Yertle sees this as his chance to purge the party of the trolls and reactionaries like the MTGs and the Boeberts, without looking like he's selling them out.

Had the insurrection worked, resulting in the election being overturned, Moscow Mitch would have been fine with that. He made a lot of money with TFG in the white house. Liking him or the treason caucus doesn't matter, as with all repubs, they don't have friendships, they have business relationships.

Let's not forget that McConnell openly condemned efforts to overturn the election before he opposed the committee. He does what is politically expedient for HIM. You're right about "Fuck that guy, still and always."

I'm sure he hates Trump, but not because Trump is a lousy person. He hates him because he thinks Trump is pulling the GOP back.

Mitch is where he is because he is the delta of sociopathic behavior and top fundraiser, with the latter being the most important. Somewhere up the line, the money masters that control him are nervous, otherwise he'd keep his trap shut.

I'm sure #LiarMitch is keeping a close eye on things so preemptive ass-covering strategies can be put in place in a timely manner
