Mitch mccontinentals audacious strategy of ramming it through senate in one week has failed after the bill proved unable to withstand a little more than just five days of public scrutiny. In the wake of the cbo score yesterday, showing the bill would leave 22 million more people uninsured by 2026, the legislation has continued to hemorrhage support. By this morning, at least five republican senators announced they opposed advancing the bill to the floor. More than enough to stop it in its tracks.

Will then try to force donald trump to testify with a possible some. With cobb out, emmet flood is in. He is a veteran litd gator who defended bill clinton during his impeachment. He also served in the bush white house. Cobb was the good cop in this mueller probe. He calmed trump. He turned over documents. He was by all accounts the most cooperative lawyer on the team. Now he is gone, which means the team is less cooperative tonight than it was last night. Thats the first takeaway. This also previews where the fight could be going, the Trump White House arming for a potential bruising fight with mueller. High stakes. And there are people who would argue donald trump doesnt have to testify at all. Bill clinton took that position but ultimately testified in the ken starr probe.
