as if there isn’t a way to capture what they’ve said and they can just change on a whim.

The GOP can't handle their own crimes, so they have to project themselves onto others.

Congressman McCarthy, on 9/29/2015, we have on tape where you spoke proudly to Sean Hannity of dropping Hillary Clinton's poll numbers through 3 years of the Benghazi special, select committee where you found no crimes nor issued no indictments, yet you call for an end to the Mueller investigation after only 2 years when he has already convicted multiple senior Trump officials for major crimes and many more under indictment. Could you please explain your hypocrisy?

See? It's a simple question?

shut down by Paul Ryan, and told "Keep it in the family" He included Putin's favorite politician (until then) Dana Rohrabacher, who was also a Russian admirer and money changer. Looks as though "someone" has put pressure on him since then, and now he tows the line. I hope Ryan is brought back to face charges of Russian money laundering, too.

[div class="excerpt"When initially asked to comment on the exchange, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Ryan, said: “That never happened,” and Matt Sparks, a spokesman for McCarthy, said: “The idea that McCarthy would assert this is absurd and false.”

After being told that The Post would cite a recording of the exchange, Buck, speaking for the GOP House leadership, said: “This entire year-old exchange was clearly an attempt at humor. No one believed the majority leader was seriously asserting that Donald Trump or any of our members were being paid by the Russians. What’s more, the speaker and leadership team have repeatedly spoken out against Russia’s interference in our election, and the House continues to investigate that activity.”

“This was a failed attempt at humor,” Sparks said.

is that he has this job because Paul Ryan tucked his tail between his legs and quit.
we will see him as a lobbyist some day I'm sure. Why doesn't Kevin do that? he's a jerk.

Expect nothing less than hypocrisy, lying, blaming others and whining like Bloaty Boo-Hoo is always doing.
