The Intelligence Committee is also going to investigate, quote, whether any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds level, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates,' she read.

This means theyre now officially and with subpoena power investigating directly the thing that you shout out in the dark in the middle of the night when you wake up sweating and you thought it was a dream and you didnt realize you said it out loud, Maddow added. You know how you wake up in the night drenched in sweat saying what if the president is a foreign agent? Thats point number three.
The host later said that she wasnt sure Trump was aware of such a broad investigation when he made his strange rhyming aside claiming if there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation during the State of the Union the night prior.
I dont know what the president was hoping for last night when he decided to say in his State of the Union address that Congress shouldnt investigate him anymore or the country gets it, Maddow quipped, but I cannot imagine this was the desired result of that now indelible and permanent line that will always be part of the history of the Trump presidency and the history of the State of the Union address in America.

if there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation
if there is going to be war and investigation, there cannot be peace and legislation
Now let's remove the inconsequential war and peace and it reads
if there is going to be investigation, there cannot be legislation
It just takes McConnell to bring the legislation passed by the House for there to be legislation. Does this mean Putin is telling Trump to tell McConnell to not bring any bills to the floor for a vote? It sure sounds like it.
