Bernie Said No To Super Pacs And Yes to Dark Money
Bernie Sanders says he doesn’t want a super PAC. Instead, he has Our Revolution, a nonprofit political organization he founded that functions much the same as one.
Like a super PAC, which is shorthand for super political action committee, Our Revolution can raise unlimited sums from wealthy patrons that dwarf the limits faced by candidates and conventional PACs. Unlike a super PAC, however, the group doesn’t have to disclose its donors — a stream of revenue commonly referred to as “dark money.”


Okay, GOP, if you want to follow the rules of the Clinton Impeachment trial, hire an overzealous independent prosecutor to investigate Trump's real estate deals and sexual liaisons and bring it all before a grand jury.
By the time he's done, Clinton will look like a choir boy. - Leslie tweet

McConnell has the votes to block Democrats' witness demands in Trump impeachment trial

McConnell has the votes to block Democrats' witness demands in Trump impeachment trial
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has the votes to quash Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer’s (N.Y.) demands to require additional witnesses testify at the start of President Trump’s impeachment trial.
Two key moderate senators, Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), on Monday evening backed McConnell’s position...


A trial has witnesses, a coverup doesn't.

 Just asked Mitt Romney if he has any concerns with McConnell coordinating with the WH on trial, and Romney said: “I’m sure the leader will provide impartial justice.” - Manu Raju, CNN

How Does One Mistakenly Send A Letter to Iraq?
The Pentagon on Monday disputed that U.S. troops are preparing to withdraw from Iraq — after a leaked letter from a U.S. general suggested plans are underway to prepare troops to leave following the Iraqi Parliament's Sunday vote calling for their removal.


I realize that letters go out with typos sometimes and people make mistakes, but how do you mistakenly send a message to a foreign government that says we're pulling 5,200 troops out of your country? That is not believable. - Tommy Vietor

Is This A Foot Shooting In Progress?
Former Rep. Chris Collins closed out his political career in late December by repaying himself $146,393.71 in leftover campaign funds – without reimbursing his donors for the $15,400 they gave to his campaign committee early last year when he said he was innocent of insider trading charges...Campaign finance experts said Collins' move is legal, but some question its wisdom – especially given that Collins is scheduled to face a federal judge in New York next week who will sentence him after his guilty plea to charges stemming from that insider trading case.

Michael Flynn Shoots Self in Foot
Federal prosecutors reversed course Tuesday and recommended President Donald Trump’s onetime national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, serve up to six months in prison for lying to the FBI.
The federal prosecutors, who had initially recommended Flynn be spared jail time, said in a newly filed sentencing memo that they have re-evaluated, citing “his apparent failure to accept responsibility, [and] his failure to complete his cooperation."

Trump Ordered the Assassination of Iranian General

Uproar and consequences mount for Trump after Soleimani killing
The Trump administration is already in danger of losing control of the swift chain reaction and political storm unleashed by its killing of Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani.
President Donald Trump's claim that the drone strike last week made Americans safer is being challenged by cascading events that appear to leave the US more vulnerable and isolated.


All General Soleimani had to do was announce an investigation into the Bidens and he’d still be alive. - Spiro Agnew's Ghost tweet

Twitter Needs To Ban Trump To Save the USA
The House Foreign Affairs Committee slammed President Trump on Sunday after Trump appeared to write that his tweets served as sufficient notification to Congress in the event of a potential military strike against Iran.
