the GOP seems not that keen on investing too much to die on a hill for Trump to obstruct justice. There will be more who demand Nunes to step down or recuse.
Definitely agreed on this sentiment and I think this will just snowball in the future. Certainly after the defeat of their “death panels” bill, Rump has very few allies in Congress.
Hmmm, does this mean I should consider rooting for UNC in the Final Four? I was kind of going for Gonzaga just for the hell of it since my team is out.
Is there a fulll moon this week?
You know…that just isn’t going to hold. No way.
unrelated to article, on another thread yesterday someone mentioned the pending debt limit ceiling vote
I said, hey let the Dems hold out for some concessions for their votes, as you know the freedumb caucus won’t be on board for voting for raising the debt ceiling.
Hold out for Merrick on the Supreme Court
Hold out for a public option
Hold out for (fill in the blank)
Repubes provided the model for extracting what you want from the executive branch in the sequester, so anti-sequester the turds into giving the Dems what they want, don’t even have to make noise about it, don’t have to threaten to shut down the government or anything, just tell 'em " you want my vote? well I want this…"
… a special committee to investigate ties to Russia.
What next?
Sign on with Breitbart and claim a news reporter’s privilege?
Send away to the Universal Life Church and claim a priest-penitent privilege?
Fake suicide and claim a “dead-men-tell-no-tales” privilege?
He is really running out of moves.
On Tuesday, the North Carolina Republican re-upped his call for an
independent commission, telling the Hill it’s “the only way you can
bring integrity to the process.”
Republican integrity. Is that a joke?
I’m digging #3.
No, it’s a new moon, the new moon is today. New beginnings.
Forgive me, but I’m a little skeptical but they been getting away with it for 8 years and I don’t see a spine in none of them (repubs.). Sen. Burr and Sen. Warren are giving a joint press conf. tomorrow @ 2:30pm on update on Russia https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/846789929690677251
He probably said what he (Rep. Walter Jones) said because he felt safe (all hearings cancel and Ryan already said no to Nunes recuse). What does he have to lose?
Sounds like he may be taking the Fifth before his own committee soon.
I keep hearing that this Russian thing goes pretty far into the RNC leadership in terms of coordinating the release of stolen emails
somebody wants to martyr themselves and go to jail for contempt. Be the new Chuck Colson (know the parallel isn’t perfect, but still).
As my moniker indicates…NO WAY!!! 
Yeah, you’re right, more fun to stick with the Zags…
Nunes is looking more and more like a target of the investigation than an investigator.
I think we’re still pretty far from raging torrent territory, but we’ve definitely moved from drip to strong trickle.
Sort of like the end stage of syphilis.
