[RogueBeaver]

Breaking. US Attorney newser at noon.

[Gass3268]

Whoa!

[Zaybay]

What? *looks up race* oh, i guess this moves it to likely instead of safe.

More Republicans might get entangled in this, Culberson is the most electorally significant person:

With news of Markwayne Mullin being involved in this, I believe OK-02 can now safely be moved from Lean D to Safe D.

Get Rekt Collins

Nate McMurray seems like a solid one term placeholder candidate if Collins gets hit hard by this at the polls.

Now we have a tiny possibility that New York will have a 27 D - 0 R delegation in 2018.

Elise Stefanik might pose a bit of an obstacle to that little fantasy.

Solid, I hope you're not planning to hurt Peter King, Elise Stefanik, and Tom Reed.

Stefanik is overrated. Three words: Jaime Herrera Beutler. She was considered this unbeatable, charismatic, entrenched representative in a light red district, very similar to Stefanik. Well, guess what? She just had an awful showing in the primary, with Dems getting a majority of the vote, and could well be on track to lose this November. JHB and Stefanik are similar in a lot of ways, and Stefanik is far from unbeatable in this environment.

I will concede that she's probably the safest of the NY Republicans given Collins' arrest, though.

Peter King got outraised last quarter. He's still a massive favorite but he's not going to be able to coast by and hide in his entrenchment bunker like he would be able to most years.

I wish Kathy Hochul had decided to run for a rematch. She only lost by 1.6% in 2012.

You forgot that they're both hot.

Is this related to the matter that was before the House Ethics Committee?  If so, it shows both how foolish the Republicans on the committee were to drop the matter and how toothless the committee is.

Peter King, Lee Zeldin are not going anywhere.
