1. Very fishy if true.

Something's going on.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. So Mitch has a few Senators

ready to jump ship. Dog and pony show anyone.

3. I kind of think this a ploy

to give Burr political cover in a swing states in 2020 or this could also be to help Trump, but whatever reasons you can bet republicans will conduct this hearing in a fashion to make it meaningless.

5. Burr is not running.

I heard today he will not be running in 2022. Burr can do what he wants..

The odd thing is Nunes joining with Schiff to subpoena the Mueller report. That is strange.

10. Rat departing sinking ship?

4. 'don't worry boys, the fix is in ...' nt

6. It's probably to pretend the Republicans are exercising oversight.

It obviously has nothing to do with investigating.

The idea that Bart will offer immunity for testimony is probably right.
Trump wants his family protected because he knows they are guilty of crimes.

7. As the fish looking character from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back said,

"IT'S A TRAP".

Republicans will use this to somehow exonerate Trump Jr!

8. Let's not forget Republicans will have the full unredacted Mueller report.

9. This smells sooooo bad
