"National Intelligence (and other oxymorons)" (FTTxJT Wed 102126 hr2)

And I'm going to do something salacious here because we got into Senator Slotkin yesterday.

We had a clip.

She was at some University of Chicago discussion in which she said she wanted to create a scenario where political opponents wouldn't suit up to be political opponents because of lawfare, because they would go after them legally.

And now, you know, apparently she's going back down on it.

Endless lawfare by Democrats.

Our congressional correspondent, Bill Malujan, live here in Washington with the latest.

Bill.

John, good afternoon to you.

Senator Slotkin really stirred up a hornet's nest with this one.

President Trump and other Republicans are now blasting her as a, quote,

lowlife over these comments.

She's also facing an ethics investigation.

Congressional ethics, of course, oxymoronic in its statement.

Made

them while she was talking at a University of Chicago panel last week, but they really picked up steam this past weekend when they went viral.

I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him.

I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun.

I might get an opportunity.

I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems.

Just like how the South Sudanese are told, don't go and support the wrong people because we'll blow up the market you're in.

And yes, I will compare the two.

We'll get into all of it.

153 people are dead this morning, added to a death toll that's already over 150,000 in a three-year civil war between two generals in the Sudanese army in North and South Sudan over oil and the resources there.

The drone attack on a market near an oil depot killed 153 this morning.

Local officials blaming the Sudanese army and raising concerns of spillover from Sudan's more than three-year-long civil war because they support the wrong side, and they've gone to the country that supports the wrong side.
