People predicted major political happenings for the 27th. Did we get them?

Yesterday I talked about the internet rumors/speculation/possible fake news that something huge was going to happen today. To sum it up, there was supposed to be a major disclosure about the Awan brothers investigation. Barring a major revelation in the next couple of hours I think it's safe to say that nothing new on that front is happening. President Trump did retweet an article about the case, but other than that, nothing really happened.

So that means that the rumors and speculation were completely wrong right? Well not really. A lot DID happen today politically and some of it was pretty significant. The problem is that none of it had much to do with the Awan brothers case and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

What did happen then? Well the most important by far is that congressional Republicans are calling for a 2nd special counsel to investigate former Attorney General Lorreta Lynch, former FBI director James Comey and, the biggest prize of them all, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton herself! The Committee on the Judiciary's letter can be found in full here.

This investigation is huge if Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein actually assign a special prosecutor and will satisfy the demands of Donald Trump's most passionate supporters. It also may help to explain why Donald Trump has been so hard on Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Trump must have known that this was coming and wanted Sessions to feel the heat if he was having second thoughts about the investigation, or, failing that, force him to resign so Trump could get someone that would lead this investigation.

The actual letter itself was a greatest hits collection of complaints about what has happened in the past year or so. Everything is included. Clinton's e-mail scandal, the possible pay to play scandal with her foundation, her collusion with the DNC and media to rig the primaries against Bernie Sanders, the wiretapping/unmasking accusations targeting the Trump campaign, and the phony Trump dossier created by Fusion GPS. Given how much we have found out about those issues already, it's very likely that there will be prosecutions and convictions. This is a massive story as the implications of investigating, arresting and prosecuting a former presidential candidate, secretary of state and first lady are huge, not to mention the former Obama officials that could go down too.

But that's not all that happened today. House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes sent a letter to DNI Dan Coats saying that work needed to be done on the unmasking scandal. He alleges that someone in the Obama Admin, possibly UN ambassador Samantha Powers, unmasked possibly hundreds of people with little justification. This too is huge news and could lead to arrests as well if an investigation is started. 

I would say that those two stories are hugely important and, with the relatively recent Awen brothers/Debbie Wasserman Schultz case breaking wide open as well I think that it is safe to say that there are major things afoot right now. Three major investigations that could utterly destroy the Democrats. Does that mean that the random posters on the internet were right about things? No, but it does seem like today was a huge day. The posters were either knowledgeable about something and made up the details or were just incredibly lucky.

Also, I have to say, that given the gravity of these stories it is amazing to me that the MSM isn't covering it. Right now the headlines are still about Scaramucci talking about leaks (another major story that broke recently), the healthcare fiasco and more Russia sanctions. All important stories but the special counsel story is getting buried compared to the rest. And the unmasking stories and the Awan brothers case? Not getting any coverage outside of right wing media...
