Like Trump they were listening to the other guy and you just popped up Fucker. They weren't listening to you but they heard you. So Sad for your privilege to have to endure.

And this was prior to the 2016 election. God only knows what he knew about and now knows about the 1/6/21 attempted coup.
McCarthy called Trump on 1/6/21 and asked for Trump to "call off the dogs" and Trump refused.

**********

In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee’s computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

In the Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

And then, amid more laughter, Ryan says, “This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

Should be front page news on every newspaper in America. He's basically saying get in line behind the orange
monster and support him or else we're gonna hurt you. This how politics is supposed to work?

Why did it suddenly become an American priority to investigate the NSA?

Who decided it is a major problem for the NSA to monitor communications between Americans and foreign agents?

Could it be...Putin?

Once again, Republicans impede progress in our own country and instead do the bidding of Putin.
