This is going to be particularly gutting for @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy, who is very, very close to hurd

a quick story on this ...
@GOPLeader I was traveling w McCarthy right before the election last yr when i was reporting my book, and we were in Texas for a particularly brutal and busy stretch.

In one day, McCarthy was in Houston, Austin and San Antonio.

SAT was last stop: a dinner reception w Lamar Smith and Hurd
at the dinner — in a stuffy SAT social club — Hurd came up to McCarthy and said hey , if you aren’t too tired, can you come to see my sister at a bowling league she’s in downtown?

mind you, this was in the middle of a non-stop stretch 18 hours into McCarthy’s day.
McCarthy said yes. it was pretty late in the evening. immediately, Capitol Police scrambled to get to the venue. everyone with McCarthy knew that he liked Hurd so much that he would do anything for him.
Looking back on my notes — most of this didnt make it into the book — McCarthy frequently spoke about Hurd.

At a fundraiser in El Paso days before the 2018 election: "Will Hurd is always challenged, but he sets himself apart."

Quite the scene on the house floor as Democrats await a ruling on whether @SpeakerPelosi’s speech about trump was improper

On the floor: swalwell, nadler, Raskin, butterfield.

On the gop side, @GOPLeader McCarthy has just arrived.
The delay is dragging on, which will force the vote to condemn the president later into the evening.
Much of the consternation among Democrats on the floor seems to be that there is a rule that prevents calling someone a racist. Lots of chatter between the parliamentarians office and Dems about this.

A few quick observations about the situation our government finds itself in. This isn’t as simple as the president getting in the room and cutting a deal. That’s west wing tv stuff, at the moment. Both sides are dug in and think they’re right
PLUS — A DACA deal right now would *blow up* the House, where 20-something ppl could over throw the speaker.
At this moment, this is not a simple knot to untie. Rs are telling us that they won’t do a daca deal or budget deal until government reopens. And they’re backed up by Freedom Caucus, which controls 20-30 votes in the House.

Hard to overstate: trump is taking up almost every issue that splits republicans. Immigration. Massive spending increases. earmarks. Many conservatives think it’s corrupt. Some think it’s a constitutional prerogative. Yowza.
Trump, in many ways, is leading republican leadership down a really, really treacherous path.
What perhaps the White House doesn’t understand: many conservatives in the House will vote against DACA unless it comes *months* after security measures. What an odd disconnect.

Thread: Jeffrey Epstein, his black book and the Pedo Elite.
1.
 As many of you know, Epsteins infamous black book was acquired by the FBI back in 2009, when his butler, Alfredo Rodriguez, tried to sell it back in 2009. #QAnon
2.
Up until a few days ago, a redacted version, (that was missing some pages) was available on document cloud. But, right before his recent arrest, it was wiped clean. Luckily, I had a copy, with all of the pages tucked away. #QAnon
3.
 For those who are unfamiliar, I am going to do a recap of the original case. Then I will drop a few bombs. #QAnon

1) This is a useful reminder to those of us who are more than TIRED of WAITING.

There will be NO ARRESTS before the #ELECTION (11/6/2018), at least from Jeff Sessions/DOJ. There CANNOT BE ARRESTS, prosecutions, or unsealed..
#ANON #Qanon #GreatAwakening #DrainingTheSwamp
2) indictments right before the #ELECTION by DOJ or its constituent parts.

The Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 7321-26) would prohibit the timing of arrests to affect an election.

Specifically, 5 U.S.C. § 7323(a)(1) holds that “[A]n employee may not use his...
3) official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election.”

There would be no doubt that, say, arresting Crooked Hillary this week or next week would be the use of official authority to affect the result of an election. ..

[Wątek] 1/ na szpagat @prezydentpl trzeba spojrzeć w szerszym kontekście. Prezydent zaniechał dwóch fundamentalnych czynności wprost przyznanych mu w jego ustawie o SN #SN
2/ pierwsza - prezydent powinien wydać postanowienie (art. 142 ust. 2 Konstytucji) stwierdzając przejście w stan spoczynku 10 sędziów. Tymczasem prezydent wysłał listy, w których pisze, że przeszli w stan spoczynku. List nie ma żadnego znaczenia, nie kreuje stanu prawnego.
3/ co ciekawe, listy wysłał również do tych sędziów, którzy powołali się na Konstytucję, wyrażając wolę dalszego urzędowania i nie dołączając zaświadczeń lekarskich. Co ciekawe, takiego listu nie wysłał do PSN Iwulskiego. Ten również stwierdził, że nie dołączy zaśw. lekarskiego.
