The time traveling alien known as the Doctor (Doctor 1) and his companions arrived in England in 1066 and were surprised to find a modern wristwatch and a gramophone. The Doctor learned that these anachronistic devices belonged to another time traveling alien calling himself the Monk. The Monk planned to use an atomic bazooka to change the events of the battle of Hastings. The Doctor not only stopped the meddling Monk but broke the Monk’s time machine, leaving the Monk stranded in 1066. ("The Time Meddler", Doctor Who, vlm 1 TV)
The former Florida congressman who had been accused of — and denied — sex trafficking was on Capitol Hill to meet with senators Wednesday.
Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:
The House Ethics Committee deadlocked Wednesday over whether to release details of its investigation of attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz for sexual misconduct and drug use, the panel’s top Democrat said.
Rep. Susan Wild (D-Penn.) told reporters the evenly split committee ― a rarity in Congress ― saw members vote along party lines on whether to release the report, denying the majority needed for the report’s disclosure.
“There was not an agreement by the committee to release the report,” Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.), chairman of the panel, said as he left the committee meeting, which lasted for several hours.
Wild said she did not want Guest’s remarks to be taken to mean there was consensus decision not to release the report.
“I do not want the American public or anyone else to think that Mr. Guests’ characterization of what transpired today would be some sort of indication that the committee had unanimity or consensus on this issue,” Wild said.
The development leaves in limbo the fate of the probe’s potential findings as the Senate faces the prospect of having to vote to install as the nation’s top cop a man once accused of sex trafficking. Gaetz, a former Florida congressman, has denied the charges, and a federal criminal investigation into his activities was closed with no charges being filed.

Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) both notified the House they would introduce privileged resolutions to require the ethics panel to release its findings. Privileged resolutions are often used to try to get a quick House floor vote on an issue dealing with the standards of the House, such as censures or expulsions.
But given the congressional calendar, a vote on either resolution could be delayed into December, when public pressure may have lessened.
The House Ethics Committee deadlocked 5-5 to decline releasing the report on scandal-ridden potential AG pick Matt Gaetz.

Este ştiut din cultura politico-diplomatică americană că ambasadorii aflaţi în misiune au, în general, o slăbiciune pentru întrebările combinate, uşor metaforice. Oricum, în afară de răspunsurile şablon cunoscute chiar înainte de-a formula întrebarea, greu scoţi ceva tranşant, original.
