Congressional Republicans have locked up their healthcare - maybe repeal and release or maybe repeal - somewhere in Capital Hill's basement. Even Rand Paul has been able to see it. Of course, Paul wants to simply repeal separately and vote on replacement on the same day, even though they don't agree on replacement. Nancy Pelosi says the secret bill hasn't been scored, ie., assessed for its budgetary impact. Paul fears the secret bill will be presented as take it or leave it.
Russian contacts have extended to the Attorney General - more on that later - and now include Donald Trump Jr's trip to Russia and meetings with Jared Kushner. Leaks are the way these facts some to light and the Trump administration calls leaks fake news and the news media "the enemy of the American people". Wilbur Ross, Commerce Secretary, owns half the Cypress Bank that launders Russian oligarks money. What more do you need to say? And there is always the Trump comments all over the map on whether he has or has not had connections to Russia. I get a feeling like roaches infecting our federal government.
Trump says the military spending increase is really a jobs program. Gosh. Didn't Hitler do that? Why not solar energy, improved infrastructure and other ecological related improvements?
Now Jeff Sessions has wisely recused himself on issues "during the campaign". Smart move. He tries to cut off the problems - his lying under oath and whatever has gone on regarding Russia after the election. Slick. He ahs not begun to take appropriate action for what we already know.
Just where is James Comey, FBI Director? Intelligence Committee says Comey is refusing to give them answers to their questions. Comey pursues criminal actions, Congress explores the safety of the country.
This spiral is terrifying. Impeachment cannot come soon enough
