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.
