Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments for racist comments.

Matt Gaetz also made racist comments, invited a Holocaust denier to the State of the Union, tried to get Parkland dads thrown out of a hearing on guns, and is now witness tampering.

Your move @GOPLeader

In reply to The Speaker speaks:

Preet Bharara earlier advised his followers that there isn't enough there there to prosecute over a single tweet

As I see it:

1. Gaetz is a thug & disgrace. His tweet is consistent with and evidence of witness tampering. He should be shunned & censured. And paid a visit by investigators.

2. I don’t know what prosecutor would indict and go to trial on the strength of this one tweet alone https://t.co/XK9zZo546L

In reply to That pretty well sums up what

I have seen many tweets (which I haven't bothered to post because they are sorta pot calling kettle black) which suggest, er, how should I say it: he could try using the alcoholism excuse. Sorta like the old twinkie defense.

That pretty well sums up what

That pretty well sums up what Gaetz is now facing as a consequence of this outburst.

What the hell could have driven him to do it?

In reply to OIC! The current headline

Here's the WSJ story mentioned in the Politico piece:

Michael Cohen tomorrow will show the Oversight Cmte a signed check he received as part of his reimbursement for the Stormy Daniels payment. *Trump* signed some of the checks reimbursing Cohen, which he began receiving after Trump took office, per source. https://t.co/iIaZ2P2V9r
