Secret CIA source claims Russia rigged 2016 election

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.

How the hell am I supposed to get any work done, when this circus is going 24/7?

Remember back when there was a ‘news cycle?’

That Lin tweet produced actual, out-loud laughter. Perfect.

Paul Ryan. Man of principal.

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
