Here’s What Matt Whitaker Thinks Of Robert Mueller
by Saagar Enjeti
{dailycaller.com} ~ President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday afternoon and temporarily elevated his chief of staff, Matt Whitaker... Whitaker will now assume control of oversight of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation, Department of Justice spokeswoman Sarah Flores confirmed Wednesday. Whitaker spoke extensively about the dirty cop-Mueller investigation prior to joining the Justice Department in June 2017 noting that “dirty cop-Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election-meddling investigation that he is dangerously close to crossing” with respect to investigating the president’s finances. Whitaker has also tweeted about the dirty cop-Mueller investigation in the past, appearing to disparage the investigation... https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/07/matthew-whitaker-robert-mueller/?utm_medium=emailVIDEO: 'Matt Whitaker Joins CNN Panel On AG Jeff Sessions And The Russia Investigation' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8Bke7g0r6A

scumbag-Shiff: Dems Will Resume the Oversight
Role Repubicans so Competely abdicated
by Susan Jones
{cnsnews.com} ~ Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), one of President Donald Trump's most outspoken political adversaries... is expected to take control of the House intelligence committee come January, and he promises to do the oversight job that he says Republicans "so completely abdicated." scumbag-Schiff spoke to MSNBC late Tuesday night, expressing gratitude that Congress, with a Democrat majority in the House, can now be a co-equal branch of government. So I feel enormously grateful for all of those that worked so hard. And this is a big responsibility. Look, it's a big vote of confidence by the American people. And we're going to set a positive agenda going forward on just the issues you were talking about -- making sure that people can afford their health care, that if they have pre-existing conditions, they can keep their health care. That we address the needs of so many Americans who yes, are working, but not earning enough to get by. But we also intend to make sure that the oversight role that the Republicans so completely abdicated, we once again, the Congress once again undertakes and does so responsibly... Once again scumbag-Schiff is lying. Republicans did not fail, they couldn't get documents release from the FBI and Justice dept..
Jordan Says House GOP Must Prepare
to Defend Trump From Dems
by Julia Manchester
{thehill.com} ~ Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Wednesday said that House Republicans must prepare to defend President Trumpfrom potential investigations... launched by House Democrats, saying he doubts there will be much bipartisan effort. "I don't think so," Jordan told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton on "Rising" when asked if there would be an effort from House Democrats to reach across the aisle. "I think they're going to investigate the heck out of the first family. I think there will be impeachment proceedings. Mr. scumbag-Cummings has talked about that on the Oversight Committee. Mr. scumbag-Nadler has talked about that. He'll be the next chair of the Judiciary Committee," he continued. "And scumbag-Adam Schiffhas said the same thing as the next chair of the Intelligence Committee, so I think it's important we stand up and defend the White House and the president, and push back on some of these things that we know are going to happen," he said. "Now that we're in the minority, that's about all what we can do is debate, but fight hard in the debate for the principals, for the things that we know the American people sent us here to do in 2016. Show them that we deserve to be back in power in 2020," Jordan said. https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/415474-jordan-says-house-gop-must-prepare-to-defend-trump-from-house-dems.
House Dems to go “All-In” on Impeaching
Kavanaugh and Investigating Russia
by William A. JacobsonSo Much for the Blue Wave — GOP Expands Senate Majorityby Thomas Gallatin: More history was made yesterday in the era of Donald Trump. As USA Today reports, this midterm election result “was the first time since the nation started directly electing senators in 1914 that a party has won control of the House without gaining seats in the Senate.” That’s right — not only did Democrats fail to gain in the Senate but they actually lost ground. Republicans picked up at least two seats and likely four or five; we’re still waiting for the final results in Arizona, Montana, and a special election in Mississippi, as well as Bill Nelson’s futile call for a recount in Florida. So what are the takeaways for Trump and Senate Republicans going forward?
First, any Democrat fever dreams of removing Trump from office are gone. He’s here to stay. We’ll see if sick-Nancy Pulosi and the House Dems are foolish enough to follow through on their impeachment threats, as doing so would only prove to be futile.

Second, Democrats’ vile attack on Justice Brett Kavanaugh proved disastrous. If Sen. Jon Tester (D) loses in Montana, then every single red state Democrat who voted against Kavanaugh will have been defeated. That is about as thorough a repudiation as it gets.
Third, with the Senate now more firmly in Republican hands, Trump will have even less trouble getting Cabinet and judicial nominees confirmed. The implications for Trump’s lasting impact on the nation’s judiciary into the future are huge, including the Supreme Court with the possibility of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat coming open before 2020.
Fourth, Trump vs. scumbag/liar-nObama. Once again Barack scumbag/liar-nObama proved to be more of a liability than an asset to his party. In three of the most hotly contested races, (the governorships of Florida and Georgia, and Florida’s Senate seat) Trump and scumbag/liar-nObama essentially went head to head in stumping for their respective candidates — and in all three instances the Republican appears to have won. Tiana Lowe of the Washington Examiner notes, “[scumbag/liar-nObama] still suffers from fatal hubris. In a campaign speech just two days before the midterm elections, for other candidates, scumbag/liar-nObama said ‘I’ 73 times, ‘me’ nine times, and ‘my’ seven times.” That sums up his narcissistic personality disorder.
Finally, whether they like it or not, Republicans are now the party of Trump. Both he and the Left insisted this election was a referendum about him, and his focus on and victory in the Senate only solidified his leadership.

Democrats' House Win Provides Trump a Foil
In fact, despite not being on the ballot and his party losing the House, President Donald Trump might be the night’s biggest winner. Yes, likely incoming Speaker sick-Nancy Pulosi plans to push legislation antithetical to the Trump agenda — new gun laws, Demo-friendly changes to scumbag/liar-nObamaCare, expanded special protections for “LGBTQ” Americans, and legal status for “Dreamers” and no border wall — but those bills will die in the Senate, while Trump will find a willing partner for his desired infrastructure spending.
Most importantly, however, Trump does best when he has a “foil” — an enemy to run against. The #Resistance House Democrats, suffering as they do with Trump Derangement Syndrome, will fill that role perfectly. sick-Pulosi even mused recently that “subpoena power is interesting … in terms of negotiating other subjects.” She claimed Tuesday night that the midterms were about “restoring the Constitution’s checks and balances on the Trump administration,” as well as that the House’s job will be “stopping the [Senate] GOP.”
Trump didn’t wait to fire back, declaring this morning, “If the Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the House level, then we will likewise be forced to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information, and much else, at the Senate level. Two can play that game!”
That Trump did so little to shore up GOP prospects in the House lends credence to the idea that he’s setting up just the foil he needs for reelection.
Notably, women favored Democrats by 19 points. Democrats were strong in the suburbs with more moderate candidates, though the leadership is still moving ever more to the extreme left. And Democrat Socialist commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may remain the “new face” of the party after her landslide win. Thus, the Demo majority may be difficult to maintain in 2020 — if the GOP narrows the gap with women. Footnote: One Leftmedia list of “first” female House victors excluded Young Kim, the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress. Why? She’s a Republican.
