One of the questions asked over the last two days of House managers was how the Steele Dossier was not considered to be help from a foreign agent. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) explained it very simply… it is not a violation because they paid for the information. Oh, Really? This moment in the Senate would have been comical were it not so criminal. The question, as read by Chief Justice Roberts, was, “Under the House managers’ standard, would the Steele dossier be considered as foreign interference in a U.S. election, a violation of the law, and/or an impeachable offense?” Rep. Jeffries, trying to hold a straight face, responded, “The analogy is not applicable to the present situation because, first, to the extent that opposition research was obtained, it was opposition research that was purchased.”

He even managed to slam the accusations being made regarding the dossier as “conspiracy theory.” After he gave his answer, White House Attorney Jay Sekulow stated, “So — I guess you could buy?

Next week is already shaping up to be a momentous time in politics, with Monday’s Iowa caucuses and Tuesday’s State of the Union address, and any holdover would be a huge complication for Democrats battling for their party's nomination and for the White House as it plans a speech it believes will shape the election battleground.

Officials say they still believe they have the Republican votes to avoid calling witnesses and secure an acquittal but now fear they may not get through to a final vote to clear the president by Friday evening.
