Apparently Sessions already says they can’t give out information that will compromise ongoing investigations. More diversions? I think both Nunes and Sessions are good guys, so I don’t know. I’m getting tired of promises of things coming out in weeks, then postponed another month.
The New York Times has given John McCain (R-AZ) quite the sendoff - detailing a trip made by Joe Biden and his wife Jill to the dying senator’s Arizona ranch last Sunday where the former Vice President “wanted to let him know how much I love him and how much he matters to me and how much I admire his integrity and his courage.”
The NYT’s longtime op-ed writer Frank Bruni, meanwhile, lauds McCain and trashes Trump in an article entitled Battling Donald Trump With His Dying Breaths.
Some highlights from the New York Times coverage:
McCain is suffering “debilitating side effects” from aggressive cancer treatment as he spends his final days in Arizona
He has few regrets - though one is that he chose Sarah Palin as his 2008 running mate instead of tapping Democrat-turned-independent Joe Lieberman.
McCain doesn’t want Trump at his funeral - instead insisting that Vice President Mike Pence attend the service in Washington’s National Cathedral.
McCain’s associates have been quietly spreading the word that they want a “McCain person” to eventually fill his Senate seat - “a roster that includes his wife, Cindy.”
Other choice words for the sitting President include:
“Trump is never to blame and quick to malign onetime allies who have grown inconvenient.”
“Trump demands instant gratification.”
“Trump invites pity for all the slights he suffers plus plenty that he only imagines, and he readily boasts about achievements actual and hallucinated.”
“Such grace is unimaginable from Trump. That’s why it’s so vital that McCain is using his waning time to model it.”
You and me both, the longer they delay, it makes me wonder what backroom deals are being made, just my skepticism of anything government leaking out.
McPain would not EVEN have had the votes he got in the ‘08 race if it wasn’t for Palin.
I haven’t voted for him in years, dating back to the Keating 5 debacle, voted for Palin and avoided looking at his name.
Let’s see if she continues to stick by him now, I’ve NEVER heard her say a disparaging word against McPain.
Lieberman has gone to visit with him too but that didn’t stop old Joe from agreeing full throated with Trump on the Iran deal, good one for Joe. Joe was on FNC this morning.
McPain is delusional if he thinks he can hand pick his successor, remember he was sanctioned by the AZ GOP for IIRC always siding with the dims and causing so much trouble for Bush ect.
Probably would have done it again after his leaving the party to cast his horrendous vote on Obummercare but he’s sick, don’t ya know, but there sure were a lot of rumblings.
McPain is NOT that popular in AZ but has a powerful political machine much like the Clintoons had.
Ditto all that!
Dead thread? Last comment Before 2 pam. Sigh
Problems here. New thread tomorrow. Obviously not an issue

My highly respected nominee for CIA Director, Gina Haspel, has come under fire because she was too tough on Terrorists. Think of that, in these very dangerous times, we have the most qualified person, a woman, who Democrats want OUT because she is too tough on terror. Win Gina! __________________________________________________________ Donald J. Trump Verified account

To the great people of West Virginia we have, together, a really great chance to keep making a big difference. Problem is, Don Blankenship, currently running for Senate, can’t win the General Election in your State...No way! Remember Alabama. Vote Rep. Jenkins or A.G. Morrisey!
Good morning, Gran. You are welcome.
Crazy, isn't it? Too tough on terrorists.
Hi all. NEW Thread up late morning. Early afternoon. Sorry for delay. Life

The Russia Witch Hunt is rapidly losing credibility. House Intelligence Committee found No Collusion, Coordination or anything else with Russia. So now the Probe says OK, what else is there? How about Obstruction for a made up, phony crime.There is no O, it’s called Fighting Back
