You remember when Darrell Issa was on Bill Maher's show last Friday? We covered it here, ran a video of the segment that shows how Maher and his audience pressured the gutless Issa into agreeing that any real investigation into Trump's relations with Putin requires a special prosecutor rather than a Republican white wash effort led by Richard Burr or Devin Nunes.Issa told the audience that "You’re going to need to use the special prosecutor’s statute and office to take, not just to recuse.

I told her that the only possible Republican who could be swayed was Nevada's Dean Heller, who lives in a swing state and is up for reelection in 2018.
Late last month we wrote about a new trend that Holland started-- making fun of Señor Trumpanzee's sick nationalism on local late night TV shows. Now everyone is doing it-- all across Europe.
