Michael Patrick Leahy appears on Steve Bannon War Romm discussing, in part, the Jeff DeWit message to Kari Lake and who from “back east” was the originator of the message to bribe Mrs Lake to stay out of the Arizona senate race. {Direct Rumble Link}
As expected, the sources for MPL’s report outline that Mitch McConnell and the National Republican Senatorial Committee originated the proposal. This should not be a surprise to anyone who reads CTH. The NRSC is primarily funded by the biggest lobbying group, the U.S Chamber of Commerce. The USCoC fund the legislative priorities of the Senate and Mitch McConnell does their bidding. In essence the bribe money would come from the USCoC into the NRSC. WATCH:
.
Again, this is not a surprise. Mitch McConnell cannot control the Senate outcomes if he doesn’t have full control of the GOP Senators therein. It is a collaborative relationship between McConnell and the Chamber of Commerce lobbying group.
The CoC provides the money, McConnell gives the instructions. It’s not complicated, it’s corrupt.
A similar arrangement exists with the Republican National Committee and the Republican Governor’s Association, that’s how the USCoC funds the RGA who in turn gives Ron DeSantis $20 million. All of the lobbying money flows from the multinational corps into the various political groups (NRSC, NRCC, RGA, RNC) who then have political operatives carry out the instructions. It’s the business end of politics.
There are trillions at stake, upstream.
Speaking of messages – don’t forget about another message in the not too distant past.
it could happen to anyone !
A very persuasive ‘argument’ against signature verification?
There are trillions at stake, upstream.
There sure as hell aren’t trillions downstream, yet
In politics, there are no coincidences…or accidents.
Remember, this is and always has been a spiritual war.
Brilliant move by President Trump to completely exclude the USCoC from making trade deals. Up until PDJT, CoC wrote all the “free trade” deals that off-shored American jobs.
CoC are also trying to get an ART V Convention. Along with Kochs.
That’s why I’m totally against that! Nefarious people will make sure our Constitution is permanently changed to our demise. Too many politicians bribed to go along with them. Not good for the country.
Apologies, my comment was meant to reply to Hopinow 1
DeWit did not commit suicide.
Oops, a little too early for that…
He called it himself. Carbomb.
There are trillions at stake
Aye, that.
I mean seriously, from the horses mouth, we are dealing with murderous scumbags! Conspiracy becomes truth every single day, and McConnell’s days are now numbered.
I think it comes w the job, he had a good run now it’s time for the morning email to open the floodgates against him
The mask was simply lifted off the standard operating procedure.
This bribery and corruption as well as vote cheating has been going on for many years.
The same one’s going after Bob Goldfinger Menendez are the same ones offering bribes to Kari Lake.
Not that she would have took them but if she did they would have extortion material on her.
In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the FBI that was trying to set her up.
Exactly! The FBI would have then gotten KL to get President Trump.
Exactly. She not only knew she was recording him, but she also probably knew he was recording her. To set the trap.
Just like Comey de Clown when he told our favorite President that there may be “Russians” on his transition team. President Trump not only didn’t take the bait, but he leaned into the sword. He said yes, please investigate. You have my complete cooperation. Let me know what I can do to help out. If there are any bad actors on my team, we’ll want to root them out. Please keep me posted on how you make out. Coke please!
In other words, F.U. you govt hack clown. I’m a businessman who deals in real business with other real businessmen. We build real things, not this fake s#it you try to whip up out of nothing. You think you can gain leverage on me? I invented leverage you asshat. I even wrote a book on it. Go hide behind the curtains somewhere and suck your thumb you loser.
When Comey de Clown later tried to make an issue out of it and imply President Trump may have acted inappropriately, President Trump said, “We have recordings too.” That was an oh s#it moment for Comey de Clown.
And with Sundance’s exhaustive research on the FISA 702’s, we all know the rest of the story.
Now that’s the post of today. 100% agree !!
Treepers rock!
It was funny how fast Comey stopped pursuing that angle as soon as Trump said- we have recordings too.
MAGA, you are correct on point 1. The trap was to get Kari to make a counter proffer. Her political career would be over because they had her on tape willing to be bought. I suspect she was tipped off in advance and knew the call was coming. Just listen to the first few “pleasantries.”
You are so right, if she had countered they would have her on tape as accepting a bribe, which wouldn’t be illegal but it would kill her political career.
DeWit called her and said he wanted to talk to her about something but couldn’t do it over the phone. And she said that made her suspicious. Then DeWit came to her home to offer the bribe.
she also probably knew he was recording her
Hey I didn’t even think about that! And I’ll bet you’re right.
You know he had a lapel recording device on his person. As if Kari a seasoned investigative journalist hadn’t figured it out.
RICO! Lock them up!!
By whom?
Military tribunal. I hear Gitmo and Diego Garcia are lovely this time of year.
Johnson Island.
Mitch and Company, by ACTUALLY completing bribes with thousands of others?
Name the NAMES!!!!
An Arizona DA?
Set up a sting operation. When DeWit pays Lake, bust him. He can start naming names if he wants to sty out of jail.
This is news? Surely it is well-known that Mitch McConnell and other Uniparty Republicans have been conniving and bribing and finagling for years in order to maintain themselves in power and to defeat any opposition.
Nice to have it documented, I guess.
It’s huge to have it documented. This answers that old question – Why do Repubes and “Conservatives” turn and stab America in the back? They are being paid big bucks which is then used to blackmail them. Amy Coney Barrett comes to mind. Roberts is just a short-eyes creep, though probably collecting big bucks too. John McCain, Lindsey, Crenshaw, so many.
Corynon of Texas comes to mind. Don’t know if I spelled his name right.
The Chamber of Communists. At the center of the star chamber lies the Turtle. Ditch Mitch.
One must not move on Mitch before dealing with his anointed successor as well.
Let me recall… Senator Thune was the one selected to eventually succeed him.
Yes, and who are the other thugs who always stand behind Mitch?
These, the usual suspects.
Looks like at least a couple ranking members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to me.
Barasso, Thune, Ernst, and not certain who the others are. This is one of the days Mitch froze.
Thune looks like a solicitous undertaker.
Glitch chose his successor well.
Look back in the archives here under the Word “Decepticons”…you will get the full list there…
It’s a “holy” trio of Thune, Cornyn & Barrasso.
Cornyn is to the left
Hey Mitch if your offer is still open I’ll gladly stay out of politics for a few $million so you and globalists won’t have to depopulate me.
The Gateway Pundit had an article with Sebastion Gorka hinting who the VP was. One item in list was that it’s a man from New York. Less than 24 hours later Kari released the tape.
The timing of Kari releasing the tape is interesting. On RAV a commentator thought it was bad timing.
Hmmmm…. Is she hinting she has tape on more people? Did Trump/entourage imply to her she was VP? Was this tape a warning to others that she has more?
Lol. Idk. The timing is suspicious? She seems the type to have more up her sleeve now. Lol.
I haven’t heard Trump comment about this yet and that’s not like him?🤔
Actually, it is like him. It doesn’t concern him directly. He will comment when asked. No sooner, no later.
President Trump is attending a Republican event in North Phoenix this Friday night in a venue that allows 4000 people “ Freedom Fest”. She released it the same day as the NewHampshire primary.
It seems to me it helps President Trump giving him an even more riled up audience for his Phoenix trip and stealing the show from whatever Nimrata thought she was making out of the democrats that voted as Republicans for her in New Hampshire.
I have tickets!!!!
Good for you. Have fun!
There is a group back east that would be willing to pay you for those tickets to stop you from attending the event….for a couple of years.
Please Maquis it for us Kristin! 😁
Be sure to tell us all about it!
And CPAC is coming up.
she has no real political experience @ all thats my problem with LAKE…
Sounds like a “you” problem, not her problem.
What a dumb comment. Why do you need political experience? President Trump shouldn’t have run then eh? Think
Most of these FILTHY people couldn’t manage a lemonade stand.
Thank you. The ‘experienced’ are those filthy supposedly politically experienced – all critters of the chicanery coterie.
It’s a constant wonder what they say and do on empty. It’s trickery and deception that keeps them together still eating wasted rice.
Her experience in the corrupt media should be adequate education to navigate the beltway backstabbers; bonus, since a Senator gets six years to learn, she can apprentice without immediately going back to campaigning. She might be a beltway outsider but I have no doubt she has plenty of political experience in life.
Looking forward to Kari and PDJT feeding the GOP a king-size helping of crow on Friday.
But, don’t we need Kari in the senate to help Trump?
Actually, as I think about it… “Treavor” has had many a troubling comment.
Trump had executive experience, not sure Lake has had the same experience working in broadcasting.
Trump had to make executive decisions everyday so yes that does prepare you for the Presidency. One reason Governors are usually elected for the highest office.
You wrote what I was thinking F.L….
Treavor, do you understand what you don’t like about Karl is one of the reasons “back East” made her an offer?
Keep swingin’ bud… you’ll get better at that trolling thing.
I betcha’ Treavor can’t hit fast balls….What say you???
NOTE: I haven’t been back on this board in awhile and it is still THE BEST place to expound on what is going on…WOWZA!!!!
Nonetheless, she gained more votes than her opponent by a wide margin in her only election, only to lose by a squeak to a corrupted Mricopa County system.
Who may have reached out to Maricopa County officials?
Hmmm…goodness, someone from “back east”?
I think you forgot the /s at the end of your comment friend.
😎
Neither did President Trump! Kari Lake is the only one I trust besides Trump!
Ben Carson?
Yes.
we do better with people who don’t… to wit Donald Trump
Today, “political experience “ is a dirty phrase! Trump didn’t have any! That’s what i like about him. NOT politically correct.
And the ‘proticapation award ‘goes to…☝👇
You made me search proticapation!!
😵
😀 I did too!
She’s a natural. She also was a reporter for years in AZ. She understands corruption — which seems to be politics in general.
I would suggest her run for governor and the aftermath have given plenty of real political experience.
I think the bottom line issue is we don’t have time to train
The country will be fully destroyed soon
CAN WE all get an “AWWWWW” for Treavor!!!!!!1 He just might need a hug😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Treavor, obviously you could have said the same thing about Trump in 2016, but look what happened, he turned out to be a phenomenal President and he’ll be even better for his second term.
Wrong.
Indeed.
I hope you’re right about Kari Lake. She was, for how many years, a news anchor and before that an investigative reporter? She’s smart, sharp, quick, and piercingly articulate.
It’d be interesting if she has been using her training, experience, savvy instincts and a few connections in her network to assemble a body of material thst could be used to fight fire with fire.
But I doubt it.
Savvy she is.
What a rock for President Trump she will be in DC.
Bravo Senator Lake.
I wonder if it’s Lee Zeldin!
He ran against Governor Hochul.
Trump mentioned a few times he was going to try to take NY, then recently, had Lee at a couple of rallies.
And Zeldin won NY before the vote fraud.
It could be Byron Reynolds…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds
Or this could be a headfake. Byron might be better remaining in the House.
Great young man, I think let him get a few more years under his belt. But, I’d be pleased if President Trump chose him, he’s awesome.
If the VP is running from the same state, PDJT would have to give up Florida’s 30 electors.
Therefore, he will not be choosing Byron, or for that matter, General Flynn.
Or – ha ha – DeStablishment… no matter which neverTrumper media hack pushes it.
Roger Stone made this point on the Dobbs show – I think he listed a couple more names too.
I don’t think he should pull anyone from the House. Our majority is barely there anyway.
The only way he could do it and not hurt us is if the states have rules allowing the Governor to appoint the replacement AND the Governor is Trump-friendly. Donalds represents Florida, and with DeSantis as Governor I don’t trust he would replace Donalds with someone good.
Kari would not have released it unless Trump campaign asked her to.
The timing of the recording release was probably associated with the Saturday meeting of the AZ GOP Party to elect the leader. DeWit made it easier by resigning.
Gorka doesn’t know anything. If he actually did he wouldn’t be leaking it. I think the guy is just clinging to Trump because he doesn’t have any other prospects.
So….what agency will be investigating this apparent case of attempted bribery of a candidate for public office, and potential election interference……and since it obviously included more than one individual – conspiracy?
Oh that’s right…..we live under a whole new American justice system.
Babylon DC will make sure it stays in AZ where the corrupt AG will sweep it under the rug.
Injustice system (IS)
Injustice is a quality relating to unfairness or undeserved outcomes. The term may be applied in reference to a particular event or situation, or to a larger status quo. In Western philosophy and jurisprudence, injustice is very commonly—but not always—defined as either the absence or the opposite of justice.
Or, (and I think youmissed the big one) institutionalized opposition to justice for political or monetary gain.
As has been noted for quite awhile, the rule of law is dead in America. Two tier “justice” and crime sanctuaries, and a corrupt federal government that reaches into every aspect of a person’s life from education, to healthcare to retirement to cars, sidewalks, toilets and light bulbs are the state of 21st century America. Not only a corrupt Congress and unlawful perpetual bureaucratic deep state, but a corrupt FISA court and cowardly Supreme Court.
Department of Justice (DOJ) is now Department of Injustice (DIJ)
Department of Just-us
This could be handled by the sheriff’s office, yet I have doubts about the county sheriff there.
I just wrote my Senators to get them to tell McConnell to resign and if he does not resign he should be removed. No Thune or his ilk either. We need a Senator that is maybe 1/2 MAGA? Are there any Senators that are 1/2 MAGA or is that too much to ask?
Now wondering about the timing of Corwyn’s sudden head-fake endorsement of PDJT…
Kari Lake really let some sunlight in, and the roaches are scrambling. More, please!
I don’t think anyone has mentioned it yet, (or I missed it). It seems to me that a huge reason Mitch would want to keep Kari out of “his” senate is that she could, and probably would, be the senator that would not allow the senate to stay permanently in session. Thereby allowing President Trump 47 to make recess appointments.
This.
It breaks the one element of control that could be undone by just one Senator.
Recess appointments would make major inroads in dismantling the swamp.
What a lovely thought. Swamp being dismantled.
She would be the one to defy Glitch because she is uncorrupted and hence uncontrolled.
That, and she’s MAGA, for real MAGA not just lip service MAGA.
That is a huge insight.
The Treehouse community is awesome.
Congressional action to prevent recess appointments:
The Senate or House may seek to block potential recess appointments by not allowing the Senate to adjourn under Article 1, Section 5, Clause 4 of the Constitution, which provides that both Houses must consent to an adjournment.[13] This tactic is especially used when either House of Congress is controlled by a different party than that of the president, the Senate or House may seek to block potential recess appointments by not allowing the Senate to adjourn for more than three days, blocking a longer adjournment that would allow recess appointments to be made.[14]
In order to combat this tactic from Congress, the president can adjourn Congress under Article II section 3 of the constitution that states
Great catch!
One senator can actually do a lot along those lines. Manchin, Sinema, and Paul have all gummed up the works at some point in their careers.
Swap John McCain for Kari Lake and ObamaCare would be gone.
I am not so sure Mitch has the mental capacity anymore, so who is doing the orders for him? The whole motley crew that surround him at the press conferences he can’t get through? Or one or two people? Wimsey?
I watched Kari’s Rumble. She didn’t name a name of course but told a tale of a millionaire wanting to do a PAC for her, under certain conditions. Conditions she didn’t go for. End the PAC’s and some of the corruption would go away. I have witnessed men I swore would never cave to a PAC and they did. It was heartbreaking.
What about his wife ? Elaine Chao and her Chinese family. They could be pulling the strings to a degree.
“……………, so who is doing the orders for him?”
Sen. John Thune, his hand picked successor, most likely has his fingers in the pie.
Thune is why I don’t want Noem anywhere near President Trump’s administration.
Governor Noem has been a strong supporter of Thune, senator of her state and worked to get him re-elected. We don’t need her running to Thune/McConnell with inside info to use to thwart President Trump.
I’m mad at Noem for allowing private companies invade her state to try to set up a pipeline for CO2 capture. The companies were harassing landowners and there was fear of eminent domain. Turns out Noem was an investor of a partner company.
https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2023/07/02/landowners-respond-gov-noems-stance-co2-pipeline-revealed-investments/
On Friday, South Dakota Searchlight revealed financial disclosures that showed that Governor Kristi Noem is an investor in a Minnesota-based ethanol plant that has partnered with Summit Carbon Solutions, the company proposing the controversial carbon pipeline that would go through South Dakota among other Midwestern states. (…) The message of landowners in the Midwest is simple: they want to protect their land from being used by a “private, out-of-state company with foreign backers” through eminent domain for their profit. Fischbach says that the pipeline project will not benefit the general public.
McConnell didn’t want her elected since that removes the senate from 51 – 49 Dem to GOP and would cash him out from leadership and Kari would kick his ass on the stump.
I just watched Kari Lake on Greg Kelly. She let that slimeball into her house, where she recorded the conversation, for her safety she said.
Kari Lake said tonight the AZ Republicans are doing an emergency meeting on Saturday in Phoenix to try and sort things out and appoint a new Chairperson. This appointment is critical, as there is a split in the AZ Republican Party between the establishment and well-funded McCain folks and the grass roots MAGA folks who have managed to get voted in, mostly from more rural areas. If you’re in AZ, or even if you’re not, start calling their offices and demanding someone from outside the establishment of D.C. politics and the McCain bench.
PDJT will be there Friday!!
Tickets are still available in the 25-100 range on the floor…
If I was local I’d pay the money just to see PDJT feed the headless AZ GOP some well-deserved crow
Edited to add that Kari and Abe Hamadeh and others will be speaking as well. The gathering is in a fairly small venue, a ‘church’, so it should be good!
This is the reason for the timing then. Snag back one state at a time!
I truly doubt she timed this without PDJT’s insight and participation.
She effectively vacated the seat just before his arrival.
Si belle!
This is the reason for the timing. Kari wanted to make sure DeWit was not re-elected. I also love that she held back some of the recording just in case she needs more ammo. 🙂
It’s not an emergency meeting. It’s an annual meeting to choose the chairperson. DeWit just made it easier to not choose him. 🙂
Old mitch the withered kentucky rino and sorry excuse for a man, is extremely fearful of ultra strong MAGA women. Kari Lake, absolutely scares the hell out of him.

No Coincidences…
Jeff DeWit’s resignation letter; If he didn’t resign, there were “more damaging” recordings to be released…
Sen. Mitch McConnell referred to Donald Trump as “the nominee,”
My guess is that DeWit-less admitted that the people back-east were ChiCom Mitch & USCoC.
PDJT knows. KL knows. ChiCom Mitch knows. Oooops. Checkmate for the Turtle.
No Coincidence. This from BB.
Sen. Mitch McConnell referred to Donald Trump as “the nominee,” a monumental admission from the Trump antagonist who has largely refused to even utter Trump’s name for over three years.
McConnell made his comments to his Senate Republican colleagues during a Wednesday meeting where he lamented the changing dynamics of efforts to pair a border package with foreign aid, according to Punchbowl News.
The report says:
McConnell referred to Trump as “the nominee” and noted the former president wants to run his 2024 campaign centered on immigration. And the GOP leader said, “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.”
“We’re in a quandary,” McConnell added.
McConnell’s comments came a day after Trump beat Nikki Haley by double digits in the New Hampshire primary despite CNN reporting that 70 percent of Haley’s support came from unregistered Republicans.
Lax New Hampshire laws enabling party crossover will not exist in future states.
” We’re in a quandary.”
That is his response? That &%$&*$@ Schmuck. The country has millions of Trojan Horses within our border, and “We’re in a QUANDARY?!!!!!”
This is beginning to look like a YUGE Eric Cantor (R-VA) topple.
Great catch, Wiley!!!!
Me thinks that PT and KL just stopped that horrible thing that was going to be passed in Congress.
sure hope you are right
Exactly. What’s the quandary? Support Trump and support securing the border. Simple.
Mitch is a moron. McConnell told Senate Rs that the politics of the border has flipped? No, the majority of Americans always wanted the border closed.
What you admit Mitch, is that the Trump traing is coming right at you adn you need to jump on it or get run over because you are powerless. F U Mitch.
That may be the donor class (CoC in particular) using McConnell to send the message to Haley that she needs to drop out.
Maybe I have missed it somewhere.
Who recorded?
Who leaked?
Kari.
Beautifully.
The previous chair of the the AZGOP Dr. Kelli Ward describes Dewit’s story as “This is gaslighting at best.” Dr. Ward is highly credible in my view.
https://kelliward.com/email-letters/20240124-dewittresigns?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=ward&utm_content=&utm_campaign=email&utm_term=nft
Yes, I think she is great! Self-serving letter from DeWitt — she nailed him.
It doesn’t have to make sense, it only has to make money.
I noticed what DeWitt highlighted as his achievements:
we have made significant improvements in acquiring a new office headquarters, legal victories for election
integrity, and historic fundraising achievements.
New office headquarters – how wonderful – they moved to nicer offices
Historic fundraising – money money money
Legal victories for election integrity – (really – did they get rid of Dominion and demand voter ID & paper ballots?)
☝️☝️☝️ Spot on, Jeff!
The official mission statement of the RNC.
The bribe occurred in late February 2023, months before Lake announced her candidacy for the Senate race. So I don’t know if there was any public polling going on, but obviously because Lake is a Trump ally and they don’t want Trump to succeed in anything, they wanted her gone.
Notice too that DeWit told her to wait “two years”. That’s because the other AZ Senate seat is up for election in 2026, but if the guy that currently holds it is popular and runs again it would be very difficult for Lake to win it, much more difficult than the seat up for election this year. I’m sure the bribers know this.
I have a number of questions about the attempted bribery conversation between DeWit and Lake.
Was it selectively edited as Jeff DeWit states in his letter? I’d like to hear the whole conversation, not just edited sections. When did this conversation between Kari Lake and Jeff DeWit take place? Last week? Three weeks ago? Last summer? Did she sit on it for a couple of months before using it? His resignation letter says that this was part of a conversation while she was working for him. When was that?
No, it wasn’t.
10 Months ago.
Yes.
Never.Graspings of a weakling moral coward. Caught in the Act.
Ten months ago? Why did she sit on it? Why not tell it at the time? Surely there was more to the conversation than this. You don’t just sit down with someone and with no preface begin to attempt bribes. Release the whole conversation. Everything that was said on both sides. And why did she record this conversation? Does she record all conversations that she has with others? It does smack of a set up and some kind of manipulation because she is a media person and would know the value of what she had recorded.
Jeff DeWit needed to resign for his attempts to subvert Lake’s campaign. The “people back east” are thoroughly corrupt and should be booted out of office. But I don’t trust Kari Lake.
It’s all about the timing.
President Trump will be in Arizona on Friday.
I have no doubt the timing was coordinated to produce just this effect, expose both the supposedly reluctant messenger and his likely superior in the matter, and to vacate the seat just before Trump comes to Arizona for an event that will be one day before the emergency meeting of the state party to replace their crippled potentially criminally compromised committee executive on Saturday.
I don’t like these obvious ploys to manipulate situations. I personally think it’s dishonest or at least, fails complete transparency.
She did NOT sit on it – she mentioned it in public.
It was only the tape she saved until now.
When did she mention it? Link or article showing her mention of it? Ten months ago right after it happened?
Belle, you really should read through all of the comments in the Kari Lake bribe threads. All of the answers to your questions are there.
The bribe attempt occurred in late February 2023. Lake told the CPAC audience about it in early March 2023.
The timing was most likely to ensure that DeWit did not retain his position as the AZ GOP Party head. There is an annual meeting on Saturday, Lake no doubt wanted to make sure he was not re-elected and she knew the recording would accomplish the task.
Regarding your question about whether or not it was edited, if it had been then DeWit could fill in all of the blanks or tell us what he really said to Lake. Notice that he did neither. He knows she has the full recording and as someone else pointed out he probably does too. He’s just a slime trying to save face. You should be offended that he attempted to bribe Lake to not run for the Senate seat which would then deprive people of being able to vote for her. We don’t need corrupt party heads and corrupt politicians filtering our candidate choices for us.

Ummm … it’s rare for us to see a headline that makes us look twice UNLESS it’s something stupid from NBC, CNN, WaPo, etc. We expect them to write bad headlines because that’s their bread and butter. But when this from zerohedge crossed our timeline we not only stopped once, or even twice, we stopped three times which in the Twitter world is almost unheard of.
This is something else.
FINE, the fact we laughed at it AND wrote about it proves we’re immature and easily amused. We own it.
Besides the headline, the story itself is pretty alarming.
This Hoffman fella sounds like trouble. Bad dude.

===============================
Leonard Cohen nite…
In general, the stakes are high in a presidential election year. Even more so when more than half of the electorate is dissatisfied with current policies and still suspects that things were not right in ’20.
In addition, President Trump leads Patriots Party (PP), labeled as GOP. However, the America 1st agenda of “We the People” is incompatible with that of the GOP representatives. Since neither bloc has majorities and the differences are irreconcilable, there is an open exchange of blows in the Senate after the quarrel in the House, as the Speaker doesn’t have the votes. Please don’t kick him out without a replacement!
Who would have predicted this a year ago: President Trump is now the undisputed candidate of Congress! Some member supporting him because of his personality but reject his agenda. Although the situation on the Souther Border has been unbearable for three years, Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX), an early Trump endorser, called it an “invasion”! In addition to the great applause for this groundbreaking decision that came out of nowhere, very few people asked themselves this question: Why now and not earlier?
Two years ago AG Mark Brnovich (R-AZ) issued a legal opinion [1] that Governor can declare the illegal immigration crisis on the US-Mexico border as an “invasion” under the U.S. Constitution because of the “violence and lawlessness at the border caused by transnational cartels and gangs.” As then Governor Doug Ducey (R-AZ), a Mitch McConnell alley, stood silent, nothing happened. [2]
In ’22, Brnovich entered the race to flip Astronaut’s Senate seat but he failed: He would have had a lot to say, such as about Stephen Richer’s (R) prodemocracygop.com, voter registration, or the inability to control citizenship. But there were overriding interests: Peter Thiel, an ally – like George Soros and Goldman Sachs of Jared Kushner and a mega donor promoted globalist Blake Masters (R-AZ). With the endorsement of President Trump he made it to General election but collapsed. “Quality of Candidates”, you know!
To kick out Jeff DeWit, an ally of Jared Kushner [3], is done, but who is his replacement? On Friday, President Trump is keynote speaker at AZGOP Freedom Fest in Phoenix, AZ. Maybe he will meet Doug Ducey, the promotor of nationwide Universal ESA legislation, approved by Elon Musk and “Rob” alley John Stossel (“he’s definitely smarter and better than both Trump and Biden”) [4] has time to spare.
It get’s complicated!

MEDIA ADVISORY: HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE MARKUP OF MAYORKAS IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES
https://homeland.house.gov/2024/01/24/media-advisory-homeland-security-committee-markup-of-mayorkas-impeachment-articles/
From 2017 to 2019, a good friend of my wife, Jonathan Lines, was the state GOP chairman. He was a strong proponent of President Trump and both he and my nephews have great pictures with President Trump. My nephews volunteered during his rally at MCAS Yuma and they got their neckties signed by President Trump.
it’s sad to see the establishment has fallen away from supporting President Trump.
Someone said—i forget who—that conservatism was progressivism driving the speed limit! Lololol!!!!
I now wonder about Kari Lake.
Is she naive, yet another Rino or something else?
If she believes the bribe offerer is someone else, she should tell us peons who she thinks was bankrolling the bribe.
Did she leave off part of it…
“and Steve Daines has become a great friend of mine, in the last couple of days” -my emphasis
Is she turning the screws on him/them?
PT says that all the time.
Could be that, thankfully she just got expert advice:
Then it may have been Thune, Mitch or Ryan.
I saw a fairly recent article with some Daines quotes and he sounded pro-Trump to me. So maybe he wasn’t involved. The NRSC site doesn’t tell you who else runs that organization, they only list Daines as heading it.
It was my first thought
Really don’t know who to reply to on comments here tonight. There is a great FOG in the place where I live tonight which caused me to reflect and think on what is called on “the FOG of WAR.” Am thinking we are in thick of it.
Can’t believe that Mitch McConnell isn’t being equivocated with Joe Biden. He’s another senile person who probably also has a body double speaking with a forked tongue.
I am probably and most likely senile myself so I do not have any claims of perfection of being sound of mind. But there is actually is a place in Washington, D.C. called FOGGY BOTTOM. And it is really built on a SWAMP.
Many I’ve encountered in my life there required regular and heavy doses of Martini’s, Manhattan’s etc. Back then those days those were the only hard drugs available to the masses.
Shudder to think what the swamp creatures use as libations now. Ugh.
Did you catch the implied threat?
I heard a short segment of the recording on InfoWars. Part of it was him offering her the bribe, but there was also a Mafia-like threat in there:
Ms. Lake told him “They will kill me.”
His response was a short confirmation something like “yeah, that’s what they do these days” but also — he points out the Drug Cartels have people in all 50 States —— that’s basically a threat the way a mobster would give it just in the remote chance you are wired… especially if you know the history of MS-13 in the US + its roots back to the Iran-Contra Days….or what’s been alleged…
Yup. It was a threat and no one is talking about it.
Hmmm, trying to bribe KL to stay out of the AZ Senate race may explain all those RINOs who suddenly decide to step down and not run for reelection — especially when it can impact the control of the House or Senate (or lack thereof.) They all cite “personal reasons” or “wanting to spend more time with their family.” But I’d be willing to bet they were bribed or bankrolled to do it.
IF anyone with guts in the Republican Party they WOULD get the TRUTH from DeWitt and make KNOWN exactly who the “those from back East” are, ALL of them and exposed these scumbags. We know one is McTurtle by there are others!
A low-level staffer!
Come on KY, you should be demanding that Mitch retire and your GOP Senate replace him. Its way over due.
An email from Dr Kelli Ward in AZ indicates that DeWit virtually ran the state party’s finances and capabilities into the ground, violating many party rules to do so. Is this of a part with the stories coming out about Michigan’s GOP being run by a team of charlatans led by an actual Democrat to destroy the party? The house cleaning this pathetic party needs is beyond epic, it may require flamethrowers.
Speaking of flame throwers, can’t wait to see PDJT’s AZ event on Friday!
Today, the AZGOP Chair issued a resignation statement due in part to a recently released audio tape of a conversation between he and Kari Lake.
In his resignation, he states that when he took the helm of the AZGOP “our party was in disarray – financially unstable, organizationally weak and lacking in momentum.”
This is gaslighting at best. When our team turned over the gavel to Jeff, the party was in outstanding shape – financially stable, organizationally strong, and carrying huge momentum!
Facts:
1. DeWit was left with 3 months or more of operating expenses plus hundreds of thousands of dollars in proceeds from the sale of the old AZGOP HQ that had a myriad of problems associated with it.
2. Our team built one of the most robust state-party digital and mail fundraising programs ever, drawing donors from throughout the nation.
3. Our team had a strong and growing major donor program in place and I made thousands of fundraising calls during my four years as Chairwoman.
4. Jeff canceled the mail fundraising vendor that had been in place long before I became chair in January 2019.
5. Jeff canceled the digital fundraising program that had brought in more small-dollar donors than the state party had ever seen.
6. Jeff made no visible effort to fundraise aggressively until the party was nearly out of money. We are all still in the dark about those efforts other than what the AZGOP puts out in their very limited communication with the state committee.
7. Jeff and his team put the party in debt by purchasing a building without first fundraising via a capital campaign which the prior AZGOP executive committee mandated.
It is a shame that DeWit is leaving the party in the shape that it is in. I had high hopes for his success in leading the party to victory. Now it will be very difficult for any new chair to repair the damage he and his team, including toxic treasurer Elijah Norton, have done to the party. The turnaround has to be immediate and we only have the next 10 months. The next chair has his/her work cut out for them as they have been set up to be blamed for any shortcomings the party may have in 2024. That being said, I stand ready to assist the new chair in any way that I can to support our candidates running for Legislature, Congress, Senate, and, of course, to rally behind President Trump.
In Liberty,
Dr Kelli Ward
Wow. In light of the recent scandal I would think DeWit was paid to do that damage. Someone doesn’t want AZ to be red, and sadly it’s people in the GOP party.
Paraphrasing that guy from Pawn Stars; it’s not that I don’t trust Kari Lake, it’s that I don’t trust anybody. 😉
Not looking like they can beat President Trump with the people so they’re lining up to stop him like they did in 2016 through DC. Disturbing to see just by who and how our country is being governed. Evidently the evil west is living up to their label by our representatives at least.
They’re probably contracting with China right now to create a new virus.
It is interesting how much play this is getting. That is totally justified. However, One never hears of the bribery investigation in Arizona which involves another US senatorial candidate. I am speaking of the investigation that uncovered the Sinaloa cartel bribery operation that launders the money through fraudulent real estate transactions. This was fairly well exposed in a legislative committee hearing in Arizona, last year. The witness, one of the investigators, named names of those who were bribed. The committee shut her down immediately when she named one of the committee members.
Crickets!
Must be that desert heat.
Since they have legalized the flow of unlimited money from corporate donors to fuel their insurgency against the people, and money fuels all of this, where is our version of lawfare to block the money? Take from the enemy those things that he values most.
Maybe if this corporate money was diverted into tax levies to reduce the national debt, it could be put to a better use than corrupting our elections.
I knew it!
You have taught me well my friend
Everyone has just about figured that out
I am just throwing this out there. From what Sundance has said multiple times about how the money flows, why can’t we as citizens of these United States bring RICO charges against McTurtle and company? Really, in my mind it seems so very easy, as money is not too hard to follow.
RICO; Regime Incumbents Committing Obstruction
It would be easier to just vote him out of office. Kentucky voters really must do better in 2026. It’s a shame they re-elected him in 2020. 2020 was a disaster. (smh)
Mitch McConnell has been in the crime syndicate for decades, we learned who Mitch represents with the Tea Party attacks he launched in 2010-12.
“When you’re a rat you’re a rat all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day.”
Trickle down democracy.
and Ronna Romney….????
Is mrsturtle DPP or KMT ?
That’s why you have to laugh when you hear people like Sen. Marsha Blackburn saying the GOP has to “unite” behind Trump. There is no such thing as GOP unity. At least half of these weasels would be OK with Biden or any Democrat beating Trump in 2024, ad anyone who believes otherwise is utterly delusional.
DeSantis’ endorsement alone is perfect evidence that the RINOs don’t want unity even if we did. Weak endorsement combined with an insult, followed by more insults. I have a strong feeling he’ll announce shortly before the election that he’s not voting for Trump.
