Linda is “Protecting” Trump by foot-dragging on Zero until the time is right, allowing our master showman in chief to build up the fight. (For the literal minded, think of POTUS as “DON KING.”)

This isn’t particularly on point, but I’ve been wondering about the removal of Senator Grassley as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee two years ago, and his recent request to move from Finance Chair back to Judiciary Chair.

I’m aware that each Senator (maybe only R’s?) is limited to 6 years on each Committee. Does anyone think that his removal two years ago was to ‘save’ his last two years of eligibility for a time when they believe they can use him best? And if so, it sounds like they’re anticipating some very meaningful activity in the Judiciary Committee when the next Congress begins.

it wasn’t a recent request - there was a rule that REPs adopted akin to term limits and Grassley could no longer be chairman ... so they switched and then agreed that once past, they’d switch back. However that might still fit into the plan I’ve not further considered except I’m still unsure of Graham’s role here given his prior dedication to no name and the strange interchange + embrace with Huma at the funeral. TBD + WWG1WGA :)

Very good observation. Linda Lou! (That’s how we say LittleLinda here in the south)...

Grassley has been very effective in that spot. Perhaps the queen is protecting him for future work.

Could be. Good point, Linda.
