1. Oh this is going to be soooo funny

I wonder if Foxworld will be allowed to know about this. Yeah probably - it's full attack Ryan time now.

2. Ouch. That will sting a bit.

But it's amazing how the Republicans leaving office are the only ones who feel free to speak.

8. There's nothing amazing about it, of course.

Those who hope to keep their jobs aren't going to alienate the base. Martha Roby faces a runoff election because she said she wouldn't support Trump following the release of the Access Hollywood tape.

3. He knows what they did,

And he's desperately trying to act like he didn't know anything. I would bet he's already been found out by the special prosecutor, and along with Mitch. They are probably pretty worried they'll too be exposed.

4. Even Howdy Gowdy and Paul Ryan agree that spygate is bogus

5. He can say that all he wants...

But until he and McConnel fucking DO something to make sure the investigation continues and tell the bloviating idiots like Nunes to drink a cup of Shut the Fuck Up, he's worthless.

He's worthless anyways.

6. A tale told by an Idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

7. Another perspective.

While I distrust all repubicons they do control the 3 branches of government. Fortunately they are not coordinated as a prez more competent than trump could coordinate. That being said, for several characters as odious as mcconnell, ryan, and Grassley to make noises and test the winds by speaking against tariffs, for the fbi work on Russia gate, etc. suggests something may be stirring in the back chambers of Congress. Nothing on high principle of course, in their own interest of course, but possibly useful for some trump curbs nevertheless. Then again, probably nothing much will come of it, but if we can keep our minds open, we might spot some opportunity.

9. Then he needs to put an end to Nunes' appauling attempt to obstruct Mueller and the investigation!
