not changed their script one bit.

That fucker should be doing 30 years to life, but feckless Democrats failed to hold him in contempt of Congress and lock his ass up! Why is it that the American public always seems to go along with such blatant Republican Hypocrisy?

democrats sit on there asses and go on the defensive instead of counterpunching and calling them out on their scandals. The comeback no matter what the question put to any dem should be ... "I understand your concern but Karl Rove deleted 22 MILLION emails when under investigation and there wasn't any concern so when we have an investigation into that we can address this! If not, then obviously there's no scandal.

And keep repeating it ... loudly when still pressed ... over and over again.
