House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) had been planning to call up on the House floor last week a measure from Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) that would have removed him as Speaker of the House if it succeededintending to embarrass Meadowsbut abandoned the plan after his entire leadership structure learned that they did not have the votes to re-elect him as Speaker before the August recess.
[House Majority Leader Kevin] McCarthy was making phone callshe was whipping itand so was [House Majority Whip] Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), a senior conservative movement leader whos had many personal and direct discussions with various House GOP members about this told Breitbart News in an interview last week.
I know members personally who were called by Steve Scalise. So they had the entire leadership whip team frantically making phone calls to members to whip the vote because they wanted to attempt to embarrass Meadows and call the vote [on Wednesday last week] so its not hanging over Boehners head.
What they found out was the exact opposite. They found out bad things would happen, that literally they would be calling the vote without knowing what would happen. Therefore, they did not call the vote and now they have this issue hanging over John Boehners head for the next five weeks.

LOL. Not HTML. It's my coding.
Remember FR doesn't handle HTML the same as "out there" on the 'net.
John made modifications in the way FR handles the code. Like for instance the <marquee> or the <blink> tags will not work nor will <embed> tags along with several others.
IF someone is used to writing HTML for regular web pages he (or she) will have to get used to certain idiosyncrasies of FR coding.
The more elaborate the post, the more care must be taken
That's all

House Speaker John Boehner is under congressional investigation, according to the House Judiciary Committee, after allegedly accepting both direct payment and campaign contributions from the Pfizer corporation for starring in a not-yet-released commercial for the companys newest erectile dysfunction medication.
Congressman and House Judiciary member Scott Peters (D-CA) alleges that Boehner appeared in the commercial in January, and accepted both $95,000 in direct payment and a one-time $40,000 donation to his 2016 reelection campaign. If true, Boehner would have violated House rules prohibiting him from accepting payment or gifts.
The commercial allegedly shows Boehner sitting on a park bench, crying while beautiful women walk past him, while he narrates an inner monologue, saying I wish I could get a Boehner, and show these ladies that Im not a total Boehner. Then, what Peters describes as a magical animated elf appears, promoting Pfizers unidentified new pill, after which a reinvigorated John Boehner is surrounded by women, one of whom says now thats what I call a Boehner!
Judiciary Committee Republicans have been tight-lipped on the commercial, with some speculating that a GOP coup against the Speaker of the House might stem out of the investigation. Peters also says he believes Republicans are on board with the investigation, based on his personal conversations with committee members. (Click To read More)

Great work as always, Fiddlstix. Exposing the corporate cronyism and greed facilitated by corrupt politicians and Boehner is a leader of that group along with McConnell, Reid, Pelosi and many others.
They are much more than just RINOs and Rats. They are very much traitors to our beloved country that sell their souls to the Devil for profit and should go down in history as such.

All of this info is out there for anyone. Believe you me, Drudge knows about all of this.
Some of what I've posted here and in my other recent posts are older stories going back a few years even.
My main idea here is to make a thread with the various posts. To 'centralize' the info where it will be accessable.
Also to keep it in groups as I've tried to do by making a post about his alcoholism and another about his golfing for 'his profit' and etc.
By doing it that way other FReepers can make posts to that thread and thereby increase the total info available to all of us.
Knowing what FR and the FReepers have done in the past such as Dan Rather being busted by FReeper Buckhead hopefully history will repeat.
Anyway, that's the 'plan' for now.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
From your
immigration link!
Illegal immigrants are not "undocumented". They have fraudulent documents such as counterfeit Social Security cards, forged drivers licenses, fake "green cards", and phony birth certificates. Experts suggest that approximately 75 percent of working-age illegal aliens use fraudulent Social Security cards to obtain employment.
If Boehner and other politicians were to acknowledge the commission of serious job-related felonies, including identity theft, by 75 percent of illegal aliens they would either have to deny the vast majority of illegal aliens legal status or they would have to openly acknowledge that illegal aliens are being given amnesty from serious felonies while their victims are left holding the bag and while American citizens and legal residents are being prosecuted for these very same crimes.
Sens. Schumer and Rubio (R-Fla.) understand just how critical it is to keep this inconvenient truth hidden.
* That is why their amnesty bill (S.744) prohibits the release of any information collected by government officials about the use of fraudulent documents and about the identity theft that illegal aliens routinely commit.
!!!!!
*And that is why their amnesty bill imposes a $10,000 fine on any federal employee who would provide this information to law enforcement or to the victims of identity theft.

Yes. IF my posts will get other FReepers looking and doing more searches who knows what may be posted.
Perhaps another 'Buckhead' will find the real 'smoking gun' and it will all come together.
