Actually I love the idea of Hillary sputtering at some faceless DoS apparatchik over the phone "What do you mean I'm not worth the trouble anymore? Do you know who I am!"

Similar to the Hunter Biden employment requirement for VP Joe to get you a cool billion anyone.
All under the watch of the Empty Suit, aka President Zero.
[Twitchy] Earlier this week, a federal appeals court ruled that Congress cannot sue to enforce outstanding subpoenas against the Trump administration and executive branch. The ruling basically means former White House counsel Don McGahn will not have to testify before Congress.
The ruling did not sit well with House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, who complains that Trump’s lawyers “convinced” two judges to make an “unprecedented” ruling.

The problem, Mr. Schiff, is that your reputation precedes you. The colloquial expression is that you are telling tall tales out of school. The crude, more direct expression is that you are a liar and full of sh*t.
Attorney-Client relationship has something to do with that, too. Some subpoenas are quashed. Some are squashed. The President follows the law. Sometimes he wins. Sometimes he loses. Get over it, Narcissus.

I was hoping Trump's lawyers would convince the two judges to keelhaul slimy Schiff.

ostensibly, that is why lawyers exist; but this statement was probably just an attempt to get a talking point out to his media allies.
wall-to-wall coverage, 'we're getting more news on the 2 judges who ruled in favor of Trump'

Implicit in his statement is the assumption that the judiciary is 'suppose' to rule against Trump without having to provide sufficient ground to do so.
#11
Attorney-Client relationship has something to do with that, too.
Causing an Attorney to testify on a "fishing expedition" was several steps too far. Can the White House have Schiff's staff all be deposed just... because as well?
A Barack Obama-appointed Judge, natch..
[FoxNews] A federal judge ruled Sunday that one of the Trump administration's top immigration officials, Ken Cuccinelli, was unlawfully appointed to his post because of a decades-old law on federal vacancies.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled that Cuccinelli's appointment as the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) circumvented a law that said a senior government position could be filled only if the Senate first approved the individual.
It was not immediately clear what impact this would have on Cuccinelli's tenure, if any.

Seems the judge and I have different definitions of what ‘acting director’ means. I think it means he does the job until approved by powers that be or replaced by someone so approved. As in temporary. The judge seems to think it means trump appointed person full of wrong-think.
If my definition is right, hopefully upon appeal someone will humiliate this partisan judge for the nonsense.
[CNBC] Sen. Amy Klobuchar will drop out of the 2020 Democratic presidential race on Monday and endorse former Vice President Joe Biden.
The Minnesota senator will join her soon-to-be former rival at a rally in Dallas and support his bid for the nomination, a campaign spokesman confirmed. Klobuchar will leave the race a day before her state holds its presidential primary. Minnesota will award 75 national pledged delegates.
The departure of Klobuchar, and former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg a day earlier, leaves a chunk of the vote up for grabs across the 14 states holding primaries on Tuesday. Klobuchar and Buttigieg’s presence in the race threatened to sap delegates from Biden, who narrowly trails Sen. Bernie Sanders in the national delegate race after four contests.
Klobuchar tried to carve out space in the Democratic primary field by running on a more moderate platform than many of her rivals and touting her ability to appeal to Midwestern voters. But the third-term senator from Minnesota struggled to gain a foothold in a crowded field despite a flash of early success.
Klobuchar focused on issues such as health care and climate change during her presidential bid. As she tried to distance herself from her rivals in recent weeks, she criticized early frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders for his “Medicare for All” plan and Buttigieg for a lack of experience.

Don't see how Biden can win.
Of all of Trump's negatives (old white man with bad temper) Biden has the same problem in spades, plus the corruption with his son that everyone can see clear as day even if the law wasn't actually broken the assumption of connections and access was there.
[Fox News] Sen. Doug Jones took a pricey European fundraising trip this winter where he stayed at two fancy hotels in London and Paris and paid for the luxe getaway with his campaign funds, records show.
The Alabama Democrat spent $487 to stay at the K+K Hotel Cayre in Paris, billed as "a beautiful historic building located in heart of Saint Germain Des Prés" that's within walking distance to Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. The hotel boasts "soundproofed" luxury rooms and private black marble bathrooms with underfloor heating.
The red-state politician up for reelection in November also spent $1,296 at the Baglioni Hotel in London, which describes itself as "one of the finest 5-star luxury hotels in London" that's located in "one of the most exclusive, elegant and celebrated parts of the city."
Jones’ getaway included $1,164 spent on Eurostar rail travel and $533.66 for Easy Jet airfare in England, according to campaign reports that Jones filed with the Federal Election Commission on Feb. 20.
In all, his campaign paid for nearly $3,500 in European travel expenses dispersed in January, records Jones' himself disclosed to the federal government. The expenses were related to a fundraising trip Jones took in December to collect checks from well-off Americans living abroad and wanting to support Jones’ tough fight for re-election, Fox News has learned.

does the socialist movement have a plan B in case Bernie has another heart attack or some other disabling (and btw, people near 80 years old with a heart condition are primed to go to room temperature if they contract COVID-19)
I'm pretty sure they do not.

Suddenly, the Dems have dropped all things Ukraine.
Curious.
[IsraelTimes] The Israel lobby AIPAC launched its annual conference on Sunday with an appeal for bipartisanship and potshots aimed at Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... , the Democratic front-runner in the presidential stakes.
The jarring contrast reflected how polarized support for Israel has become in the current political climate.

[THEFEDERALIST] In the South Carolina primary on Saturday, Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was born Warren ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... ’s presidential campaign died. It wasn’t from smallpox-tainted blankets, but from lack of votes. Her lackluster campaign flamed out in the Palmetto State like a wet matchstick.
Did she ever have a chance? No. Warren was always the other Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... without the appeal or popularity. Ultimately, the problem is that nobody likes her.
For the intelligentsia like those at the esteemed New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , she was the perfect candidate, an antidote to Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... ’s toxic masculinity ...the liberal concept (the science is settled!) that men are knuckle dragging bastards who spend all their time watching football, drinking beer, burping, farting, and thumping their women. This doesn't apply if the men are girls transitioning to boys, or boys transitioning to girls, or either transitioning to sheep... . But on Saturday night, the clock ran out. She came in fifth place behind a victorious Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020... , a satisfied Bernie Sanders, a lackluster Tom Steyer, and the gay former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Was there a case for Warren? Some thought so, and she did, but there never truly was. The case for Warren had too much to do with her being a woman ‐ the woman. This was Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... redux, but nobody really liked Hillary Clinton. I’m a competent woman is not a cake that rises to the level of being elected president.
Who is Warren, exactly? A woke scold? A mid-level manager who does trust exercises? Nobody wants that. Presidential candidates need to inspire. Warren couldn’t inspire a cup of coffee to get cold. That was always the problem: for all the noise about the importance of her candidacy, she wasn’t a good candidate. And that is why she lost.

Warren couldn’t inspire a cup of coffee to get cold.
[BREITBART] During MSNBC’s coverage of Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic primary, Democratic strategist James Carville predicted that 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Sen. Amy Klobuchar Senatrix from Minnesota, candidate for the Dem presidential 2020 nomination. You can tell the kind of husband a boy will make by the way he treats his mother. You can tell the kind of leader a politician will make by the way he treats his staff. Klobuchar is reportedly overbearing, snide, and dictatorial with her people. She see this as merely getting the best from them. Her name spelled backward in the Russian alphabet would be "Rachubolk," which sounds pretty daggone suspicious... (D-MN) and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg ...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country... "will probably be out by Wednesday."
While discussing the Biden and Sanders campaigns potentially recruiting other candidates who have dropped out of the race, Carville said, "Everything is going to help a little bit to show that you can expand the coalition here. Also, I mean, it’s inevitable that Sen. Klobuchar and Mayor Pete will probably be out by Wednesday. It’s kind of hard to see where there’s a path there. So, there’s a lot of political groundwork that you can do that can help this."

At this point, I don't give a &%#$ about Dem problems of finding a candidate to run against Trump. They can all drop out. They have tried too many underhanded seditious schemes and plots to take down Trump and interfere with the presidency. They care little about the country. They have lied, enlisted foreigners to aid in their tries to take down Trump. They came up with the phony Mueller investigation, lied on FISAs, came up with the phony impeachment, illegal spying, etc. Who know what else?
F*&#* em all; they can go bugger themselves. Karma is a bytch isn’t it.

Comrade Matthews has more time with his family. Maybe he can run for state governor or lieutenant governor to get special dispensation. Toss in a college pic in blackface to show his woke credentials.
