Trump, McCarthy say relationship is intact after recordings about Jan. 6

Source: The Hill

During the call, McCarthy said that if he was impeached, he would advise Trump to resign.

“What I think I’m going to do, is I’m going to call him,” McCarthy said, according to the recording. “The only discussion I would have with him is that I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign. I mean, that would be my take, but I don’t think he would take it. But I don’t know.”

McCarthy had previously denied telling colleagues Trump should resign.

Trump told the Journal that once McCarthy found out “the facts,” he changed his stance.

And what "the evidence" of "the facts" is enumerated in detail...

60 judges tossed "the facts" out of their court rooms saying there was no evidence shown to them to rule otherwise.

I will never understand how these spineless fucks can bend and cower to that criminal piece of garbage. For a long time I thought that if just one or two of them suddenly grew a spine, others would follow. But they end up sucking his dick again and again. Why?

possibly -- as TFG is by Putin. It all goes back to two things: TFG being enamored from the start (naybe due to his dad's influence? but certainly Cohn) with and pursuing the power of the "mob", and Russia.

...all these fuckers are compromised by it? Like, maybe a majority of the Rs now "serving" in Congress? And that's what he has on them? They're financed through Putin, and if one falls, they all go down?

Seems plausible.

Don't they always say "follow the money?" Maybe someone needs to start a forensic evaluation of the RNC's finances.

as well as evidence to prove it on very many Repuqs. There's no question he has leverage that goes far beyond the norms in my mind.

"... he has leverage that goes far beyond the norms ..."

Because every time one of these corrupt motherfuckers finds a spine, he somehow turns it back to jelly. I am dying to know what he holds over them all.
