Say Goodbye To Mick Mulvaney. He’s A Lame Duck.
"He’s like a kid. His role at the dinner table is to be seen and not heard".
That's what one GOP source close to the White House told Politico about Mick Mulvaney's status in the Trump administration. "He is there. I’ll leave it at that", the person added.
Mulvaney has never occupied the chief of staff role in anything other than an "acting" capacity, despite having stepped in for John Kelly nearly a year ago. Mick's accidental admission to a quid pro quo during an infamous press briefing
Hmmm, this acquittal in the Senate might just be delayed considerably, which might give lame Mick a little breathing room. If Pelosi cannot agree to better terms with McConnell regarding calling witnesses at the Senate trial she might hold on to those articles of impeachment for awhile. Meanwhile the Democrats can avail themselves of the courts to try and force Mick, et. al. to testify in the House, before the trial in the Senate. After all, Trump is now already impeached, which is really as good as it gets for this process, unless new witnesses and information surfaces. Going to the Senate after accepting McConnell’s show trial rules will only lead to an acquittal, so why bother? Plus, it will drive him crazy.
Drinks at the trump DC hotel. Even when kicked to the curb still have to give the don money and kiss the ring (and a$$)
