Put this in the rumor category . . . .
SOURCE A is a high-powered DC attorney who lives in one of those $X,XXX,XXX Capitol Hill rowhouses in the 200 block of Maryland Ave NE.
In SOURCE A's block lives Sen Thad Cochran's long-time legislative director who is now the second Mrs. Cochran. For many years, the first Mrs. Cochran was a dementia patient in a nursing home in Mississippi. For the same many years, Thad was -- shall we say -- a regular visitor at the now-second Mrs. Cochran's 2XX Maryland Ave NE home. SOURCE A observed many of his comings and goings.
Tonight -- 28 September, around 6:00 PM -- SOURCE A reported a lot of activity at the Cochran home -- Senate staffers whom SOURCE recognized along with 3-4 people SOURCE thinks were senators, though SOURCE couldn't identify them. The 3-4 visitors SOURCE thinks are senators arrived in big black SUVs with plainclothes Capitol cops escorting them. As of 8:30 PM the crowd is still there
Now, it could be they are gathering to piss on Boehner's still-warm corpse or to play poker and drink scotch. On the other hand, there may be plotting and conspiracies and ghosties and ghoulies about and "the game is afoot!!!"
