Trump opens up Camp David as an 'adult playground' to woo GOP lawmakers during impeachment

[RandySF]

President Trump, partial to gold and marble elegance, never took a shine to rustic Camp David. So acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney pitched to him an unusual idea at the start of the House impeachment inquiry: Use the secluded mountainous presidential retreat to woo House Republicans.

Since then, Mulvaney and top White House officials have hosted weekend getaways for Republicans at the historic lodge, seeking to butter up Republicans before the big impeachment vote. The casual itinerary includes making s’mores over the campfire, going hiking, shooting clay pigeons and schmoozing with Trump officials, some of whom stay overnight with lawmakers.

During dinners, Trump has called in to compliment members personally.

“I’ve worked with a number of Republican presidents over various administrations .?.?. and I’ve never, ever been invited to Camp David,” said Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.). “It was amazing to go for the short weekend. So historic.”

The Camp David excursions are one prong of a broad White House charm offensive, meant to hold House and Senate Republicans in line through a House impeachment vote and a trial in the Senate that appears all but inevitable.

6. Yeah, she sounded really impressed to have been there.

Wonder if that’s enough to buy her vote.
If so, she comes really cheap.

7. Pretty pathetic

trump being charged with bribery and extortion while he's bribing members of the jury. Has he tried to do this with Justice Roberts, or with Moscow Mitch to fix the trial for him? Has he had surveillance done on any of these people to use against them for their vote?

8. He's probably just showing them what Putin has on them. nt
