No.
Firstly, there's nothing wrong with a Senator meeting with a Russian embassador. So no penalty there.
Secondly, there's no proof of what was talked about, so plausible deniability there.
Lastly, on perjury charges, there's no way he gets charged like there was no way Clinton, Holder, etc were. They won't be charged unless intent is proven.
They may force him to recuse himself, which would still be a win, but that's it. There's 2 other important consequences here though. It adds to the growing Russia-Trump story, and you know Trump will be upset his positive news cycle was interrupted by this

This part of it is going to be really interesting as the investigations play out. All these GOP house members are going to contradicting themselves on a minutely basis depending on the most likely outcome.
America just incredibly stupid, in any other country, a political party with this much dirt and baggage would cease to exist. In Murica? Sweeping elections at every level.
Exceptionalism indeed.

Rand sounding a bit paranoid (and hyperbolic) here.

I have been told that the House Obamacare bill is under lock & key, in a secure location, & not available for me or the public to view.

@RandPaul This is unacceptable. This is the biggest issue before Congress and the American people right now.

@RandPaul What is the House leadership trying to hide? My guess is, they are trying to hide their "Obamacare Lite" approach.

I view statements from Rand Paul to be about as noteworthy as statements from Trump.
Rand Paul trying to carve the 'maverick' moniker out for himself now that McCain's days appear to be in twilight.

McCain is a microphone maverick anyway. Talks a grip of #### and then when it comes to voting he falls right in line.
#### John McCain.

A little sensitivity please. He started his career in Bowling Green. It may be "just another thing" to you, but the massacre is probably still fresh in his mind.

I don't know, he (and others) appear to be seeking this thing out like it's the ark of the covenant.
Here's Rand being denied entry to where the bill allegedly exists
Then a Dem tried to find it...

Rep. Paul Tonko (D) also tried to enter room H-157. He says staff told him the bill isn't here.

Another Repub also tried and failed...

Rep. Kevin Brady (R) just came out of H-157 too. He also says no bill inside. The great hunt for a GOP replace bill continues.

Which at least led to this reply
Whole thing is very weird.

This is one of those thing where it's just insanity, but then it gives rise to something completely inspired like this. Kudos to whoever came up with that. Amazing.

This isn't a joke guys. Ben Carson, you won. You're HUD secretary, not Trump.

The Daily Mail has reported that planners want to shift much of the US president’s trip - originally pencilled in for the first week in June - to the Queen’s residence at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire, in a bid to deter protesters.
The president could spend as little as one day in London before heading to Scotland.
A senior Whitehall source told the paper: “The Americans have asked to push it back.
“They don’t want what will be one of his first big foreign trips to be overshadowed.”
|
Quote:
The reported delay also means that Parliament will be in recess, making it impossible for MPs to “snub” the President by refusing him the honour of making an address.
Officials believe the delay could also allow tempers to cool over Mr Trump’s controversial policies, and that the autumn weather may make mass protests less likely.

May or may not be fewer protesters up north, but as long as she's back it's all good
