Elaine Chao..................The turtle’s wifey............
I think Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) are in the coup up to their eyeballs.
Both of them have a problem that the Democrats don’t, which is that if they are found out they are ruined.
I think the deal went down like this: There was a meeting of the swamp creatures in January 2017. They ruled out assassination, or reserved it as a last resort.
They realized that, although Trump was a tough guy and a man of the world, even he did not appreciate how deep the rot went or how much the two “enemies” on the Hill worked together.
They came up with the Mueller idea. They were pretty sure Trump could be provoked to do something that would provide a reason, no matter how flimsy, to appoint Mueller.
Ryan (Romney) promised that, IF Mueller could deliver him a fig leaf, that he could whip the necessary 25 GOP Members to send Articles to the Senate. In the beginning, Ryan (Romney) was quite sure this would be forthcoming, but he lost his nerve and is resigning.
McConnell (Bush) has had the 19 GOP Senators he needs to convict in his pocket from the beginning. Remember what Corker said when he announced that he was not running again? I sure do.
On September 25, 2017, after saying he wouldn’t run again, he said, I also believe the most important public service I have to offer our country could well occur over the next 15 months, and I want to be able to do that as thoughtfully and independently as I did the first 10 years and nine months of my Senate career
Now what “most important public service” between September 2017 and January 2019 do you suppose he was referring to? Why would he need to be “thoughtful and independent” to do it?
Well, if he were planning to stab Trump in the back before the November 2018 elections, he certainly could not be re-elected, and so his “independence” would be very important.
The Republican leadership has failed, failed, FAILED to support or defend their President. They lack the courage to oppose him openly, but if he falls from the unrelenting assault that they permit by their inaction, they certainly won’t shed a tear.
They disgust me.
The turtle got very uptight last night when Bret Baier brought up the editorial. Later on, Baier made a comment that maybe it was a woman.
