Info Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy in 2016 stated to other Congressmen they thought Trump Was On Putin's Payroll. I totally forgot about that!

I totally forgot about this but yeah in 2016 when when Russia invaded crimea, there was a meeting with house republicans just after they had gotten insights from the Ukrainain Ambassador at the time. On a hot mic, Ryan and McCarthy were caught telling the other GOP members their thoughts stating they thought Trump and a nakedly pro-russian congressman at the time called Rohrabacher were on putin's payroll. They then told the members that it was to be kept off the record and that "what's said in the family stays in the family"

I totally forgot about that story but in light of recent trump actions its coming back to mind. Wow! It's also funny to me that being a russian manchurian candidate wasn't a dealbreaker for these guys.

See the washington post description of the story (they broke it)

Read the full transcript here of what was said here. It reads like something you'd see with the Mafia:

We know full well Trump has committed treason.
Apparently Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy have as well. For not acting to defend us from the acts of treason THEY KNEW about and then assisted by their neglect and complacency.
