Sure seems like Fox News Sunday/Chris Wallace knows something here.

He’s now asked Kevin McCarthy and Liz Cheney about a conversation between Trump and McCarthy where the two may have tried to “get their story straight” about Jan. 6 calls

Raises prospect of “witness tampering.”

1. Wallace is pushing this line

of 'tampering.' But -- neither clip here gives any re-enforcement to the claim. In particular, Cheney (whom we assume to be about as adversarial as is available in the party) refuses to go down that hole. Party loyalty? Ducking the question? Or she too doesn't see anything she would characterize as 'tampering?' 'Maybe Wallace does know something --- but he is not getting an confirmation here.

9. There are legalities here.

I wouldn't go down that hole either.

2. OK, then

the other option is that McCarthy decided on his own to change his story.

3. McCarthy went down to see Trump in Florida

They had plenty of time to get their stories to match.

New details about Trump-McCarthy shouting match show Trump refused to call off the rioters

In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the US Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did.

"Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.

McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump's supporters and begged Trump to call them off.
Trump's comment set off what Republican lawmakers familiar with the call described as a shouting match between the two men. A furious McCarthy told the then-President the rioters were breaking into his office through the windows, and asked Trump, "Who the f--k do you think you are talking to?" according to a Republican lawmaker familiar with the call.

6. I assume the NSA has the phone conversation in one of their

databases somewhere. Somebody somewhere knows the details.

7. There are less than 20 Republicans protecting their party and the Constitution

The rest are deep in it.

8. Anyone who thinks Trump didn't threaten McCarthy if he didn't toe the line is delusional.

10. I still think that there is a "Red Phone" direct hotline between Trump and McCarthy.

Trump is directing everything that McCarthy says and does.
