And if they have any sense they will stick to reducing government footprint, making Tax cuts permanent, showcasing the booming economy, and fixing immigration. Because working class people don't give a **** about Comey or the OIG report. The Democrats are demonising themselves without any help, let them commit political suicide with their identity politics and zero message.coyote68 said:
If the Republicans have any balls left, they will make the upcoming midterms a referendum on Comey vs. Trump.
And the OIG report vs. the dems.
This will be fun to watch.
They wanted to protect Rosenstein too, it was ridiculous what Warner was proposingaggiehawg said:Yeah because the Dems want some kind of Star Chamber to be formally and permanently ensconced.RoscoePColtrane said:
McConnell said, "No."
Okay how many of those that want to see them burn are going to vote Democrat in the midterms?chach said:
"Because working class people don't give a **** about Comey or the OIG report."
???? They're the only ones that give a ***** More than anything, I want to see these pieces of **** burn. ALL of them. If we didn't already have a front row seat, I'd pay a cover equal to my tax cut to watch it all go up in flames.
Couple of points: As of the last election, the Pubs have done a MUCH better job in the last 25 years of getting younger replacements ready through the huge State gains they made during the Obama years, and secondly, Trump's accomplishments continue to amaze me, starting with his election, when I was certain each endeavour would fail.aggiehawg said:
40 GOPers in the House have quit. Holding the House would be a miracle at this point.

A lot of the resignations, outside of the usual turnover, seem to be either due to the secret harassment fund payouts, or people who hate Trump.
Not prepared to go there yet. Don't think the indictments are against R House members. Most just don't want to be in the Minority Party under Pelosi again.marble rye said:Rapier108 said:

Seriously?! No way are they leaving bc of Trump. No one just gives up that power. They are being forced out. Swamp being drained. 18500K sealed indictments, hmm?

Mueller's Botched Counterintelligence Efforts
....As most people understand, Russia -- successor to the USSR, child of the KGB, plaything of Vladimir Putin -- has continued to execute covert operations against America. Mueller's inability to understand this threat perhaps exacerbated the problem....
Even the House IG Theresa Grafenstine resigned, and they just appointed her Deputy Mike Ptasienski.aggiehawg said:
Good question. I don't know but I suspect that the number of unexpected resignation of House members plays a factor.
Horiwitz isn't the IG over the House, he's DOJ.
But, is there another IG investigation going on in the House?

Does Rod Rosenstein's Comey Memo Response Indicate Possible Criminal Review?
...Yesterday, in response to congressional committee demand by Chairman Goodlatte (Judiciary), Chairman Nunes (Intel) and Chairman Gowdy (Oversight), for the memos written by James Comey, some of which were leaked to media, Asst. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has asked for additional time for DOJ review.
According to Gregg Re:There is some speculation Rosenstein's notation of memos relating "to an ongoing investigation" would indicate James Comey's legal risk might be: (1) part of the discussion; and (2) part of the criminal evidence in the larger review by John Huber....Quote:
"Department officials are consulting with the relevant parties one or more of the memos may relate to an ongoing investigation, may contain classified information, and may report confidential Presidential communications, so we have a legal duty to evaluate the consequences of providing access to them," he wrote.

...19. Here is the fascinating exchange:
Sam Donaldson:
"We know what the Bill Clinton WH tactics are.
I mean, they've been almost open about it.
Attack the press & perhaps w/good reason...
20. "..Attack the independent counsel, perhaps for some good reason, & stonewall on the central issue, which is the president of the United States Bill Clinton. And if he has nothing to hide, why is he hiding?"
George Stephanopolous' Answer Is SHOCKING...
21. Stephanopoulos: "I agree with that. And there's a different, long-term strategy, which I think wld b far more explosive. WH allies are already starting to whisper abt what I'll call the Ellen Rometsch strategy. . . .
...32. Everyone on the right has one nagging question:
"How & Why Do The Clinton's Get Away With (fill-in-the-blank)?"
whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITIC
It Is All Abt The Politicization Of FBI; CIA; NSA; AG & others Charged w/Protect&Enforce Laws & NOBODY is ABOVE IT.
Unless You Got Dirt.
33. Dirt, given to you by your friends at various government agencies. We now have PROOF that Hillary has an ally in James Comey; Loretta Lynch; Rod Rosenstein and the guy who said he loved her...George Stephanopolous.
These allegiances began all the way back to Monica Lewinsky.
34. They used dirt on any1 trying to expose BClinton...and it worked.
So just fast-forward to today and change the names.
They attck @realDonaldTrump w/ "dirt" using allies at FBI, CIA, and the Media w/ "Stormy" Allegations.
& whn THAT dsn't wrk they ATTACK ANY1 Assoc 2POTUS...

Dershowitz said, "Sometimes you should un-recuse yourself, and I think Attorney General Sessions should un-recuse himself when it comes to the New York investigation because it's not part of the Russia investigation. He's not a witness or a potential subject there. He's the attorney general of the United States. He ought to be in charge of supervising the New York investigation, not Rosenstein."
LINKQuote:
Dershowitz replied, "[Jeff Sessions] wouldn't try to stop [the New York investigation]. He'd play the same role, presumably, that [Deputy Attorney General Rod] Rosenstein is playing. He'd be one to sign off on the search warrant. He'd be the one to be supervising the U.S. attorney as the Attorney General of the United States always does. It's just that he would replace Rosenstein. Rosenstein isn't stopping the investigation. Presumably neither would [Sessions], but he'd be the one in charge. There's no reason why he should be recused from the New York investigation, unless the New York investigation is really just an extension of Mueller's investigation, in which case that raises other problems."
My thoughts are that Trump and the "Drain the swampers" approached both sides with a ultimatum; "Get out now and let someone else run in your place through the primary process, or get the primary nomination and you will be personally torched in the General"...marble rye said:Rapier108 said:

Well if Cohen was being surveilled in July 2016 it was likely being done by the Brits at Obama's request. Maybe Cohen was the subject of the attempts to get FISA warrants that were rejected in June or July 2016, reportedly.RoscoePColtrane said:
It's been reported from several sources that they were surveilling Cohen beginning back in july 2016, what likely began on a two hop from Page may have well evolved into what you describe.
Quote:
"Due to the possible involvement of Deputy AG Rosenstein in signing an app for continued surveillance on Carter Page, Rosenstein should be recused from any examination of FISA abuse. Neither U.S. Attorney Huber nor a special counsel (if appointed) should report to Rosenstein."
