“Your Honor, we offer Exhibit 'A' into evidence.”

New audio just played on CNN from that GOP leadership call on Jan. 11 2021:

Kevin McCarthy says Trump "bears responsibility for his words and actions" related to Jan. 6.

McCarthy then follows up: Trump "told me he does have some responsibility for what happened."

CNN just broadcast new audio of McCarthy unambiguously blaming Trump for the January 6 attack during a House Republican Conference call on January 11, 2021. In the audio, McCarthy also claims Trump acknowledged to him that he bears responsibility for January 6.

Piece by piece the lines of the map become completed.

3. Thanks for posting a link to the audio!

4. The Repubes all knew, even the Top O' Their Shit Heap

The BigTime Casino-Slickster KGOP Skeezy-Cheesy Hustler put into motion the evil, violent attack on truth, America, the American people, and American democracy.

And all the weak-willed, amoral Republicans fell into line, and violently attacked America, and then tried to blame others for their own evil thoughts and actions.

Skuzzy. Super-skuzzy.

All the Republican traitors deserve justice. Lock them up.

From the linked article:

"Said Martin: “We have a lot more on tape from this period, which is at the highest levels of American politics.”

The paranoia TFG spread is coming back to bite all repugs... Makes me smile

6. Where's the 18 minutes! (I mean 7 hours)

[underpants]

7. Trump the question as "You are great. They danced like monkeys for you"

To which Trump answered “Yes. Yes I am. Yes they did”

8. Transcript from Newsweek:

https://www.newsweek.com/what-kevin-mccarthy-tape-says-donald-trump-full-audio-transcript-1699953

Cheney: Is there any chance? Are you hearing that he might resign? Is there any reason to think that might happen?

McCarthy: I've had a few discussions. My gut tells me no. I'm seriously thinking of having that conversation with him tonight. I haven't talked to him in a couple of days.

Um, from what I know of him, I mean you guys all know him too, do you think he'd ever back away? But what I think I'm going to do, is I'm going to call him.

This, this is what I think. We know it'll pass the House. I think there's a chance it'll pass the Senate, even when he's gone. Um, and I think there's a lot of different ramifications for that.

Now, I haven't had a discussion with the Dems, that if he did resign, would that happen?

Now, this is one personal fear I have. I do not want to get into any conversation about Pence pardoning.

Again, the only discussion I would have with him is that I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign. Um, I mean that would be my take. But I don't think he would take it. But I don't know.

Transcript ends.

11. Massaging the truth

so no one even remembers the question

9. The over-under

The over-under on how long it takes for McCarthy to say his comments were taken out of context?

[llashram]

10. it seems that

outside of the 3 Republicans willing to stand against the Republican Party fuhrer, we now have the fascist racist majority in lockstep with TPOSFG. Very racist since Nixon, in my opinion. Kept themselves outside of that branding by using language designed to appeal to the racists(dog whistle language), but to appear not to the general public. R. Reagan's remarks about African U.N. delegates in conversation with Nixon in 1971 were and are the true Republikkkan mentality. And he always felt disparagingly racist against American African Americans even as Governor of California.

McCarthy is a typical Republican POS liar, probably paid off or threatened with exposure of some sin by d. trump. Or it's the fact that these types are just trying to cash in on the grift that d. trump can raise from his mindless hordes out here.

12. It's great as a PR piece, and could definitely so some serious dissension in those circles.

But I'm not sure it has much penitentiary value. Is it not merely hearsay without TFG's voice on said tape?

[Ocelot II]

14. Might fall under one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule.

Rule 803. Exceptions to the Rule Against Hearsay

The following are not excluded by the rule against hearsay, regardless of whether the declarant is available as a witness:

(1) Present Sense Impression. A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it.

(2) Excited Utterance. A statement relating to a startling event or condition, made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement that it caused.

(3) Then-Existing Mental, Emotional, or Physical Condition. A statement of the declarant’s then-existing state of mind (such as motive, intent, or plan) or emotional, sensory, or physical condition (such as mental feeling, pain, or bodily health), but not including a statement of memory or belief to prove the fact remembered or believed unless it relates to the validity or terms of the declarant’s will.

15. Thank you for the info!

16. McCruddy called tRump this morning apologizing all over himself & tRump forgave him

according to the Hartmann Show.

[Achilleaze]

17. Republicans happy to GROVEL for goodies

Republicans groveled for Russia, and they groveled for a Casino Hustler, and of course they always supplicate and grovel for grifty gifties.

[yaesu]

18. Yeah, they are a pretty disgusting bunch. I guess tRump forgave McCruddy & all is good. nt

[sdfernando]

21. TIDFG doesn't forgive

he will put it in his back pocket for repeated future use.

Forgiveness is for the weak not strong manly men like him

OK..I have to go puke my guts out now.

22. Who cares? It's not going to change a thing

The only use I can see for making a big deal out of this is that it's going to enrage the orange motherfucker. Otherwise it means nothing. Nothing will be done, it's far too late to be used for the second impeachment when it may have been of use. More proof of republicans being lying motherfuckers, what else is new?
