The reason Rep. Kevin McCarthy abruptly pulled his name from the running for the job as House speaker Thursday may be exactly as he explained – his untoward comments attributing a political purpose to a House committee investigating Benghazi.
Or it may have been something else – as speculation swirled on Thursday about an alleged affair with another member of Congress.
And if that was the case, one report is suggesting people look to the Obama administration for a level of involvement.
Because the trail could link back to the administration’s Department of Homeland Security.

If he is blackmail-able, he has no business being Speaker. And it isn’t the administration’s fault. If not them, it would be the Chinese or Russkies.
If it was dhs, it was a true patriot, not an obama supporter. Or he did good by accident. I am sooooo psyched McCarthy is out! Woooohoooo!!!!
Now Motion to Vacate! Dump the drunk weepy cheeto—NOW!!!
It’s part of the effort to keep Boehner is place.
correction
It’s part of the effort to keep Boehner IN place.
REPORT: Paul Ryan to jump in Speaker race

multiple sources tell National Review that Ryan is, at the very least, considering the job.
“I’m told he’ll sleep on it,” says a source close to Ryan.
Two additional Republican sources say Ryan has in fact made up his mind, and that he will jump in the race.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable of the law will chime in?
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo to Ryan
Yeah...I’m thinking blackmail to get McCarthy to withdraw. Liberal scum.
I suspect we’re not going to get a real conservative.
So, I’ll settle for a somewhat conservative Speaker.
So far, all we’ve had it True Liberals.
As for Ryan... he's in. Evening news interviews with Freedom Caucus folks gave the definite impression they'd support his candidacy. Now, as to what they'll demand, that remains to be seen.
I sincerely doubt McCarthy will hold onto the Majority Leader position.
I doubt McCarthy will, as well.
They are all either paid off, blackmailed or both.
<< I suspect we’re not going to get a real conservative. >>
A conservative is not going to be elected because there are not the numbers to pull such a thing off.
There are a block of conservative votes who can block a blockhead like Boehner/McCarthy from becoming Speaker, who would go on ignoring the conservatives desire for a voice and a seat at the table, but they can not actually elect one of their own in the House without a majority.
Whoever wins will be promising conservatives a little more respect than the GOPE has been willing to give them. They liked the circumvention of the whole body, not bringing votes, and keeping the power among a few in the smokey back room.
YOU are absolutely correct. We are not going to get a real conservative..... YET!
I imagine they would be to some extent. They’d be stupid not to get involved.
If you can sow discord and chaos into your enemy’s formation, then do it.
Nurse Ellmers will give McCarthy medical assistance...
Paul Amnesty Ryan is owned by Sheldon Adelson , the Vegas Cheap Foreign Labor Billionaire / Disaster who has destroyed this country
Adelson forced Romney to put his Sock Puppet on the ticket
, In fact, Ryan is possible the Worst outcome , Ryan LIED repeatedly to all of us about Amnesty was in that TPP treason treaty ! http://universalfreepress.com/paul-ryan-trust-me-and-my-buddy-bob-theres-no-obama-amnesty-in-the-tpp-at-this-moment/# p Adelson will own the House with Ryan as House Puppet !
Ryan The Adelson puppet lied again and again and again and again about amnesty being buried in the TPP treason treaty !
It would be illogical for this regime to want to thwart having McCarthy as speaker - he will give Obama everything he wants, just as Boohoo did.
