On October 28, 2017, the anonymous "Q" posted, "Hillary Clinton will be arrested between 7: 45 AM -- 8:30 AM EST on Monday -- the morning on Oct 30, 2017." That never happened.

Jaime Harrison is gaining ground on professional pilot fish Lindsey Graham. The Cook Political Report has shifted its projection for the South Carolina Senate race from “likely Republican" to “lean Republican."

Florida man Matt Gaetz ran crying to Sean Hannity after the congressman got in trouble for threatening Michael Cohen on Twitter.
