I heard that argument pushed last night, and it won't fly.
The personal behavior of a caucus member always remains within the caucus, unless and until laws or rules are violated. In this case, it had not risen to that level until the IM's were made public.
Since the democrats had the IM's and the Republicans did not, whom do you think is responsible? Who has been withholding pertinent information?
The Dem's shielded him until the time was right to us the MSM in a way that could affect the elections on a national basis, and upset the Republican leadership at the most critical time possible.
so, where is your cite that the Democrats had the messages and held them? I've heard that said a few times. Proof?
