Texas Representative Roger Williams is the third base coach for the GOP congressional baseball team. Williams was hitting practice grounders to the infield when the Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer, James Hodgkison, opened fire on the team from behind the third base dugout.

Treehouse Poet Laureate
The more I think about the limp waisted responses to this shooting the angrier it makes me. I can cut the people who were at the shooting today some slack bc they are still in shock even though it disappoints me.
But Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi are truly infuriating. They had an opportunity to call out the hateful division and neither one did. Neither one. UNIPARTY GARBAGE.
Paul Ryan was mugging for himself, thinking he sounded Presidential for a run for an office he will never win. Never.
But listen to Pelosi’s whole speech if you haven’t. I’ve complained about it here at least twice (but I’m not seeing all my comments so Idk what happened to them) about what she said. And then I thought about it again. At first I was annoyed that she used plays as an example given the assassination scene in the Shakespeare in the Park Julius Caesar. Then she shilled for how many women were on the Dems baseball team.
But I missed something else – she used sports as an example of a way we’re brought together. Meanwhile the NBA team from her home state refused to go to the White House bc they oppose Trump. Her own damn state and she is saying sports brings people together. She could have used this as an example to call hem out, to call for legitimate unity and showing respect to our POTUS and the office and she didn’t. She went on and on like a day drinking old granny.
Shame on the leadership in both parties for throwing this opportunity away. If they can’t call it out now when we could have 25 dead on our hands they never will.
We have got to drain this swamp as quickly as possible. Vote them out. Out their scandals. Charge them for any crimes we unearth. Recall them from office. Protest peacefully at everything they do. Shame them on media. All of it.

But what if Seth Rich found the even more horrifying truth behind that? That even the rigging was basically a facade? The fact that Bernie was all about energizing the party, and that there WAS no possibility of him ever winning – that Bernie was a HOAX on the Democrat base – a facade of internal opposition to let Hillary seem to be something other that a “designated successor” to Chairman O?

Attorney from Judicial watch on with Lou Dobbs, very interesting. Suggests that Rosenstain limit special counsel to only criminal matters, and since there is no underlying predicate crime during the campaign, the investigation must cease and could not reach subsequent events. If they want to look at obstruction, they’d need a different investigation, start from scratch. Back to square one, with Sessions deciding what to do, etc. Much more control.
Another option considered was applying to Rosenstein arguing that the leaks in the WaPo article constitute misconduct by the office of the special counsel, consider switching horses.
I’m not suggesting either of these are viable approaches, but good to see people at least addressing today’s events.

This is exactly correct. First, Mueller is directed to recuse himself per 28 CFR 45.2. The exact citation Sessions cited as the reason he recused. Next we have Comey’s testimony under oath that President Trump was not under investigation nor was he suspected of collusion. As Mr. Sessions recused because of his closeness during the campaign to Trump, that investigation is essentially over.
Mr. Sessions can now unrecuse unless Mr. Mueller can show cause why he should not.
Speciffically, if Mr. Mueller wants to cite 28 CFR 45.2 as the reason Mr. Sessions should stay recused, Mr Mueller should recuse for the same reason.

Hi. I re-read the article, and the links within it for further clarification.
The main article is relying on information from 5 anonymous people (I believe the press now thinks if they have more anonymous people that will give more credence to their story).
This article refers back to a previous article quoting anonymous people about the details of a conversation between the President and two other members of his Administration – and supposedly these two people were concerned about supposed pressure from the President to get the FBI to ‘back off’ the Russia story.
All anonymous, unverifiable innuendo.
The only thing that really seems to be happening is that Comey is trying his best to divert attention away from the Russia angle of the investigation (because there is no there, there) and toward getting the whole Justice Department to investigate the fact that Comey was fired. Which, I believe is the President’s right to do.
Perhaps it is all the previous fake news stories, whether Priebus is out, or Bannon is the secret power behind the throne, contending with daughter Ivanka, or whatnot, but I’m keeping the mantra posted to the computer screen –
The news is fake, the leaks are real.
Until such time as the President says otherwise.
But, who knows. Will keep the ears open.

We (Trump supporters) have been vilified first by Never Trump Republicans, then by Hillary supporters, and (oddly) by Bernie supporters after the DNC rigged their primary. We understood and, although it was unjust and we attempted to show the truth, we dealt with it during the Primaries and General election as part of the seemingly increasing hyper-partisan election season. The MSM in collaboration with DC Beltway continued a Resist Trump narrative after the election and through the inauguration. Troubling, but still we nurtured the hope that sense will return after President Trump shows results that enact changes to better all US citizens. Five months more of continued Trump bashing by Democrats and the MSM, in conjunction with silence peppered with infrequent tepid support of Trump by GOPe has reaped the results we have seen today. I have to believe that any Republican that felt remaining silent provided them a cocoon of safety has been utterly shattered today. Our President is a negotiator, he has extended olive branches numerous times in an effort to enact change for the betterment of we, the people…all of us. It is time for the Republicans to stand with their President (and preferably Democrats, too) in calling for the MSM to turn off the anti-Trump propaganda and report news fairly and accurately (even if it does happen to be anti-Trump, that’s okay as long as it is accurate). If this does not happen then it tells us everything we need to know about the motives of the political establishment.

Then when the shooter moved in, because he had to, because they had done the right thing, the tables could be turned. Now on even or better ground, they had the chance to confront, and did.

Fair enough question and Sherlock answered it appropriately.

There are a lot of people who are not well versed with firearms and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. I know there is a great deal for me to still learn, it’s never ending. I think that’s what I like about it, kinda like politics, we’re always learning.

I like Sessions, but I honestly don’t understand what he was thinking with his choice of deputies. Surely there are some good R prospects for those positions. If there are none in DC look to the states, we have some fantastic AG’s out there he could have brought on board. I really, really question those deputy AG appointments.

Rosenstein is obviously a Uniparty Snake.
Jeff Sessions was confronted with massive opposition in Justice, and he ducked. A terrible decision.
The President has no control over his own Justice Department.
The most obvious solution, unfortunately, is to replace Sessions. And the sooner that happens, the better.

I honestly don’t get it either.
I get the whole uniparty concept but with 98% of DC swampers voting Democrat and the tiny few congressional hold outs (pro-American) identifying as Republicans it boggles my mind that Trump and his staff still don’t get it.
He let an opponent set his future.
Yes, Trump can get out of it, and yes there are options to be played that will make him victorious, of that I have no doubt.
I’m not worried about Trump long-term, I’m amazed that he and Sessions still don’t ultimately get the game.
I really do hope that Trump and Session planned this but I think it’s more of a case of turning lemons into lemonade than a pre-planned event.
The last thing, absolute last thing I would do is hire the #2 guy who identifies as a Democrat and spent time working under Mueller (Clinton/Bush/Obama). A guy who spent the last eight years prosecuting pizza shop owners (Memories Pizza) and bakeries (people who won’t make gay cakes) and didn’t resign as a Constitutional protest. A guy that would never vote for you and a guy that thinks it’s ok to appoint a special council to go after you.
Meh, this was a self-inflicted shot. Predictable.
The Rosenstein’s Democrat label is real a slap in the face to his base. I don’t want it to be this way. It NEVER was in the past but damn after eight years of Obama, did they learn nothing? Months of his supporters being physically attacked?
Trump and Session need to start doing what we hired you to do. You don’t have any friends up there. Start flexing your muscles.
Move it along. You’ve already let them set your game and timetable. Get on the offensive!

The Dems won’t stop. They all privately support or justify what happened. Remember many of them actually believe that Trump is a Russian agent. These lunatics believe that they are patriots fighting for their country.
The entire Democratic strategy since the election has been to deliberately stir up their base. It’s disgusting, but the rationale is that the distilled anger will increase turnout and increase the vote. The Dem leadership will privately see what’s happened as a positive development, because it demonstrates that their strategy is probably working.
From the Dems pov, things are probably going well. They have their Mueller SP, the MSM 100% on side, an extremely weak GOP opposition & ongoing multiple investigations allowing them to create a 24/7 cloud over Trump.
Their confidence is also their greatest weakness. They don’t understand how insane they come across to many people.
It’s tempting to want Trump to go after them, but the wiser approach is to wait and let everyone see how crazy they are, 24/7. He needs to contrast himself as the man of the ordinary people, keep the military on side and the economy thriving (esp tax reform). If he trusts the people, he will prevail at the ballot box (the Dems know this). I’ve been reassured by his response to this tragedy.

I see that the Kasowitz law firm has criticized the WP/Mueller leak, calling it illegal. Push back was instantaneous.
I’m guessing that this leak was to deflect from the damage to the dems being done by the Scalise shooting, so it may be that Mueller is so powerless he is now being used as a whipping boy by the dems side.
How can this be good for Mueller?
A leak like this at a time when the country (and Trump himself ) are visibly upset? A few minutes on reddit and /pol shows me all the hate tweeters about the shooting are getting doxxed with a vengeance, so I think the left has overplayed their hand. Optics are just horrible for Mueller now.
I actually think at this point that Mueller is getting squeezed by the dems. Their best option at this point is to bait Trump into firing Mueller, and if Mueller resigns, that option is off the table.
Mueller is just a human ping pong ball at this point, if you ask me.

He may not want to be a ping pong ball, but he is, IMO.
On one hand, he’s being threatened by Trump’s personal attorney, on the other he’s being forced to remain as SC, because if he drops out the only dem leverage, hoping Trump fires him, is off the table.
I still think Kasowitz is there to pursue civil charges, and if they can pin a RICO charge on them he’s looking at losing a lot of money. The recent law firm statement hints at a civil suit, I would say. If he’s worth 8 million, all that means is he’s a bigger payday for an aggressive legal team.
My thinking is, if the plan was to admit to lesser criminal charges and walk via light sentences or immunity, the counter threat of a civil suit will cause supporting or sideline players to reconsider.

excerpt:( read whole article if you can.)
In CNN’s most fevered dreams about a violent uprising of Trump supporters, they never could have conceived of the level of actual violence being perpetrated by Americans who refuse to accept Trump’s win. (See Hate Map.)
It began with Trump’s inauguration, when a leftist group plotted to pump a debilitating gas into one Trump inaugural ball, military families were assaulted upon leaving the Veterans’ Inaugural Ball, and attendees of other balls had water thrown on them.
Since then, masked, armed liberals around the country have formed military-style organizations to beat up conservatives. In liberal towns, the police are regularly ordered to stand down to allow the assaults to proceed unimpeded.
The media only declared a crisis when conservatives fought back, smashing the black-clad beta males. (“Battle for Berkeley!”)
There is more media coverage for conservatives’ “microaggressions” toward powerful minorities -– such as using the wrong pronoun — than there is for liberals’ physical attacks on conservatives, including macings, concussions and hospitalizations.
And now some nut Bernie Sanders-supporter confirms that it’s Republicans standing on a baseball field, before opening fire.
In the media’s strategic reporting of the attempted slaughter, we were quickly told that the mass shooter was white, male and had used a gun. We were even told his name. (Because it was not “Mohammed.”)
But the fact that Hodgkinson’s Facebook page featured a banner of Sanders and the words “Democratic Socialism explained in 3 words: ‘We the People’ Since 1776” apparently called for hours of meticulous fact-checking by our media.
Did reporters think they could keep that information from us forever?
The fake news insists that Trump’s White House is in “chaos.” No, the country is in chaos. But just like Kathy Griffin and her Trump decapitation performance art — the perpetrators turn around in doe-eyed innocence and blame Trump.
