Maybe Rove wants CPAC back? He has been hard on Donald of late and it looks like part of the power struggle inside the GOP.
CPAC belongs to Newt - he might let Rove use it, but I doubt he’ll ever let it go.
Definitely a power struggle happening: the old guard insurrectionists (Gingrich, McConnell, Rove, +ilk) are 100% still focused on wrenching the nation away from the voting public & making it THEIRS (in service to the billionaires who pay the tab, in expectation of de-facto aristocracy). Most of the congressional overthrow loyalists are baggage now - had it worked, they’d’ve been scuttled already ‘to avoid the appearance of impropriety’ during the clampdown; now they’re the core of the remaining plan to destabilize things on the federal level to a crisis point (sound familiar?)
Glenn Kirshner was talking today about special Prosecutor Smith’s recent subpoenas & lines of questioning - and how they seem to indicate that Smith is WIDENING the investigation to include financial crimes related to the overthrow attempt. I hardly dare hope, but that would be in line with a full RICO investigation (the following-the-money part)…and IMOHO we desperately need one: their entire structure needs to be taken apart, dismantled, defunded, stripped of assets, and subject to the heaviest penalties of the law
