1/ McConnell most certainly does not want to launch the Molly Hemingway/Donald Trump/Maga Horde idea to drag Obama and his administration before the Senate to investigate them over “Obamagate.”

2/ Potential downsides are enormous. Trump allies in the Senate chasing their dicks while we’re in the middle of Great Depression 2 and COVID is a terrible look, Collins, McSally, Gardner, and even Tillis in the line of fire when none of them can afford it.

6/ ... have conditioned then to hate one thing more than Democrats or brown people.
The worst possible enemy in their mind is a Republican who doesn’t obey trumps wishes.

7/ Ends.
8/ P.S. The Obamagate play is also VERY much about @parscale keeping his job, which is VERY much in danger from Corey and others closing in for the kill and a weakening relationship with Jared.
