He'd be a great Senate Majority Leader and someone we need to fight back against MAGA and Fox.

All the town's bad boys know who was in on it - and they're all scrambling like little gangsters to cover each other up (complete with omertà threats).
Just like the 2008 derivatives collapse.

I think he "carried water"..
And I don't know whether Merrick was just incredibly inept......or whether he was playing for the other team as well..
