What if McCarthy is a snitch?

The list of congress critters that voted against him contains several insurrectionists and criminals. If he has been cooperating with the DOJ or J6, the lawyers for the criminals would probably know that and have informed their client. So maybe they are blocking him to protect themselves?

I think most of these guys are thinking with their nuts not their brains. Lauren Boebert notwithstanding

Occam's Razor: the much simpler fact of the idiocy of the 19 is all that is needed to explain their votes.

They think McCarthy is a RINO because he talks to Democrats.

quite a valid speculation. He's is slimier than he looks and if he is cooperating, it is only to save his own ass. That mtg had to browbeat him into her concessions/demands and that gaetz and boo boo are against him makes me think that might be so.

They might not be real smart but they are calculating and the part about them possibly going to prison, they will find every avenue that takes them away from that possibility. The only way they can stay out of prison is to remain in power and never let go using every corrupt option that suits them.

If kevin is a snitch, he's toast. They will skin him alive, slowly. As fmr. Rep Jolly said yesterday, he'll probably be gone before his term is up.

on matters of national security, as far as I have read. The opposition party does have certain rights to know voting schedules, submit bills at times ... so yeah, Kev is all those things.

With these extreme views, so maybe they did find out he's flipped to save his skin.
