          Through clenched teeth. Let’s be real, this was obviously damage control for him… The votes were already clear

            Absolutely. His ego could not accept the loss so he decided to make it his idea, ignoring that he has the power to unilaterally release the files without a law from congress.

            But, if there were so many angry Republicans, as the article suggests, their anger is not resulting in a change in behavior and is effectively useless. Even MTG has made her frustrations moot by resigning instead of standing against Trump.

              MTG is distancing herself for a presidential run. She cut all direct criticism of Trump at the same time she started sounding like Kamala - she’s got so many consultants up her ass

              She resigned for the same reason so many others are considering it… It’s a really bad time to be in office. Being an incumbent right now is not a good look

              Republicans haven’t fallen in line with Trump over ideology… They have no ideology. They just want to be reelected, and right now it’s looking like Trump is a sinking ship. It’s becoming very clear it’s been Trump and their career, and only a few (like Mike Johnson for reasons I don’t understand) are willing to double down on Trump after the election results
