1. That's the problem with the internets. They make shit up.

There are currently 217 members of Congress who have signed the discharge petition. 213 Democrats and 4 republicans. Once they get 1 more signature they have the magic number 218. The three vacancies do not matter. 218 is half of the entire house membership not just the held seats. The Tenn special election means nothing.

The sad thing is even once discharged the bill has to pass the house as the discharge is to discharge a piece of legislation. If it passes the House, it goes to the senate and the HELL it inflicts and then the President must sign it.

There is a lot of runway left here

Part two is also gibberish nonsense. It is months old as the subpoena was issued in late July early August and we have already seen parts of the information released.
