Harry Reid’s Office Leaks Boehner Office Emails—And It Could Ruin Any Faith You Have in Washington

[Casino67]

TheBlaze:

A series of leaked emails authored by House Speaker John Boehner’s chief of staff Mike Sommers show the Speaker may have coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to exempt Congress from Obamacare.

 

The emails were leaked Tuesday by Reid chief of staff David Krone, who actually has a history of this sort of thing.

 

The leaks, which are a major taboo in Washington, show Boehner (R-Ohio) worked behind the scenes earlier this year to address confusion over a provision in the Affordable Care Act that would force members of Congress and their aides into the exchanges. In fact, if one were to go by the leaks, which were first published by Politico, it appears that the offices of Boehner and Reid regularly coordinated to exempt Congress from the health care law.

 

But given that Boehner is now apparently against congressional Obamacare exemptions, the emails make him look inconsistent and hypocritical – which may have been the point of their leaking.

The emails make both Reid and Boehner look bad, and are bad. But leaking them by the Reid staff is what makes Washington cooperation impossible.

I already had no faith in Congress (with rare exceptions) and the establishment GOP.

When I was driving this morning I heard this on Glen Beck. He read the letter.

He is also calling for the GOP to be defunded. At first I thought he was extreme but on second consideration he may have a point.
