Talks of a possible bipartisan solution to the House Speaker standoff that has created chaos in the Republican caucus are underway, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday.

“There are informal conversations that have been underway. When we get back to Washington tomorrow, it’s important to begin to formalize those discussions,” the New York Democrat said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

When asked what House Democrats might be asking for a deal with House Republicans, Jeffries said his caucus wants “to ensure that votes are taken on bills that have substantial Democratic support and substantial Republican support so that the extremists aren’t able to dictate the agenda.”

    Hillary actually did something wrong

    Kind of. I think that’s giving them too much credit. The precedent was set with W and many, many others before her.

    I do agree that we should have put a stop to it, but to act like Hillary should have been the first one prosecuted is absurd.

    When you’re on a highway going 72 in a 65, are you doing something wrong? Until it’s understood that the law will be enforced and you’re not just following standard practice, I’d argue that you’re not the one doing wrong.
