NYT: McCarthy and House/Senate pubs tried to convince DJT to resign after Jan 6

[outside shooter]

Of course, McCarthy today said it is a lie and that absolutely never happened.

Well, the NYT reporters came on Rachel Maddow and brought with them the audio tape, which they played.

The tape is McCarthy talking with Liz Cheney about Trump and

1)If he could be removed from office by the 25th amendment
2) If not that, whether there was enough GOP votes against DJT to make him lose the impeachment trial. They thought it likely.
3) whether the cleaner way for the party would be to convince Trump to resign, immediately.

McCarthy promised Cheney that he would call Trump and recommend that he resign.

Yes, it's on audiotape.

They say there are many other tapes, including Mitch McConnell discussing how "we might finally be rid of that @sshole, and the Democrats are going to do it for us"

and Mitch saying that if DJT is not convicted during impeachment, then what could a president ever do to be convicted

Juicy.

The NYT book comes out in 2 weeks.

And wasn’t Liz Chaney kicked out of leadership just a few weeks later for saying what McCarthy did? No wonder she is mad. I’ve always wondered what Trump told McCarthy he has on him or bribed him with after that meeting they had at Maralargo.

17 Republican Senators were apparently at first committed to convicting Trump in the 2nd impeachment, getting them to two thirds.

Somehow, enough of them were turned that it was $ure to fall $hort of two thirds, and most of the rest caved in as well.

17...that's the amount of fbi and doj officials that were fired and led to the Durham investigation. Get your sh!t together.

You would analyze his toilet paper to find something if you could. You are so transparent about your viscous hatred. Tell us all what did Trump actually did to you, To you personally , to cause this?

I find catching a politician lying through his or her teeth is quite entertaining, no matter their political leanings.

Not sure why the Trumpsters are getting upset about this. Is it really news that McCarthy and McConnell secretly hated him and wanted him gone? Goddamn RINOs. I thought that was all common knowledge.

It's a cult. Anything negative about their leader and they freak out. Get disturbingly defensive. Like you're insulting them personally.

Typically they
1. Change the subject 2. Lie about something that's hard to prove 3. Change the subject again. They also throw in a few insults. The good ones insult while lying and changing the subject all at the same time. Its actually impressive if not sad.

The NYTs is the same biased news organization that lied about Hunter‘s Laptop.

It is sad to see these guys jump on here and in no way acknowledge the actual original post. But plenty of yah but posts and laughing emojis.

Amazing the power one man can have over his sheep. The kind of power that has them flying flags and wearing shirts with his name, even in non-election years.

McCarthy knew after Jan 6 what every clear-thinking person knew - - that Trump had to go.

The fact that there's audio of him talking with Liz Cheney about the 25h amendment and stating he was going to urge Trump to resign will almost certainly cost him the Speaker gig - - unless he makes another trip to Mar-A-Lago on bended knee. Or, perhaps this time, he'll need to go down on two knees.

What a loser.

 

[Bowlmania]

I'm hoping there's more audio coming of other lying Trump loyalists. They all knew he was a POS, but later decided to spin the narrative to preserve their own political careers. Disgraceful doesn't even begin to describe it.

The Hill’s Morning Report – Audio puts McCarthy in hot water

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has a Trump problem. Late Thursday night, audio emerged of McCarthy on Jan. 10, 2021 saying he considered asking former President Trump to resign in …

It's sickening because, except for Jordan and a few other wackos, these guys fully understood the magnitude of Trump's misconduct and wanted him gone. But, except for Cheney, Kinzinger and a handful of others, they cowardly caved. And Cheney and Kinzinger, because they have integrity, a backbone and stuck to their guns, have now been rebuked and ostracized by the party.

There was clearly a realistic opportunity to kick Trump's sorry fat ass to the curb, but the cowards in Republican leadership fvcked it up.

I wish (hope?) they have tape of Mitch, too.

 

[outside shooter]

I wonder if it was Liz Cheney who made the tapes and gave them to the NYT

 

[outside shooter]

They clearly alluded to that on the Rachel Maddow show, that other facts that they presented yesterday (and that were denied by lying politicians) are backed by other audio tapes that will be released, when necessary.

In a lot of ways I think all this makes McCarthy much worse than people like MTG, Gym Jordan and the other crazies. He knew better and still went in with the crazies. The crazies just like to make up rhymes about Biden and his son's laptop, vaccines and masks and are confident they've done their job for the day.

I’m surprised there is not more Trump related audio tape floating around.

Recording private conversations will forever be a sucker move.

His opinions on democrats are legit, our opinions on Trump are nothing more than "vicious hatred"

I'm sure your post about him is "viscous hatred"

Two Republican congressional leaders talking about the 25th amendment and wanting the leader of their party, a sitting US president, to resign. Nothing to see here.

I don't even see any 'Trumpsters' posting about it. Why would they be upset?
