I really wish @washingtonpost would release the audio tape of the convo members of Congress had after the last Ukraine PM came to the US:

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher & Trump,” @GOPLeader McCarthy said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016 convo.
Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthy’s comment. Then McCarthy quickly added: “Swear to God.”

Ryan instructed his Republican lieutenants to keep the conversation private, saying: “No leaks. . . . This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

Trump initiated the discussion in recent weeks with Mr. Morrison explicitly for the purpose of requesting Australia’s help in the Justice Department review of the Russia investigation, according to the two people with knowledge of the discussion.
WTF?

"Mr. Barr requested that Mr. Trump speak to Mr. Morrison, one of the people said"

Every time Ukraine has been imperiled, there's been a common denominator--the inaction of Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy.

"Kevin had the Ukrainian prime minister this morning."
Ryan: Oh, so did I. I just left him in the health care... [unintelligible].

Okay.

Ryan: This guy's a good guy.

[Crosstalk]

Ryan: This guy's a pretty good guy.

Rodgers: Is this the guy who's been there a while?

Ryan: No, he's new. He was the speaker of the [unintelligible].
Rodgers: Their other prime minister got kicked out, right?

Ryan: Right. This guy's like the anti-corruption guy. This guy's there because he's the anti-corruption guy. He was the speaker...

Rodgers: Okay.

2015, people. Alerts were sent by our ally intel services in 2015!! “GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump & known or suspected Russian agents.” gu.com/p/69exm/stw
"The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said."
"They [the European agencies] were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’

“The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.’

McCARTHY: There’s two people, I think, Putin pays – Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God.

RYAN: This is an off the record [laughter] NO LEAKS...alright?! This is how we know we’re a real family.

SCALISE: That’s how you know that we’re tight.
-Never forget-
JUN 15, 2016, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy to Paul Ryan, @SteveScalise, and other GOP: "There’s...there’s two people, I think, Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump...swear to God."

@Evan_McMullin was there and confirmed it was not a joke.
wapo.st/2pY7eFF
Per @Evan_McMullin: One senior GOP leader [that's you, @GOPLeader!] dolefully informed his peers that he thought Trump was on the Kremlin’s payroll and had been compromised by Russian intelligence. Other GOP leaders were surprised but did not dispute him.

Republicans Knew Trump Was Getting Help From Putin, Laughed It Off And Vowed To Keep It A Secret.“This is an off the record” “No leaks, all right?” Ryan said, adding: “This is how we know we’re a real family here” - Washington Post Reported politicaldig.com/top-republican…
“I’ll guarantee you that’s what it is. The Russians hacked the DNC and got the opp research that they had on Trump” McCarthy said with a laugh.“There’s . . . there’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, drawing some laughter. “Swear to God”

"The exchange shows that the Republican leadership in the House privately discussed Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election and Trump’s relationship to Putin, but wanted to keep their concerns secret."

Hold on. What? There's a new FBI indictment with....Paul Manafort & DANA ROHRABACHER! Not only Putin's favourite congressman but mine too! Time to pull out the photo they tried to delete...here with the one & only Mr Nigel Farage!
Brits: you need to get with Rohrabacher. This is his Mueller debut. But you know the schlubby guy who's just sitting at a bar in episode 1...?
politico.com/story/2016/11/…
Farage met Rohrabacher when he was out in California to work on Calexit. Which - fyi - was revealed to be a Russian influence operation. So. Nothing to see here. Nope.

1) Why does NO ONE talk about what is LITERALLY between the lines of this story?
washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2) Yes, yes. "There's two people, I think, Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," spoken by the House majority deal is a big deal. But I think there's something MUCH bigger and potentially more damning here that I have not heard a single person mention.
3) After all, McCarthy's statement is conjecture, followed by laughter. And how revealing was it really? I mean anyone who was paying attention at the time could have made the same argument.
