The Clinton Investigation - Congressional Investigation

Fox News: Reports " Newly released texts between ex-Mueller team members suggest they knew outcome of Clinton email probe in advance "

Lets Get Real:

The swamp that is Washington D.C could never be trusted when it comes to the Clintons and the Obama Administration.   The Obama Justice Department covered for Obama and HRC,  so it would not be shocked to learn that the Clintons were never under any real threat of being charged due to HRC's email server or the Clinton Foundation.   The Republicans should really go after these scandals, have open hearings, see if the Clinton swamp is hiding anything from the public.

The Nuclear Option - D.C Shutdown - Part 3 - Update 3

Guardian: Reports the following on the nuclear option, " Such a move would allow Republicans to pass legislation without Democratic support, lowering the majority needed to pass a bill to just 51 votes. It is, however, not favoured by the GOP Senate leader, Mitch McConnell.  "

Lets Get Real:

It could be argued from the view of President Trump that Senator McConnell is playing by the OLD RULES, the Democrats in the past broke different rules when it came to appointments by President Obama, thus this is a new day, if you control the Chamber you have to act if you have a massive majority.  The Senate was meant to be different from the House, the Senate terms are six years, thus to allow callow youth to be replaced by working at the job for years.   It depends how long the Democrats are playing games, if it goes on for weeks, then the rules should be changed!

Washington D.C Shutdown Part 2 - Update 2

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Trump tweeted at 7.35am Sunday: 'Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!'  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS is very peeved that he could not go to his Florida home to celebrate his taking of power in 2016.   Those Republicans in the US Congress should recall that one day they will be in the opposition, they should not go for the nuclear option, of not needing 60 Votes, it would remove the one thing that the opposition can do to get a hearing.   The Democrats on the other hand should not overplay their hand, the Republicans will be getting pushed by their base and the OVAL to only need to get a majority vote to push laws forward.   It will be interesting to see who blinks, can the Republicans remain united, interesting hours and days ahead!!

The Senate Shutdown - Update

BBC News: Reports " The US Senate is due back in session to try to end a budget impasse before the start of the working week when the shutdown of many federal services will be felt around the country.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans must be united, they must blame the US Government shutdown on Senator Schumer, the Democratic leader of the Senate.  The Oval and Congressional Republicans must make it clear that they are giving what the Democrats want in the CR, but the will not be blackmailed over DACA and other illegal immigrants in the US.  The Democrats are demanding that the Republicans give them a vote over DACA and that it is a positive result.   POTUS has suggested through twitter that the Republicans change the rules of the Senate as to allow the CR to go through on 51 votes.   That is called the nuclear option, it could work but the Republicans will be the opposition one day, do they want to remove the few things a opposition can do,  block laws they do no like. 

US Government Shutdown Part 3 - Trump Era

CNN - Live Reporting: Reports the following in a recent post, " All sides — Senate and House; Democrats and Republicans — believe we're heading toward a shutdown at the moment. Barring some dramatic change in the dynamic in the next 12 hours or so, the government will shut down late tonight. "

Lets Get Real:

Whatever the liberal press throw up, welfare cheques not being sent, Government offices closed down, thus delay in getting a passport, National Parks closed, etc, the Trump Oval and the Republicans have to be firm, they can not be blackmailed, because if the Republicans go weak and grant concessions to the Democrats they will be blackmailed again over something else.  The Republicans have to have a firm and united message, the Democrats care more for illegal Democrats that legal Americans, also the Dems are party of different interest groups, thus can not be trusted to Govern.

The US Government Shutdown Part 2 - Trump Era

Fox News: Reports " President Trump warned early Friday there could be a “shutdown coming” if Senate Democrats block the vote to pass the short-term spending bill that would keep the government funded. "

Lets Get Real:

The President should use his infamous Twitter account to make sure that the Democrats take the blame for the Government shutdown, the liberal New York Times and the extreme liberal CNN will of course blame the Trump Oval, the Republicans have to keep their nerve, make it clear every hour and day that the US Government is closed that it is down to the Democrats.   The Trump Oval has to argue that the closed down US Government is a benefit to the rogue nations, who might try something while the Government is closed.  The Democrats might lose the PR WAR.

The US Government Shut Down - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " The House of Representatives has passed a bill to fund government operations until 16 February - the first move in efforts to avert a government shutdown.  "

Lets Get Real:

The last US Government shutdown was in 2013 under Barack Obama, the Republicans NOW control both the Congress and the White House, they must make sure that any blame for the shutdown lands on the doormat of the Democrats.   The liberal left in the Democratic Party is pushing for the Democrats to shutdown the Government if they do not get a deal on DACA.   The Republicans should allow the Government to close, they should state that they will not be blackmailed by the liberal left.  In the message battle the Trump Oval should use its Twitter feed to dig and dig at the Democrats on the HILL.   The Democrats should be careful that they do not overplay their hand.
