Only that the fact of his recusal was an important element keeping Trump's fingers off Mueller, and the fact that Trump fired him indicates Trump is actively making moves to kneecap it or shut it down. Especially since on every other issue Sessions has been wildly successful at furthering Trump's agenda. The investigation is 2 is just the banal observation that Trump is capricious towards his lackeys when they lose his favor. I am sorry you are so obtuse as to not understand all this, everyone else understands it just fine and can make simple distinctions between different consequences of the same event.

You guys just can't resist ending with lame insults, can you? Just argue with each other, don't punctuate with insults unless you're good at it.

There are also massive legal ramifications to firing the AG vs. the AG resigning, but don’t let that stop complaints analyst Dems. Much like those complaints that WA state has no voting rights restoration when it’s right there on the SoS website. Maybe do some research before lashing out at every last loving thing.

Any news on the overall WA House/Senate results? I know political control hasn't changed, but how much did the margins change between parties? ETA: Ok, so looking at the SoS App and the wiki page, there seems to be two clear Dem pick ups in the Senate (26, 30) and two very close races also going R->D (42, 47). If nothing else, that additional margin should be incredibly helpful. Solkanar512 fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Nov 9, 2018 |

Merkley getting closer to running... https://www.wweek.com/news/2018/11/13/jeff-merkley-seeks-oregon-law-change-to-clear-the-way-for-2020-presidential-bid/ I generally like the guy but I don't understand this. He just doesn't seem like he'd get any traction and all he's going to do is join the ranks of the mockable early drop outs.

I think he does well in the Senate, but he’s not exactly a high profile guy, at the end of the day he’s about as charismatic and exciting as a celery stick. Not that I have a better answer, but it’d be nice to have someone who could fire up a crowd.

https://www.theolympian.com/news/politics-government/article221741230.html#storylink=latest_side The NRA is trying to block the gun control initiative that was passed in Washington. I guess they figured it'd be quicker to block it after it passed through a legal battle than to try to lobby against it during the campaign?

He can keep grifting from jail as long as he still has funds. This hurts him way more.

If it has to be either/or then I'd choose the fines over the jail time, $120,000 can pay for a lot of school supplies.

On the one hand I hate how we needlessly and brutally send so many people to prison. On the other hand if we're going to keep doing it I want to see the pain spread around and see dudes in suits going to prison. EDIT: okay yeah I know jail is not exactly synonymous with prison but I'm sure you all know what I mean
