I get that they have seats to run for; Nunes is only “temporary,” no control over the committee was lost (I’m not sold on Gowdy, who talks a great investigative game, but doesn’t put anyone in jail); Senate just pulled the nuke trigger and now may be able to confirm ALL Trump judges.
The Rice investigation, not Nunes, is now back on the front burner. Sounds like winning to me.
The whole blow up about Sessions’ recusal MAY be 100% wrong if in fact he did it because he would can be a WITNESS if he is recused, but not otherwise. Few, if any, here (nor Greenfield) know the law as well as Sessions.
I think it would have been perfectly reasonable, after a suitable period of time, say, 18 months, for Trump to start looking to expand his support by beginning to work with Rats. Just for a little while prior to the next election to try to shave a few points off the Rat nominee. I also thought (and posted) that if Trump wants to succeed he is going to have to go to war with the Rats like Schumer and Waters and take scalps. I still think so but it appears that he just decided to go left early. Sure, everyone knows he could and would forget his base until the next election but to forget his base so soon is a little disappointing.
