re: Matt Gaetz Interview/Celebration with Steve Bannon- Dirty Details

Yea I listened to the audio again. McHenry was clearly working with McCarthy to scuttle Johnson.

After the flameout of Emmer, Molinaro stands up and says let's do a roll call on the guy who finished second, Mike Johnson. Stefanik says the rules prevent that. Molinaro says then I move to waive the rules through unanimous consent, anyone have a problem with doing this? And McCarthy says I object to the roll call.

So a three hour delay follows. McCarthy and his gaggle of GOPe RINOs want and need delay. They have nothing on Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson has been flying under the radar. They need time to scuttle him. They begin working on it. They need more time. McHenry goes to the floor and gives them more time by recessing the House til next day. That's what McCarthy and his gaggle wanted; they wanted to stop any quick movement of unity behind Mike Johnson. They needed time to drive the daggers in him by getting to other people. McHenry gave them that time. Molinaro's move for an immediate roll call on Mike Johnson is scuttled. They have to wait a day now.

The next day McCarthy and his gaggle, after working all night, think they have done enough dirty work and made enough dirty promises and bribes to scuttle Mike Johnson. They're hoping for a 100 votes. They get what, 40 or 30. Then the move is made to go on the record. No secret voting. So now McCarthy and his gaggle, afraid of having to publicly go on the record against Mike Johnson, have to vote for Mike Johnson to maintain their phony facade.
