This guy really didnāt want to cram hours of extra-curricular āvolunteerā work into the already hectic job of managing communications for an ambitious Rep. Canāt say I blame him. That work can be grueling. But itās funny to see these details that look like such a bright line arrow directed at McMorris-Rodgers with an investigation completely stalled out.
I wonder if Winer hurt himself by trying to minimize damage to the Party. The Party is like the Mafia, Todd - it will always be bigger than you, and it will always value its reputation over your work.
My guess? He was disgruntled and either fired or quit soon after the leadership race. McMorris-Rodgers stymied his career options after that while she insulated herself with high profile pols who have been around the Capitol for a long time. He popped back up a few times; she swatted him back down a few times.
An ethics complaint is a long shot with a smoking gun, but now weāve got (1) a pedantic scandal, against (2) a prominent but largely unknown scalp outside the Beltway, whose (3) staff may have had plenty of time to close ranks on the āTodd was a doofusā defense. Todd Winer helped McMorris-Rodgers for a time, but that relationship was transactional. Now that heās burned her, sheāll burn him back, a hundred times hotter. And his last hope is that this West Texan from Midland (House Ethics Committee Chair) decides to go knives out for Republican leadership.
Good luck.

And youāre looking McMorris in the face.
Considering her reputation for completely fabricating false evidence against Obamacare, this is right up her alley.
As far as Republican heroes go, she is another one with huge stains. Like Christie, stick a fork in her, except not quite as big a fork, because they are done.
We are going to get gifted Ryand the Plagiarizer Paul as the Repub/Lib/Bagger candidate for 2016. This is awesome.
Olā Cathy is a āmean girlāā¦ala Ms. Palin. She is nasty. I live in Washington and am SO GLAD Iām not in her district.

It amounts to nothing, of course, because of the GOP majority in the House. Just like when Doc Hastings, our other POS Rethug from east of the Cascades, was tasked with investigating Tom DeLay.

She plays the phony image of mom & apple pie. Behind the scenes, just another ruthless, useless ideologue
