The Washington Post has really been on its game.
They are reporting that House majority leader Kevin McCarthy told his Republican colleagues in 2016 that Vladimir Putin pays Donald Trump and Dana Rohrabacher.
They claim to have heard a recording of the conversation and exchange.
Here’s the unbelievable part or believable part, House Speaker Paul Ryan swore those present to secrecy and said, 'this is how we know we’re a real family here.'
Of course, they know they’re a real family by covering up for Trump.

A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016 exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.
Some of the lawmakers laughed at McCarthy’s comment. Then McCarthy quickly added: “Swear to God.”
Ryan instructed his Republican lieutenants to keep the conversation private, saying: “No leaks...This is how we know we’re a real family here.”
