I Find It Interesting That Most Of Congress (H & S) Is Out Of D.C. On Recess At This Time.....

It's convenient for the Repugs especially - in that they aren't confronted by the MSM to answer or comment on the M-A-L search or Tr**p's treason and his lame and lying excuses for his possession of these files.

Hmmm.....

There seems to be a silence from the Repugs about this situation and this recess can be used as their excuse.

Are you suggesting that the search warrant was timed to coincide with the recess? Or that the recess was called to coincide with the search warrant?

Because neither of suggestions would have any merit. It's a coincidence, plain and simple.

And slithering out of sight. They always go on vacation at this time of year so there's not really anything weird about that. That many actions taken by Congress are done so just prior to vacation for a number of reasons.

They aren't silent

Recess or not. The gang gave a press conference the other day.

House Republicans, who were back in Washington on Friday to vote against the Democrats’ climate, health-care and tax bill, deflected blame that their rhetoric has inspired Trump supporters to attack law enforcement.
