Who is recording who? I actually wonder if Trump knows Comey knows of recordings and put him on notice that the spying on Trump is known and can be uncovered. And, yes, I hope he recorded the weasel Comey. He’s perjured himself to Congress, this would further out him as a liar.

It’s a guarantee everything in D.C. is recorded.


If true, it means that Congress-critters are going to have to live like the characters in 1984 or the upper echelons of Stalin’s Soviet Union—always assuming that they are being watched/recorded. How far we’ve come since I was a kid in the 50s and we as a people were against that sort of thing.

Probably because McMuffin is a Never Trumper and so are the others.

“...I think the plan is to get Ryan to Presidency....”

IF they ever managed to pull that stunt off, Eddie Munster wouldn’t last a week.

If one tells the truth it shouldn’t matter. Exposed them as lying hypocrites

Anyone on line should expect everything to be recorded too.

Any public person in government or in business has to assume that anything he says is being recorded and a joke recorded without context becomes a deadly serious expression of intention or relationship.

Its occurred to me that rather than having a leaker that maybe the White House itself is bugged.

I think you are missing an important point. The left will cut and dice what is said to make their points.

If a Congresscritter says. “It is ridiculous to say that Trump is guilty of collusion with the Russians”, what will be played and pushed on the media will be “Trump is guilty of collusion with the Russians.

Truth is not a complete defense against these tactics. The perpetrators have to be exposed and discredited, possible prosecuted.

These were private gatherings. The real question is who in your caucus is recording and then leaking? I put money on this being someone who doesn’t like Trump. There is an off hand chance that someone is out to get Kevin...which is probably wise

I think you are right.

Who is suspected of “leaking” this secret conversation that was recorded on June 15, 2016, none other than Evan McMullin. In August 2016, McMullin launched a presidential campaign in the 2016 election for President of the United States, as an independent candidate. Things that make you say hmmm.

Just who was paying McMullin to record secret Republican meetings? McMullin has been pushing this “Russian Connection” for a long time. President Trump needs to find out just who is behind McMullin. From Wikipedia “In a February 2017 op-ed, McMullin wrote that “President Trump’s disturbing Russian connections present an acute danger to American national security.” He called upon congressional Republicans to “recommit to patriotic prudence” and “demand that Attorney General Jeff Sessions appoint an independent special counsel to investigate Russia’s assault on American democracy and Mr. Trump’s possible collusion with the Kremlin.”

Have you read the transcript from the “secret meeting”? Linked here http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/national/read-the-transcript-of-the-conversation-among-gop-leaders-obtained-by-the-post/2209/

The transcript of the meeting includes one very curious statement from Paul Ryan, discussing his meeting with the Ukrainian Prime Minister. He is saying what Russia is doing to Ukraine is what they are doing to us, “financing our populists, financing people in our governments to undo our governments, you know messing with our oil and gas energy, you know all the things Russia does to basically blow up our country.”

Cathy McMorris Rodgers emphatically says “Yes!”

Meanwhile the conversation was most likely recorded by Evan McMullin who is pushing the Russian connection. Talk about propaganda.

Anyone on capital hill should expect everything to be recorded. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t.


Method of secure conversations are not unknown.
