Ultimate DC insider: They all knew about Conyers

Thomas Lifson  "Nobody better represents the Washington, D.C. political-media establishment than Cokie Roberts.  For those who don't know, the NPR correspondent and ABC News commentator is the daughter of two former Democrat members of the House of Representatives, her mother replacing her father after his death.  Her father was the majority leader of the Democrat Caucus during the long period where the Democrats ran everything in the House.  Had he not perished in a plane crash in 1972, he might well have become speaker.  And her husband, Steve Roberts, is another member of the D.C. media establishment.

"In a moment of casual honesty yesterday, Cokie Roberts admitted on This Week that everyone knew about the dangers of being groped by John Conyers, who "icon" Nancy Pelosi seems to believe should be allowed his perversions and even crimes, on the model of other progressive "icons" like Ted Kennedy." . . .

All Of Al Franken’s Apologies To Women He Groped Have One Disturbing Thing In Common [VIDEO]

Daily Caller

"A humiliated Al Franken returned to Washington DC this week after a series of bombshell sexual harassment allegations.  

"Franken has been accused of being a serial-groper by multiple women. The Minnesota Democrat has faced more and more outcry, even from within his own party, as the allegations continue to stack.  In total, four womenhave now accused Franken of inappropriately touching or groping them without consent.  Many in progressive circles are now calling for Franken’s resignation. To date, Franken’s office has said he will not resign and instead has issued controversial apologies to the women. The apologies issued by Franken range in length and content, however there is one very disturbing trend that each of them has in common.

"Read them carefully and it’s easy to see that Franken is not aware that he is sexually assaulting women. Franken regularly states in his apologies that he is unaware that his groping was offensive and often does not remember if it even happened." . . .

McCain Recommends Hillary ‘Shut Up’ And ‘Move On’

Daily Caller "Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain called out former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for trying to rewrite the history of the 2016 election shortly after she lost, and recommended she “just shut up.”

“ 'You’ve got to understand that you can’t rewrite history,” McCain told Esquire magazine for a long profile released Monday.

“ 'One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistreated: ‘I did the right thing! I did!’ The hardest thing to do is to just shut up,” McCain said." . . .

John McCain To Hillary Clinton: Find Something To Do  . . .  "Personally, I like the idea of Bill and Hillary not having much to do these days. It means they’re not engaging in their previous decades of machinations. Even the fluff pieces on daughter Chelsea seem to have subsided in recent months." . . .

'Blowback': Clinton campaign planned to fire me over email probe, Obama intel watchdog says   "A government watchdog who played a central role in the Hillary Clinton email investigation during the Obama administration told Fox News that he, his family and his staffers faced an intense backlash at the time from Clinton allies – and that the campaign even put out word that it planned to fire him if the Democratic presidential nominee won the 2016 election.
. . . 
"The Obama appointee discussed his role in the Clinton email probe for the first time on television, during an exclusive interview with Fox News. McCullough – who came to the inspector general position with more than two decades of experience at the FBI, Treasury and intelligence community – shed light on how quickly the probe was politicized and his office was marginalized by Democrats." .
