WHAT CHANGED SINCE HE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR THIS MORNING?
ONE THING VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW, IS THE SPEAKER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF CONGRESS!!!
NEWT? COLONEL ALAN WEST?
Just a week ago, in the video below Mike Malloy spoke on his show about conservatives making a move to block McCarthy’s move for Speaker. As of several hours ago, the House Freedom Caucus was backing Daniel Webster from Florida, so something of EPIC proportions must have taken place behind closed doors.
RUMORS OF McCARTHY INFIDELITY HEAT UP AS CEASE AND DESIST LETTER ISSUED!!!!!
GotNews.com has been hit with a cease and desist letter from the counsel of Congresswoman Renee Ellmers amid allegations of her own martial infidelity.
GotNews.com stands by its story regarding the DC, NC, and Bakersfield rumors regarding an alleged affair between Congresswoman Renee Ellmers and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. We look forward to the opportunity to avail ourselves of deposition with seated members of congress should it come to that.
The letter, reproduced here, was written by Thomas A. Farr, an attorney from Ogletree Deakins, a white shoe law firm.

Meanwhile Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina has called for a full vetting of McCarthy before the speaker vote.
“I’ve had the pleasure of serving the third district of North Carolina for the past 20 years in Congress. Some of the most difficult times have been when our Republican leaders or potential Republican leaders must step down because of skeletons in their closets,” said Congressman Jones. “We’ve seen it with former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Bob Livingston, who ran for Speaker in 1998. Let’s learn from the past and not go down that road again. Let’s make sure the new House Republican leadership team is full of individuals that can do the job without distractions that further degrade the public’s trust in the people’s House.”
Has Congresswoman Renee Ellmers or her staff consulted with Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy or his staff before hitting GotNews.com with this letter?
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the front-runner to replace John Boehner, stunned his Republican colleagues on Thursday by withdrawing from the race — a decision that will postpone the vote for speaker.
Fox News is told McCarthy simply said it was not his time. McCarthy faced opposition from some conservative members and groups, but was thought to have more than enough support to win the party’s nomination in the vote initially set for Thursday.
It’s unclear what specifically made McCarthy change his mind and drop out.
The shocking decision came shortly after House Republicans met to select their nominee for speaker. McCarthy was running against Reps. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Daniel Webster, R-Fla., before he dropped out.
He gave no indication of dropping out earlier in the day. “It’s going to go great,” McCarthy said Thursday morning.
Webster, though, has won favor with the conservative wing of the party. Wednesday evening, the House Freedom Caucus — with its 30-40 members — decided it would back Webster as a bloc.
Whoever ultimately is chosen by Republicans would need to muster an absolute majority, of roughly 218 members, to win in the full floor vote, which had been set for Oct. 29 originally.
The speaker’s race already has seen several curveballs since Boehner suddenly announced his retirement at the end of the month and McCarthy swiftly positioned himself as the presumptive next in line.
Shortly after announcing his candidacy, McCarthy was seen to stumble in a Fox News interview where he appeared to link Hillary Clinton’s dropping poll numbers to the congressional Benghazi committee. His comments fueled Democratic charges that the committee is merely political, which GOP leaders deny.
Amid the backlash over McCarthy’s Benghazi remarks, Chaffetz entered the leadership race over the weekend.
Republicans have nearly 250 members in the House and on paper have the numbers to win against the Democrats’ nominee, likely Nancy Pelosi. But if the winning Republican nomineecomes out with a tally short of 218, he or she will have to spend the next several weeks trying to rally support to get to that number.
In a curious development, Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C., also sent a letter to House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., urging a full vetting of all leadership candidates to avoid a repeat of 1998, when the conference selected then-Rep. Bob Livingston in November to succeed outgoing House Speaker Newt Gingrich. It then emerged Livingston had been conducting an affair. Jones asked that any candidate who has committed “misdeeds” withdraw.
Asked by FoxNews.com to elaborate, Jones said he doesn’t “know anything” specific about any of the candidates, but, “We need to be able to say without reservation that ‘I have nothing in my background that six months from now could be exposed to the detriment of the House of Representatives.’” He said he wants to make sure the candidates have “no skeletons.”

Gawd’s sakes. We’re ALL criminals if the President wants to prosecute us. Presidents have had access FBI “Dirt” files on every member of Congress and every military officer of flag rank since J.Edgar Hoover.
Is he and Eric Cantor brothers? They look like they were both shat on the same stump (except for the gray hair, but you know….hair dye will fix that.)
