A new bombshell report from Politico found that House Speaker John Boehner had several days of secret negotiations with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the recently emboldened former Speaker, leading up to his decision to flip-flop and fund President Obama’s executive amnesty—including a pre-hashed out deal to use the hoopla around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Tuesday address to Congress over Iran’s nuclear ambitions as political cover to sneak in the extraordinarily controversial vote. Even with the bombshell report, however, Boehner’s office continues to deny any deal took place.
“It was Monday at 5:30 p.m. when Pelosi and Boehner agreed that it was ‘best to take up the matter on Tuesday immediately after Netanyahu’s address in order to deal with the matter as quickly as possible upon return of the Senate papers,’ according to an aide familiar with the conversations,” Politico’s Lauren French wrote on Thursday evening.
That part of a supposed deal between Pelosi and Boehner came after what French reported were several days of negotiating and dealmaking between the current and former Speaker. French wrote:
Since Friday, Pelosi and Boehner have held quiet rounds of negotiations and maneuvering to push the measure through the House over the objections of a cadre of conservatives in Boehner’s conference who scuttled a three-week funding bill in a dramatic showdown last week. As late as Tuesday, Boehner tapped Democrats to help pass a procedural rule for a funding bill for Amtrak that Republicans were threatening to bring down if it did not include a provision that would stop a clean DHS bill from moving forward. But Pelosi pledged Democratic support to move forward — a departure from normal where the minority party always votes against rules brought by the party controlling the floor.

I knew the Bibi speech hoopla was odd. There was a strange forced quality to the GOP excitement during it.
These corrupt politicians will never vote for the GOOD of the Citizen.
They will always vote for the benefit of the elitist and their “good friends” on the hill.
It is a matter of “you lick my a$$ this time and I will lick yours next time”.
Nasty corrupt bastards.
So now it is a triple failure. 1) He didn’t get away with it and looks even more traitorous to conservatives. 2) The hoopla focused everyone’s attention on what a rotten treaty this administration is forging with terrorists. 3) Americans got to see what it is like to have a real leader speaking in Washington for the first time in decades..
The whole modern American political class.
Vacate the chair!
These duplicitious $OB$.
Why would this “deal” which offers an example that equates both political partys working hand in hand as corrupt be even reported in Politico ? We know that the submissive Kaliforicators in Pelosi’s district will renew her license to steal in 2016. But what’s in it for Bohner ? Are there any protests going on at his distict offices which aren’t getting reported ?
How about a depressed turnout ? Look for a lot more reporting of this type.
BTW Levin reported that when Bibi made his entrance Pelosi was one of those standing up and cheering. In her after the speech remarks she fires away taking the regime position so that it gets reported in the Israeli media to influence Bibi’s election.
Boehner must be removed.
Torches... Pitchforks... tar... feathers...
It’s go time. We have NO representation anymore.
