The First Thing That Comes to Mind

For John, BLUF:  Maybe they could subpoena the char woman to ask if anyone left any notes in the room.  The second, I would think.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Democrats Want Trump's Helsinki Translator Hauled In Front Of Congress To Testify

From Zero Hedge, by Mr Tyler Durden, 18 July 2018.

Here is the lede:

At least two Congressional Democrats are calling for Trump's interpreter to testify about the private one-on-one meeting held between the US President and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Have US Representative Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) and US Senator Jeane Shaheen (D-NH) learned nothing from the experience of the Sage of Searchlight, former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid?  Remember when Majority Leader Reid abolished the filibuster for certain Federal Judge nominations?  How did that work out long term?

Does Representative Kennedy not foresee a time when there would be a Democratic President and a Republican majority in one of the Houses of Congress?

Apparently not.  Lack of long term thinking.

If you want more Trump, this is how you get more Trump.
