On Tuesday, top House Republicans launched a pair of investigations. The Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees will jointly investigate the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s handling of classified documents. Meanwhile, the latter committee with the Intelligence committee will jointly probe the sale of a uranium company to a Russian firm when Clinton was secretary of State.

The Washington Post broke the story Tuesday night that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped pay for that now-famous dossier of research on President Trump.

Not unless they coalesce early. If there is just One Guy and he starts to develop a power base and money that gives a lot of cover to RNC types and Members to abandon Trump.

But a split would I think be lethal, because Trump's supporters aren't going to suddenly grow a cerebral cortex. He's got somewhere between 30-40% of the GOP sewed up no matter how badly he f-cks up. The only Valkyrie hope is One Ring To Rule Them All.

Obviously if they do switch horses the Trumpies will sabotage them in the general, maybe even writing in their fuhrer.

He's got 95% of the Republicans sewn up by my estimation.

This is a spot on article about how the handful of Goopers breaking with Chump gets all the press, but 99% of them in Congress are still with him.

Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!

I have an idea for an amendment to Article I of the Constitution:

1. "A legislative bill shall be read in full to the quorum of members present prior to vote."
2. "Congress shall make no rule to waive the full reading of any legislative bill."

As a Libertarian I'm sure Paul hires someone to cut his grass, then hires a lawyer to get out of paying the fee, and then hires a hitman to eliminate the lawyer as a witness. When the trial comes to Privatized Court he pays off the judge to dismiss it and award himself and Paul damages.

Nice table to watch the rats leave the sinking ship. Beltway gossip is there will be more coming up -- they were waiting on tonight to see if there were any portents. About that... :p
