News sources think it is trade related. I think Trump doesn't even know.
So he's going to promote it as some big huge amazing thing that's going to be So Great For America Believe Me, but it'll turn out like that big China deal he "structured" a few months back that he made an equally big fuss about but was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better for China than the US (China was allowed to open banks in the US, and we agreed in exchange to.....export more beef to them)
I assume though that the beef will be sold to them via The Sharper Image, so it's all good.
I've been dreading the day when the witch hunt against Clinton started. I thought it would've already happened, and probably the only thing that delayed it was Trump's laziness and stupidity/early dementia.
At this point, I'm not, honestly. He's burned through whatever political capital he had, and pushing to jail your opponent a year out from midterms is pants on head.

Why crazy? He ran on jailing her. He has to deliver or his fascist base will get bored.

It's not about the dead enders who were never going to budge. It's about inflaming his soft/hard opposition and suppressing his soft support.

They are never going to budge, but a lot of these people are not regular voters. They are too fascist/racist/poor for the regular Republican party to appeal very much, but Trump got them fired up. They hate the Republican establishment and want to burn the system down. They are quite willing to not vote anyone, should Trump not deliver Clinton in a guillotine (or at least look like he will.)

They aren't going to even out the support he loses or the opposition it energizes. It's a petty, shortsighted strategy with terrible long term prospects, thus, they'll dive right in.

I expect a couple of hours of people demonstrating to him how and when he changed his answers. It won't matter, because the rule of law is dead, but it might be a little cathartic at least.

Unfortunately a move like this is typically beneficial politically to Republicans. Maybe it backfires in the long run since Hillary is not in any office but Congressional Republicans love wasting tens of millions on investigating her and FOX News is going to eat this shit up.

More to the point, he's a hamfisted authoritarian who probably isn't just saying things like that to score points. He might not be able to follow through depending on the rest of the system, but if someone like him says he wants to jail political opponents, believe he genuinely wants to make it happen, independently of whether it makes political sense to.
Believe the autocrat.

Please don't post thoughts without context - let us know what is happening . "here we go" is meaningless to someone not watching now or reading the thread later on.

Nadler is forcing yes or nos- he was pushing hard.

Do I want to watch this or will I end up stabbing myself in the face with an ice pick?
If it were anyone but Sessions, I'd probably tune in, but I just know he's going to slimeball his way through the whole thing and I'm not sure I can handle that.

Very droll, but yes, it's supposed to be an open sessions.

You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.

Conyers is asking about Trump demanding prosecution of his political enemies over Twitter, which included a Pocahontas tweet.

Got played by Sessions into wasting more time re-asking the same question several times and everything.
