Indeed, on Tuesday morning #JimComer was planning to hold a “deposition” at the time that #Clinton had been summoned, with a chair left empty to illustrate his absence, & move quickly to hold the couple in #contempt should he fail to show up.

I wonder how many of those employees, migrants, business owners, farmers , whose businesses and lives were upended by that man's performance politics, will sue the Administration?
I hope all of them.
#Trump has told advisers that he wants to announce the agreement in his address to #Congress Tuesday evening, 3 of the sources said, cautioning that the deal had yet to be signed & the situation could change.

#Trump’s #immigration crackdown plays into misperceptions
When the first migrant detainees arrived at the US naval base in #Guantánamo Bay on #military planes, the Trump admin described them as hardened #criminals.

#Trump said he’ll stop Diversity, Equity & Inclusion efforts “all across the government”
Trump said he will repeal #Biden’s executive actions “within hours” of taking office.
Trump aides are considering putting a desk on the #inauguration stage tomorrow for him to start signing executive orders there.
The Sunday night #Trump rally was his first such event in the city since the address at the Ellipse shortly before his supporters attacked the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021.
Trump promised everyone in the arena that they’ll be “very happy” tomorrow when they hear his decision on the Jan. 6 “hostages” who stormed the Capitol.

Every time a government official (Eg the AG’s like TX, MO, FL, etc) sue any other govt entity or agency, they are spending taxpayer $$ TWICE.
It is especially hypocritical when they do so in opposition to the voices of the people & just #PerformancePolitics
#DoubleJeopardy spending & WASTE
#JohnSolomon inadvertently detonated the #Republican #House #impeachment case. Last month, he published a #StateDept briefing memo which irrefutably proves that it was U.S. policy to seek #ViktorShokin's removal at the time #Biden was pushing for it as VP.

Speaking to the #HouseJudiciaryCommittee, #Wray sounded exasperated at times w/both the criticisms & the premise behind them — that as a Republican appointed by fmr President Donald #Trump, he was nevertheless out to get #Republicans.

…#Lieu asked #Wray about #RogerStone, #ElliottBroidy, #MichaelCohen, #PaulManafort, #RickGates, & #GeorgePapadopoulos, all of whom were found #guilty of various #crimes in federal court.
Lieu pointed out that all of the advisers were prosecuted by Trump appointees: #BillBarr, #MatthewWhitaker, & #JeffSessions. Wray, who was already leading the #FBI at the time, is also a #TrumpAppointee.

Best quote from today’s hearing:
“It’s not the fault of the #FBI that #Trump surrounded himself with criminals.”
