    Even with an investigation ongoing…

    Obviously they can release evidence. It’s an incredibly stupid plan and only someone completely ignorant of our legal system would release evidence pre-trial…

    That being said, this admin has done it so many times I’ve legitimately lost count, more than a handful of times.

    But trump will have at least one Senator filibuster this, which is why I was really hoping they got rid of it.

      No, he did not have a single Senator holding it up it passed with unanimous consent.

      Honestly, he doesn’t need to, All he has to do is have Congress go into adjournment on the 10th day of the bill being in his hand. And then when he doesn’t sign it, it’s supposed to go back to Congress. However, if Congress is adjourned, the bill gets pocket vetoed without the ability to be brought up again.

      I’m partially expecting with how much support has changed so drastically that that’s what the current plan is. Just have Congress go into adjournment. It prevents the house from bringing it up again as the bill gets fully tossed if I understand it correctly

      although I guess that is under the statement that he can get the house to close again
