I have a feeling that the McCarthy Ellers sex story was/is about to be published.
It’s already been published. Ellmers attorney sent a cease & desist letter to GotNews who was not put off at all .... said they stood by their story and were looking forward to ‘discovery’ if it comes to that.
So, the attempt to scare off the published story source was a bust plus they are willing to fight in court .... then on the heels of that, there was the Jones letter, bringing up ‘ethics’ issues with anyone who would be Speaker. McCarthy saw the handwriting on the wall.
