Drip-drip.

 All this brouhaha about Jeff Sessions and the rest of the trump team playing let's make a deal with the Russians, and it might not amount to much.

This is because the republicans in congress will do their best to make sure that it doesn't. They have been blocking efforts to investigate at every turn.

I suppose that's how Washington works: Yes, he is a crook, but he is our crook.

What a difference an administration makes. Just imagine if the shoes were on the other foot. If you think the cries of Benghazi were bad, just remember that the cries of Moscow would be ten times worse. 

As for trump's taxes, we might as well forget that as well. It looks like we will never see the taxes of our charlatan in chief. This is because house republicans just voted to make sure that we, the public, never see them.

The president must really love his fellow republicans right about now. They have gotten his back and they have tried to shield him from himself and the law. 

"House Republicans voted en masse to block a resolution that would have forced Trump to turn his tax returns over to Congress on Monday night.

 

The measure was introduced by Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), a member of the House Ways and Means Committee. Under a 1924 law, the Ways and Means Committee is empowered to examine tax returns. The committee could then decide to release them to the full Congress, effectively making them public.

 

Trump has broken with decades of precedent and refused to release his tax returns, citing an ongoing audit.

 

Pascrell first brought his request to the Chairman of the Way and Mean Committee, Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX). Brady rejected the request, citing concern for Trump’s “civil liberties.”

Pascrell was able to bring the issue to a full vote on the floor through a vehicle known as a “privileged d resolution.”'

 

Protect what's in the swamp at all cost.
