Then she asked a Congressman if it was true and he said he didn't know.

1. Actually, Katy Tur said that Fox News was reporting that.

They make shit up over there, so who knows if that is true.

[Ninga]

2. The rest of the story is...the congressman said he didn't think a trip was possible because the

Speaker instructed the House to stay in session and work.

3. I don't see Pelosi flying off to Europe in the middle of a government shutdown.

6. That trip was probably cancelled as soon as it became obvious spanky was going to

continue to hold his breath until he turns blue. Madame Speaker would not leave the country while he's throwing is tantrum.

Pelosi's trip to Afghanistan had been a closely held secret due to security concerns, of course. Very few people knew she was heading there. @SteveScalise mentioned Pelosi was headed to Brussels in his presser this morning, which angered Dems.

9. CNN reported it too.

The plane was scheduled to leave really soon.

10. Yeah, Journalists are tweeting pictures of the buses returning to the Capital from the

airfield filled with Congressmen. He deliberately waited until the last minute.

11. He does know she's the one who will be leading impeachment hearings against him, right?

Maybe ticking her off isn't a good idea.
