Sleepless in DC

We all know that there is infighting within the GOP over a myriad of things. But now there's something new thrown into the mix that is undoubtedly causing increased tension between warring factions.

You can't help but wonder how much distrust now exists between Republicans as to who among them not only recorded phone conversations, but leaked the audiotapes.

How many GOPers are now eyeing each other as potential traitors to their colleagues, or their party as a whole?

How many Republicans are in a sweat wondering who they can trust within their own ranks, and who might be willing to throw them under the bus in order to save their own asses, or in pursuit of their own political advantage?

What happens when even members of the we've got each other's backs coalitions start disintegrating because someone in their inner circle has obviously gone rogue?

The first rule of the GOP Fight Club has been broken - because members of that club are not only talking about it, they're providing indisputable evidence of its existence.

Is there a Republican left who still trusts any other Republican? It's doubtful.

No one knows who voluntarily came forward to testify before the January 6th committee. No one knows what they said.

And no one knows who handed over those audiotapes - the ones we've already heard, and the ones yet to be revealed.

scratching out a sad sad song of sympathy for all those Republicans now side-eying each other.
