Account Deleted By User DECLAS is useless during a Congress recess, as there's nobody to hype it in a committee investigation. This weekend? There won't be any committees meeting, other than negotiations to reopen the gov't.  (confidence is not high, on the latter.) Basically, he'll only have Senate venues available, come January, as DEMs take over all House committees. He's now missed all opportunities with friendly committees in the House, as the non friendlies take over in two weeks. DECLAS- just another squandered opportunity and weapon disarmed.
