If you repeal the individual mandate, Alexander-Murray becomes both meaningless and impossible to pass. Everyone knows that. Ugh.

Think she’s been bought. @littlegirlblue posted this (below) the other day. This is most likely about it.

His voice is kind of high and tinny – a strange listening experience. I can see why he’s avoided speaking on the airwaves.

The gist of this WSJ article is: Kushner is in the fucking barrel.
The article indicates the following areas of focus:
-
Logan Act - Mueller is looking at whether Kushner undermined the US government by stepping in as a de facto representative of an incoming government. He was influencing controversial matters before the US government (UN resolutions on Israel and US sanctions on Russia) and did not coordinate, cooperate or defer to the Obama government, which was the only legitimate gov’t of the US at the time. I would also add that discussions about sanctions would tie all the way back to March/April 2016 and would be evidence of the conspiracy to violate election laws.
-
Obstruction of Justice - Mueller seems to be pushing all witnesses to come clean on what Kushner thought of Comey and the matter of his firing. I suspect he’s also asking the same questions regarding Trump’s attempt to strong arm Comey to end the Flynn investigation. Recall that Kushner was in at least one of those meetings where Trump asked Comey to stay and then talked Flynn. Sessions may be a source for Mueller’s questions on the OOJ tracks.
-
Meeting w/Sergey Gorkov of Vnesheconombank & Amb Kislyak - Mueller is examining what happened in that meeting. There are two issues here: Kushner had a quid pro quo, seeking loans/financing (bribes) in exchange for policy changes (sanctions). Also, there is the matter of the back channel through the Russian embassy. This could raise Logan act issues, but also I suspect that there is a potential issue of mishandling of classified information and in the worst case scenario, espionage. If the Russians wanted a secret back channel with the Trumpers, it seems reasonable that they might also ask them for classified info. We know when Kislyak and Lavrov visited the Oval Office in May, Trump happily handed them sensitive information that would’ve been a crime if given by any other government official (other than the President). It doesn’t feel like it was the first time that happened.
-
Omissions on SF 86 Forms - These omissions have been the hooks for Mueller to get into Kushner, and Mueller may be finding evidence to conclude that the omissions were not benign, and in fact were intentionally left off so that people wouldn’t find a paper trail of improper contacts with the Russians that pre-dated the inauguration.

The Vanity Fair article on Flynn had equally eye-opening statements. In addition to the Turkey leg of this investigation (Reza Zarrab, Fethullah Gulen), which I think will reveal Trump had a much larger role than previously understood, there is the matter of Peter Smith. That article stated that Mueller is looking at Peter Smith’s death. But it mentioned that in the context of investigating Flynn. Though not directly stating a connection, that odd juxtaposition suggested to me that Mueller has found a lot of evidence to confirm that Smith did, in fact, communicate with Flynn and Flynn Jr about the search for dirt on HRC through working with Russian hackers. It also may mean that Mueller is investigating that death to rule out foul play, and specifically, to determine whether or not he can rule out if the Flynns were involved in Smith’s death. After all, when Flynn was a-ok with an illegal kidnapping, is it really a stretch to think he might be ready to tie up some loose ends like Peter Smith?
Mueller is after both of these guys.

Go get him. For that alone is worth the wait.
Dotard and Kushtard can be a combo platter, along with Melanoma and Ivankastain.

Link? As of yesterday she was still dithering with this
But Murkowski realizes that if she votes against the tax bill, she’d be voting against opening up ANWR – “which would not be something that I would want.”
Keep this in mind. Flake(y) and Liddle Corker are two of the five leaning votes, along with Collins, McCain, and Murk. If only one defects, and Ron Johnson keeps to his NO vote, it fails.

Lately I’ve come to think of Melanoma as an animatronic device, she moves like a human, turns her head, utters a word occasionally, but is mostly programmed to receive and not emit signals showing signs of life.

Posted a few posts below the one you replied to… (and yes she kind of kept flipping and flopping before she wrote that op-ed. I personally don’t count on Johnson).
Sometimes I’m stopped dead in my tracks when I realize that he’s achieving much of what he promised the rubes at campaign rallies without legislation. Keeping immigrants out is the latest of the under cover of darkness moves. Getting rid of net neutrality is another, and a rigged census in 2020.
