That way, whichever way it goes- he can post "and I'll take that on the EU"

{quote} off to bed.. i dont know if this above is true. source has been right in the past. these above are just so far above my understanding of law. i dont think its ever happened to have precedent. i dont understand why it could remove Ryan. even with the past having a good track record. this is well above my 3 years of Civics knowledge. even during Watergate, the question of what if a president, a vice president and a speaker of the house was removed never entered my thoughts. my understanding is 20 to 40 indictments pending. with some type of...
a slightly better understanding, some type of RICO case where money funded through GOP was not kosher. with some recordings implementing Priebus and Ryan knew about it. so Ryan knowing about it would make him a suspect. RICO many times has some laundered money. In this case it may come from Russians is my guess. another guess is that maybe Ryan etc didnt know it was laundered money. but covering it up after they found out, is illegal. if money went through Priebus, it went through the GOP national office. that may taint others who knew it later and covered it up. maybe even Mitch McConnell etc.

i did find it funny Chaffetz just ran for re-election, and is now stepping down less than 4 months into new term.

too early to tell. is any of this true? did Chaffetz make a deal for less time?
Remember the Nunes guy at the whitehouse? he looked like he saw a ghost.
Also Trump kept insisting he wasn't being investigated. That didnt include his campaign

any truth to this would make Warren Hatch president,, i think. if so he would be getting NS briefings now. His neighbors may see more activity around his home. ( SS black suv's)

FBI tweeted this just at the moment they did that raid in Annapolis. Coincidence probably.

we will see.. that chaffez quit, seems odd. those news briefings with Numes seemed odd also. numes was part of the transition team. he talked somewhat incoherent then. it didnt make sense. looked like a dear in the headlights. nice optics, Spicier in the bushes. Reminds me of the old "deep throat" investigation.

that tapped trump plaza tweet moved things forward. Lots of Russian laundered money just 1 floor below Trumps PH

I think the winking emoji wont cut it. You need to explicitly say that you meant it in a lighter way or it was a joke.

Chaffetz telling Republican colleagues he will take on a role at Fox News: report http://hill.cm/beaySyV

something is up... he got the foot operation in anticipation of bad news? going to quit after just elected, i wonder if he is a target turned witness.

{quote} This is what I don't understand So how is one supposed to trade this? Should we trade the st or mt? Sisse's post here: {quote} suggests the E/U is going in this direction, the posts after that he suggests the opposite direction. And I don't understand how can the FED hikes be all already priced in, the FED is expected to hike 3 times this year, they already hiked once and lets assume the 2nd hike is priced in but what about the 3rd hike? is that priced in already? and so the Dollar isn't going to get stronger as a result of the 3rd hike?...
This is my opinion and please don't take this as advice. If you don't already hold any positions from above or below then I would be trading short term only until ECB/FED. Trading back to the flip from high 1.09 or low if we close the gap. ECB/FED combo may then provide an entry for a medium term position with a new extension to the high.

Thats my plan anyway although things can obviously change. If wrong, good risk management should prevent me from losing too much.

This kind of comments reflects some frustration and may project the responsibility on someone else. Friendly, there is no reason for it. The ST and MT outlooks offer you the possibility to play both direction, sell and buy at appropriate levels.
With a Neutral ST Outlook and Sell MT outlook, Sisse made a calla to choose your poison. So for MT, you have a cheap ticket to Sell; for ST the extension to the upside might continue little bit to 1.109-1.105. At the end, it's our decision. GL!
