Did Kevin McCarthy just give something away?

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Kevin McCarthy has been eagerly lying to the press and anyone who will listen, bashing Pelosi and defending his opposition to the bill establishing an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6th insurrection, calling it a partisan bill, when it was written and proposed by a House Democrat and Republican — deputized by him to do so.

McCarthy has also been calling it Pelosi’s political commission, when he is the only one who has been playing politics, having his deputy negotiate to get everything he wanted, only to learn his good faith work was actually done in bad faith on McCarthy’s part.

But while recently speaking with the press, one very interesting question quickly shut him up. A reporter asked McCarthy whether he was absolutely sure that no House Republicans communicated with Jan. 6th insurrectionists.

All he had to say was yes or no, but he suddenly had to leave. I guess he either has trouble lying on the fly when unprepared for the question, or he knows something very significant that made him too nervous to respond? Could it be that others also know what he knows in this regard?

Did Kevin McCarthy just spill the beans about why he is really opposed to a Jan. 6th commission? Very interesting, indeed.
