I know somebody who runs a black car service (limo) that has wheeled around several high ranking married repected members of Congress (one a married conservative Republican)and heard the stories about what went on with these people and their young female staffers.Political corruption and sexual deviance seems to go together, no wonder these politicians are leading us all to hell in a handbasket.

Obviously that or some other kind of durable evidence worth millions of dollars existed.

I just wonder who else is being blackmailed. This sort of thing could explain a lot.
That call was actually from this past November. very telling. Hastert looked unnerved
Boehner and McConnell. I wouldn’t doubt they both sucked @#$2 or took it up the back side to get where they are now.
If they were men of Character they would have stood up to the Islamic Imposter a long time ago.
I know the LA Times mentioned this on Twitter last night. Considering the story is less than 24 hrs it did not take long for leaks from government sources.
One of the things the Republican House, Senate, and White House didn’t get done was removing abortion from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
Simple majority vote, signature of the President, and Roe, Doe, and Casey are all nullified.
