What gives with the McCarthy tape? – IOTW Report

What gives with the McCarthy tape?

American Thinker:
By Bill Weckesser

The newly released tape of the House minority leader suggesting the resignation of President Trump may bespeak a swamp that’s more contaminated than any of us can imagine.  First, who did the recording?  And second, who released it?  CNBC reports that Representative Liz Cheney denies leaking the tape of her conversation with Kevin McCarthy. 

A spokesperson for Cheney, one of two Republicans on the House select committee probing the Capitol riot, said in a statement Friday morning that the congresswoman “did not record or leak the tape and does not know how the reporters got it.”

Rachel Maddow played a portion of the tape in conjunction with a report on the upcoming hit piece on Trump, This Will Not Pass by Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.  They allege that on January 10, 2021, McCarthy talked privately for 45 minutes with Representatives Scalise, Cheney, and Emmer to discuss his thoughts on asking Trump to step down.  On tape, McCarthy admits that Trump resigning would be a long shot (thankfully).  But the 25th Amendment is mentioned, and that thickens the plot.

The 25th Amendment deals with the inability of the president to perform the duties of office.  This is often temporary, such as during certain medical procedures.  But not knowing who released the tape of McCarthy’s discussion opens us up to thinking about the amendment’s language to force the president from office.  The amendment has language that opens the door for Deep State mischief. more

  1. To me, he sounds like a chicken shit.
    Whichever way the wind blows, he follows.
    When he thought Trump was done, he pulled out the knife. (along with Cheney)
    When he realized Trump was a fighter, he got on his knees and presented his shitter for a pounding.

    but what do I know, I get Turdeau on the TV & Radio every Fkn Day 24/7.

    CHICKENSHIT!

  2. The Sqwaw called him a liar and a traitor. She had the right answer but got it through a democrat lens because McCarthy is nominally a Republican.

    The Sqwaw is so dumb she doesn’t recognize a true friend of liberals.

  5. That Trump! I wonder if he got McCarthy’s Topps ’68 Nolan Ryan card along with Kevin’s other concessions. You know that’s what he did to him.

    (Trump detests liars and he certainly won’t trust McCarthy again.)

  6. “… a swamp that’s more contaminated than any of us can imagine.”.

    Ya think!

    Look, I have posted right here for years that if you think you can comprehend the levels of depravity the progressive movement, or any follower of that wicked and evil worldview, can sink to… you are fooling yourself.

    Progressivism is to be a follower of the Prince of Darkness. It is widely accepted that the goodness of God is beyond human comprehension, that one can think of the ultimate goodness and virtue and still miss the mark.

    So, are people finally waking up to the fact that devotees of the Church of Satan are capable of infinite wickedness and evil? Could it be that they are finally realizing that in an effort to please the one they worship they will endeavor to emulate the one that embodies wickedness on a level that humans cannot comprehend it on that level?

    Make absolutely no mistake about it, establishment Republicans are dedicated followers of the current fashion and the current fashion is to be FDE dictated to implementing the progressive political philosophy.

    This really should come as a surprise to…. No one. When you are dedicated to progressivism, you have dedicated your life to serve The One who leaves no room for misunderstanding where he stands. Actively and openly in opposition to The Good.

  7. Look, the Goddamned establishment Republican element within the progressive movement has been given a free pass for way too long now. They may lie about what they are, but what ever happened to: It is through their acts that you shall know them. They are what they are and it’s high time Constitutional conservatives and real honest to God Christian people stop pussyfooting around with any part of this wanton, deliberate and systematic menace to all good and decent people.

  8. OK, it was a phone call between Cheney and McCarthy. Therefore, it had to be one of the two of them who recorded/released it, UNLESS it was a agency of the Democrats/Left intercepting and recording it technically outside the law. In other words, the FBI, the SS, or the Capitol Police bugging the conversation for the benefit of their masters, the Democrats/Left. Those are the only sources possible. And they are functionally above the law.

    All of those involved with the call and its recording detest the non-GOPe Republicans, President Trump, his supporters, and the American people. Arguing about who recorded it, or who released it is pointless. All of them are allied with each other against us. It is what it is. There are no good guys involved in the transaction.

  9. Just as an aside, all 5ESS, 7ESS, record all calls.

    5ESS doesn’t mean it’s a class 5 switch. A 5ESS can be used as a class 4, or 5, and anything in between.

  10. We used to have “Security Tags” on pairs from DMS, 1ESS, 5ESS, but we soon learned they all (mostly all) passed through a 5ESS at some point. You can’t call (202)222-xxxx without passing out of the DMS into the 5ESS. You see, the class 4 office in this instance is the bridge between the switches.

    The class 4 office is the 5ESS.

  11. only an asshole would be confident that 2/3rds of both houses would’ve voted to dump Trump … that’s 303 of the House & 67 of the Senate (& I do not trust the Quisling RINOs in the Senate)

    they’d have to get about 80 repubs in the House to go along … McCarthy must think he has a lot of pull … ‘effin’ shitweasel

    we get McCarthy & McConnell in Nov. we are hosed

  12. I will never understand why The President has term limits and the others don’t. Every four or right years a new president has to come in and learn how everything works. Meanwhile all of the other swamps creatures are so entrenched that they can pull the will over the new presidents eyes until they either talk him/her into the swamp or try and get rid of him/her. That’s what happen to Trump,both side were against him.
