Bill. It would be limited to repealing the obamacare is of individual and employer mandates and the medical device tax. The measure would go to conference to cut a deal with the house. After the procedural vote, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell pledged to keep working to get there and noted democrats doug two struggled with passing obamacare. We watched a similar process seven years ago. They had a lot of differences. We are going to sort this out with a so thoroughly open amendment process and a situation where 51 votes can change the bill. This democratic leader tried to convince moderate republicans to oppose this effort. Dont be fooled by this ruse. A vote in favor of the motion to proceed will mean deep cuts to medicaid, it may be even deeper than in the house bill. It wont be an easy lift going forward, but leadership was able to get past the first hurdle and has an opportunity to keep working at it to keep a Campaign Promise going back

that were leaked by the former director to kick start the russia special counsel investigation. the president s critics are pointing to a january 2017 memo that documented a private meeting between the president and james comey about a week after the inauguration and it was over this loyalty pledge. it reads in part he replied that he needed loyalty and expected loyalty. i did not reply or even nod or change my facial expression, comey writes. we came back to it later. i replied he would always get honesty from me. trump paused and said that s what he wants, honest loyalty. i replied you ll get that from me. based on the memos and book tour the relationship between comey and the president was stressed from the very beginning and he briefed them on the unverified salacious allegations in the so-called trump dossier about alleged coordination between russia officials and trump campaign associates. president sporters are pointing to a march 17 memo where there trump tells comey to find ou
who do you think had a responsibility to speak most the reason the president has been running down the existence of russian interference is because nobody told him? no. it flies in the face of what comey said last night. i was just shocked that they would do pr spins instead of asking further questions. why didn t just give the information. you come when you are called. he was there on january 6. why not give the information. he gave them a briefing saying the president talked the whole time and asked no questions. he wasn t curious about what they did. how to spin it to keep his election a victory. that is just not true. how do you know? this guy went from being a public servant to a public relations spin artist, from an investigator to an instigator. why did he not tell president-elect trump about the unverified salacious dossier?
