Rumor is something big happens today (the 27th)

Unsubstantiated posts by someone claiming to be a WH anon.

All this stuff with Jeff Sessions might be a staged build up to something.

The Awan arrest happened. Things seem to be pointing that the 27th might be a real date.

Should be an interesting day today.

What will you wager that something/nothing happens today? The latter bet is mine.

I will make a thread titled "Trump is a fraud" on Saturday afternoon if nothing big happens between now and then.

You make a thread titled "Trump is not a fraud" on Saturday afternoon if something big does happen between now and then.

Then we can all have a laugh either way.

You probably have the better end of this bet.

Today is the 26th.

Oops

27th is the rumored date.

But it was predicted months ago, so we're right in the time period this week.

I was thinking something along the lines of metal. :)

Judiciary Republicans Hijack Markup on Sessions’ Recusal and Comey Firing Resolution to Focus on Clinton Emails

Jul 26, 2017

Republicans Block Attempt at Meaningful Oversight with Far-Right Conspiracy Theories





Watch Here (https://www.facebook.com/HouseJudDems/posts/2011306915759506)
Washington, D.C. - Today, the House Judiciary Committee was scheduled to consider H. Res. 446, a resolution of inquiry (https://jayapal.house.gov/sites/jayapal.house.gov/files/JAYAPA_023_xml%20%28002%29.pdf) introduced by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI). The resolution sought information from the White House and the Department of Justice related to the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the removal of former FBI Director James Comey, and any recordings the White House may have made of conversations between Director Comey and President Trump.

Rather than debate the underlying resolution, Judiciary Republicans adopted an amendment offered by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) - that completely struck the content of the bill and substituted a request for information on a wide range of right-wing conspiracy theories about Cheryl Mills and Hillary Clinton.

Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr., issued the following statement:
“The Majority has shown itself to be in complete lockstep with President Trump. Rather than talk about a crisis at the Department of Justice, our colleagues would rather re-litigate the 2016 election and question the credibility of a long list of public servants who no longer work for the government.

“There is simply no excuse for our Committee’s failure to hold a single oversight hearing on these matters. Their attempt to hide behind stale conspiracy theories is both tone deaf and counterproductive. It makes the Majority complicit in the actions of President Trump and his associates.

“I am disappointed that the Republicans denied us an opportunity to debate our resolution, but we will not be deterred. Whether the crisis comes to the Committee or the Committee comes to the crisis, we will conduct oversight of the Trump Administration.”

BACKGROUND: A resolution of inquiry is a legislative tool that has privileged parliamentary status, meaning it can be brought to the floor if the relevant committee hasn’t reported it within 14 legislative days, even if the Majority leadership has not scheduled it for a vote.

House Judiciary Committee Democrats have long been calling for House Judiciary Republicans to conduct oversight of the Trump Administration. Democrats have written to Chairman Goodlatte four times (https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/press-releases/after-trump-attacks-doj-all-17-judiciary-democrats-demand-immediate-hearings) to request hearings on Russian interference with the 2016 election, potential collusion with Russia, the firing of James Comey and Attorney General Sessions’ recusal. Democrats have also sent several letters to Speaker Paul Ryan (https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/press-releases/top-house-democrats-press-speaker-ryan-obtaindocuments-president-elect-s), the Department of Justice and the White House requesting related information.

Despite Judiciary Republicans’ attempts to block Democratic efforts, resolutions of inquiry should be the proper next step in the Committee’s oversight of the Trump Administration. House Judiciary Republicans have so far blocked four Democratic resolutions from reaching the House floor: Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s (D-NY) resolution of inquiry (https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/press-releases/house-judiciary-gop-vote-kill-trump-conflicts-russia-ties-resolution); Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Ted Lieu’s (D-CA) resolution of inquiry (https://democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/press-releases/house-judiciary-gop-skip-out-trumprussia-resolution-debate-vote-kill-two-dem); and Rep. Mike Quigley’s (D-IL) resolution of inquiry (https://quigley.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/quigley-introduces-resolution-requesting-wiretapping-evidence-trump).

Congress just sent a letter to DOJ asking for a second special counsel to be appointed focused on Loretta Lynch and the Clintons.

I would say based on the above that nothing big happened on the 27th. But there is a few hours left in a few timezones...

So the judiciary committee recommends Jeff Sessions to appoint a special counsel on the Clintons, which Trump has been complaining for Sessions to do for a week (obviously preplanned), but nothing is happening?

Yes, nothing happened. Not a fucking thing will come from this, as usual.

Jeff Sessions is Part of the Problem.

I don't see anything breaking currently. Is the dude talking about Hawaii afternoon? I thought Sessions had a big speech for Friday already planned?
