I think it is pretty offensive to say Mike Pence acts like a butler at Mar-A-LardAss, when everyone knows he’s the men’s room attendant.

This is exactly right. There’s something about distance and incorporeality that leads to conceiving it as more of a prank than an assault. Imagine if a squad from the Russian army backed a truck up to DNC headquarters, bashed their way in, and took an equivalent collection of files and materials. Act of war!

Along the same lines, recall the NYT report that, according to the DHS, the Russians had engaged in “a series of cyberattacks that targeted American and European nuclear power plants and water and electric systems, and could have sabotaged or shut power plants off at will.” This started in 2015, under Obama, and continued to 2017 at least. Barely discussed after the original article. Now we’re getting existential.

McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

And then, amid more laughter, Ryan says, “This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

“That’s how you know that we’re tight,” Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, says.

“What’s said in the family stays in the family,” Ryan concludes.

And with all we’ve found out since then, it kind of brings more to an understanding of why Ryan was so concerned at the time.

Hard to resist all that money and secret assistance in the election, wasn’t it Paul? Downright impossible.

Also helps explain why he’s letting Nunes play his games with the committee.

It was the Messiranians. Iranian anchor babies in Mexico who snuck over the border illegally and then swam to Pearl Harbor.
