I'm still lost. I'll have to google some sort of explainer for ignorant Americans. 😬 I'm not 100% either, but the fact that May lost shows her support level is not where it should be. It would be like if the Senate voted to put Trump in contempt for not providing his tax returns - Republicans are still in the Senate majority, but don't support the President any more (dare to dream). That would be bad for Trump and his agenda. Again, someone please correct me if I'm wrong. What this legally means for May and her government, I have no idea.

I think it's somewhat possible Parliament could force a no confidence vote and May's government could fall. This Brexit deal is just such a horrible mess.

I know there was a similar one last week...and he referred to himself as "Tariff Man" today in a Tweet...

Matt Whitaker is REALLY unpopular Wow. I cannot imagine 400 employees of my cabinet dept (not DOJ) agreeing on anything. Which is to say Whitaker must be really awful.

The difference lies in the Parliamentary procedure. US elections occur at set intervals. That's not the case in the UK. This will likely he the end of Theresa May's political career. An election will be called, I should think.

Back to the Conway/Tr.ump family feud (or George and Erics anyway) Apparently E's was in response to George tweeting the US Criminal Code numbers for witness tampering.

The sense I get from the DOJ people I know is that they all feel under attack and there's a camaraderie in pushing back publicly. Similar sentiment in State and EPA.
