The fuck is this all about?
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016 exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.
Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthy’s comment. Then McCarthy quickly added: “Swear to God.”
Ryan instructed his Republican lieutenants to keep the conversation private, saying: “No leaks…This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

Does that mean someone left the family? Please play the tape, and then use it in the next campaign Ryan has.
White House given only a 30 minute heads-up on the Mueller appointment.
That’s a pretty strong sign.
Mueller, btw, championed Comey’s career at the FBI.

Holy cow – that’s not hearsay. There’s a recording. Unless everyone laughs and it’s obviously a joke, that makes Ryan look even worse than he does now. Which is amazing.
Kevin McCarthy sleeps with the fishes?
… Dammit, they need to slow it down with the leaks and developments. I can’t keep up.
Yep, practically every time I refresh WaPo or NYT or Reddit, there’s some new development.

Far too fast.
A year from now, Trump may be bragging that he completed his four year term in 10 months.
Also, I wonder if we’ll ever hear from Mike Pence again. They’ll try to keep him ‘clean,’ just in case.

Gonna guess that Paul Manafort is looking at real estate in countries without extradition treaties with the US.

If it was a joke, why swear everyone to secrecy?
Everyone knows inside jokes are WAY funnier (for example, you go girl.)

I never said that!
We have a tape of you saying that.
I didn’t mean it!
Holy shit, fuck all this noise.
I appologize for ever suggesting that Paul Ryan had principles.
If there is a single person in the country who I truly believe has zero principles, it’s Paul Ryan.
Franken 2020.
e: or, shit, maybe 2017?
NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANY MORE
