You probably heard yesterday that New York's AG is not just looking at civil charges against the Trump Org - they are now looking at criminal charges, too.

🚔 Stuff like money laundering, fraud, and other stuff crimey crime syndicates do.

I (kind of) apologize for this being a Morning Sixpack all about GQP corruption and criminal activity, but hey, I just report the news.

And the news today is VERY Republican-focused. I don't make this stuff up. It's handed to me on a silver platter nearly every day.

IOW, it finds me. And I share it with you because I'm a giver.

The real reasons for why Kevin McCarthy is afraid of a January 6 commission

Days after a bipartisan agreement was reached in the House to form a commission to examine the roots and events of the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Tuesday that he opposes the bill.

“Given the political misdirections that have marred this process, given the now duplicative and potentially counterproductive nature of this effort, and given the Speaker's shortsighted scope that does not examine interrelated forms of political violence in America, I cannot support this legislation,” said McCarthy.

Which doesn't make any sense because, well, the legislation that would have created the commission was developed by Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Mississippi) and John Katko (R-New York). And Katko had made clear that he was negotiating on behalf of and with the imprimatur of the Republican leadership.
