Here's that story...

It woulda got him fired from any other admnistration. Not this one.

These folks are woefully ignorant of the laws that govern governance.

I doubt the Justice Department will be able to give him a pass on this. Recent changes to the Act call for firing the offender. The victim can file a complaint with the FBI.

Trump should be careful about going after The Freedom Caucus. That's 32 votes in The House. They could introduce a bill to impeach him and with the Democrats they would have 225 votes to impeach and 202 main-stream Republican votes against. (But who knows how many Trump-haters would go along with it?)

If he attacks them seriously, they could decide he is just damaging the Republican brand too much and go with Pence. Pence would be a much more reliable conservative choice and actually has some government experience.

Of course The Senate has to convict him with a 2/3 majority but if the case presented in The House was overwhelming they would seem like traitors if they didn't. This could be the beginning of the end for Trump.

Which is why I am praying that he DOES go after the Freedom Caucus aka The Birchers aka The Tea Party.

I am also praying that Pence gets sucked up into the corruption vacuum and is forced to pull a Spiro Agnew BEFORE Trump's impending impeachment extravaganza.

No matter how the Repubs try to spin this hot mess, it will have damaged them so badly that no one will want to be within smelling distance of anything they say or do.
And they OWN all of it right now, the governing trifecta.
It's their tar baby.

White House Excludes Bar Association From Vetting Judges

Quote
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has sent the American Bar Association into exile, ending the group’s semiofficial role in evaluating candidates for the federal bench.

So I guess we can expect Judge Ivanka soon?

I'm guessing Jared Kushner is traveling to foreign countries on our dime, without press because he is about his father-in-law's business. He's the advance man.

Young Jared Kushner...rich kid with no government experience...Secretary of Everything Trump hopes to accomplish.

And Donald Trump does this with the same nonchalance another man might call his son in law about helping to move some furniture.
