10 Assassinations That Went Horribly Wrong
History has a long list of successful assassinations and an even longer list of failed ones. Sometimes, the hit man botches the job. One such “professional” was killed by his own target. Another group refused to go through with their plot and even gave their intended victim evidence to use against the man who contracted them.
Other times, assassinations fail because whoever paid for the murder just decided to be an idiot, like the one who sent information about the proposed hit to his boss instead of the assassin. Still other times, it’s because the police caught on to the deal and pretended to be hit men. One man ended up hiring an undercover cop to kill another police officer.

I’m very proud of our committees who have been diligently working on coronavirus relief legislation as a basis for reconciliation should that be needed. We will pass a reconciliation bill … we will pass a reconciliation bill, if we need it. We would hope that we would have bipartisan cooperation to meet the needs of the American people, Pelosi said. We would hope that but we’re not taking any tools off the table should they not.

The Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee is holding a hearing now to examine the nominations of Marcia Fudge to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Cecilia Rouse to be chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
