The depth of backstabbing to get power in GQP is something we just can’t comprehend. And funded by the most powerful people in the world. McConnell works for them. Trumps most vicious attacks on McConnell have come during the committees work though, not so much before.
I felt like Thursday’s hearing left out some direct attacks on Meadows, not as hard on him as they did on the FlynnStones, and a few others. He should be right there with trump, as he has been since leaving NC. He should be facing as much consequences as trump, (should be) so just maybe he is terrified of what he is facing and sees trump will toss him. And for that he is secretly cooperating. And it’s being kept quite to keep him alive, for now.
McConnell should use his power, trump even attacked his wife. And that’s the only person that can stand McConnell.
