As long as FBI calls this an active investigation they call the shots on who knows what. I mean Schiff may know that but he probably doesnt, least not officially.
Why would he be? Aren't they completely independent investigations?
I might have missed it, can I have receipts? Not seeing chatter where I browse.

Never, ever underestimate the power of right-wing hate media, and its ability to make sure, no matter what, those yokels vote (R), because (D)s are demons. Literal demons.
You can't fight that. We're fucked.

Nunes is talking to Wolf right now on CNN.
@JohnJHarwood
Nunes to CNN: "if I wanted to, I could have snuck onto WH grounds at night when nobody would have seen me"
It's going well!

Oh, the epic motorboating that would go on while in route to vote.
I don't think Osoff would appreciate that.
Edit: that's not Osoff. Either way dude will not like you motorboating him.

This'll fool the FBI, no question!
Devin, what the fuck are you even doing man?
So if I take your statement literally, you're now saying the Secret Service suck and that the Whitehouse is physically insecure?
What the fuck is Nunes even talking about at this point.

I have no idea what you look like, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Alyssa Milano would not want you to motorboat her.
... Does he actually want to be removed?
Is this some kind of inside baseball? There's no way someone can be this stupid. Accidentally.

"After much consideration I believe Chairman should recuse himself from involvement in investigation/oversight of Trump campaign & transition"
Schiff saying Nunes needs to recuse himself.

Schiff saying Nunes needs to recuse himself.
Like, I literally don't know what or why Nunes is saying these things. It might be an attempt to muddy the waters but someone has to have told him that he's terrible at it.
Its like that Carter Page (?) interview on cable news. I dunno what compelled him to go on live TV but he gave the guiltiest response to a simple question that I've ever seen.

Sadly, this will only be viewed as partisan bickering and will undoubtedly be ignored.
If there is indeed any foul play, an outside organization needs to step forward and make a statement to this effect (Comey... You owe us).
Go Schiff. He needs to step away.

Schiff has been doing work on this thing. Every single GOP Rep, Senator, or WH official should have Dems breathing down their necks like Schiff's been doing to Nunes.

PUNISHED NUNES, A MAN DENIED BY HIS PRESIDENT

It's more about Democratic and independent turnout than it is Republican turnout. If Democrats are fired up like they were in 2006 and 2008, and if they are able to court a significant amount of independent and non-voters to their side, then defending these states for the Senate should be realistic.
Republicans and right-wing media outlets have been portraying the Democrats as demons for 25 years. And yet, Democrats continue to win elections.
There are many Republicans who will never vote for a Democrat, ever, but there are many soft Republicans or independents who can be persuaded (or not incentivized to show up to the polls at all) -- and enough Democrats and independents who don't vote regularly that can be turned out -- to sway elections in Democrats' favor. It has been done before again and again.

When was the last time midterms were good for Dems?
The last time a Republican was President during them.
Literally every single time a Republican has been in office since the Civil War outside of 2002
2006
Midterms are almost always better for the party not in the White House, and 2006 was the last time we had a midterm election with a Republican in the White House.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This has to be purposeful.

The ONLY exceptions to the "midterm is better for not-White House party" trend in recent history are 1998 and 2002. 1998 because Republicans overplayed their hand by impeaching Clinton, 2002 because Bush was still riding on 9/11 afterglow.
Even then, those gains were fairly minimal - Clinton's Democrats had a net pickup of 5 seats in the House and 0 in the Senate, while Bush's Republicans did 8 in the House and 2 in the Senate.
Not saying that 2018 can't be another exception for whatever reason, but acting like it's some foregone conclusion that we're screwed is dumb. Liberals are energized and swing voters hate Trump. The Senate map sucks and we might still not win the House due to gerrymandering, but we stand a pretty good chance at gaining House seats if nothing else, and the five Romney state Senate Democrats (Manchin, Heitkamp, Donnelly, McCaskill and Tester) were just thrown a huge lifeline.

Nunes: "Yeah but Zoe Quinn was a slut the whole time"

In other news, here in GA-06, it seems like the SuperPACs are trying to tie Ossoff to Pelosi lol.
Hopefully, that doesn't convince anybody lmao.

I feel like I'm the only one warning about how Pelosi's sky high unpopularity will hurt Dems in 2018.
... So you're saying there's a chance??

The Constitution states that if a congressman commits treason and/or a felony, they can be arrested.
