I don’t care.

Wonder if the illicit Capitol Hill cheating sex is even better when the whole country knows you are doing it.

Why do congress people cheat more than Hollywood actors?

...they should both retire. after all, bill quit the presidential race after numerous and credible accusations of rape.

The Washington Post yawned with a credible RAPE charge against Bill Clinton...because they're democrat filth too...

The Post and New York Times were equally biased with in their treatment of Hillary and Petraeus too.

We need to 'do a Trump and Carson' and not back down. Tell the press to 'eff off if they have one standard for their corrupt pals and a different standard for those who aren't 'teacher's pets'... I'm amazed journalist can stay in the profession... or look in a mirror.

“Kevin, why not resign like Bob Livingston?” the email’s subject line read, according to HuffPost. The reference was to a Louisiana Republican who resigned in 1998 over an extramarital affair after being designated as the successor to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA).”

You don't resign these days for having an extramarital affair!

Oh wait, these are Republicans.

Never mind.

The possibility of a double resignation was discussed at the Media Research Center (MRC) dinner by several lobbyists and reporters who cite Daily Caller editor-in-chief Tucker Carlson as their source. (UPDATE: A previous version of this article stated that Carlson was at the dinner; he says he was not.)

Thanks. Sounds like he very well could have his ear to the ground.

Ellmers apparently ran and won as a “pro-family Christian”.

Well that’s out the window. Guess she may as well go back to nursing.

There has been speculation that many of the bizarre and inexplicabe behaviors and the outright support of the Obama agenda we have been seeing coming out of Republican lawmakers in Washington is that many, if not most, key members of Congress are being blackmailed by the Obama Administration or it's surrogates.

The fact that McCarthy and Ellmers, who have been members of the Republican Obama enablers club in the House, are publicly exposed by DHS sources for adultery with days of McCarthy's announcement he was running for the House Speaker position, suggests that he may have been being blackmailed over this issue for quite some time but now that McCarthy was a potential Speaker, whoever has been blackmailing him has determined that there is more value in destroying him than in continuing the blackmail.

The thing that bothers me about this is that McCarthy would be a good choice for the Obama crew.

So why try to get him out?

Maybe this is a warning to someone else that they can strike at any time.

That doesn’t really make sense: if the Dems were blackmailing McCarthy (and others) why wouldn’t they continue to do so quietly? Far better to have a(nother) speaker by the short hairs (so to speak) than have it all exposed.

Was their a ‘pubbie in DHS who got wind of it and put it out there?

Unlikely. This all stinks of not being what it looks like

They didn’t make the Republican guy from Mississippi, Thad Cochran, resign. He denied having an affair with his landlady His wife was in a nursing home at the time. Now that the wife is dead, he married the landlady.

Thad Cochran ran an extremely nasty campaign against a conservative. He should have been forced to resign. But it was a big ho-hum. So why is this affair getting all the attention. There must be more to the story.

They have the goods on so many politicians and at least one Supreme Court justice. Everyone is being blackmailed.

No one at the moment being blackmailed as much as Hillary.

Obama has her just where he wants her.
