More evidence that the Republican party is utterly, thoroughly, exhaustively corrupted not just politically, but morally as well.
Here's how bad it is:

"An aide to
House Speaker Mike Johnson advised Republican colleagues against
subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their
investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack to prevent the release of
sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to written
correspondence reviewed by The Post and a person familiar with the
effort.
The
aide intervened last June, citing concerns that a subpoena could expose
the texts, according to the correspondence and the person, who
requested anonymity to speak candidly about private conversations.
Johnson revived the investigation this week as part of an effort by
President Donald Trump and his allies to seek retribution against
perceived political enemies, including those who investigated his role
in the Capitol attack.
In
a meeting following the June conversation, Johnson (R-Louisiana.) and
senior aides also conveyed to Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) and
members of his staff that issuing a subpoena to Hutchinson and asking
her to testify under oath would serve as another opportunity for her to
retell her story and potentially embarrass the Trump White House,
according to two people present for the meeting."
Let's have a very brief review, shall we?
If you all recall, Cassidy Hutchinson was the top aide to Drumpf's former White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. She spent a lot of time in the presence of Drumpf while in the White House and witnessed a lot of his devious behavior. She courageously testified **UNDER OATH about Drumpf's actions the day of the January 6, 2021 domestic terrorist assault on the US Capitol, as well as his behavior prior to January 6th and after he had lost the election to Joe Biden. Hutchinson gave incriminating evidence of Drumpf's and Meadows' irresponsible and criminal actions before and on that date.
Drumpf, seeking vengeance for all the J6 witnesses that testified UNDER OATH against him, would love to see his new toady-stocked DOJ persecute Hutchinson for having dared to tell the truth about him, once again UNDER OATH, but apparently Ms. Hutchinson is in possession of SEXUALLY EXPLICIT text messages that she received from Trumpublican members of Congress that were targeted at her and they are SCARED shitless that she will release them publicly if they drag her in front of their kangaroo court.
Lol. You can't make this shit up, I swear.
This is the morally destitute Trumpublican political party and ideology that the Ma and Pa MAGAs of this country have invested their faith and their unwavering vote in. How can this morally bankrupt insanity possibly end well for you all, much less the rest of our citizenry and the nation as a whole? The simple, reality-based answer of course is that it won't end well, for anyone.
--- TFG
** I purposely capitalized the term "under oath" as a reminder that Drumpf refused to testify under oath in any of his investigations. The fucking coward.
