There will be a shit ton of new oil coming on stream in 3-5ish years if the US installs someone favourable to them. All at a very low cost.

Is it in the interest of the US to see a bunch of low cost oil hitting the market? Won't that drive down prices and hurt domestic US producers?

Its all about keeping gas at or below 3$/gallon.

During my 1 day 'down and back' on Saturday to bring my daughter home from Uni in the US for their Thanksgiving, I saw gas at a low of 2.71$/gallon to a high of 3.21$/gallon.

Pentagon threatens to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to military service for court martial in wake of illegal orders video​

The Pentagon said Monday that it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired US Navy captain, in light of “serious allegations of misconduct” the department has received against him, and could even recall him to active duty to face a court martial or administrative punishment.

The investigation comes as President Donald Trump has been pushing relentlessly for consequences for Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers over a video they made reminding servicemembers of their duty to disobey illegal orders, calling their actions “seditious” and “treason.”

Because Kelly was a senior officer who retired from the Navy, he is required to remain available for recall to the military by law.
