“You’re lucky,” McConnell continued. “You can say the things that we all think. You’re in a position to say things about him that we all agree with but can’t say.”
...
“They nailed him,” the Senate majority leader said.
Romney, taken aback by McConnell’s candor, responded carefully: “Well, the defense will say that Trump was just investigating corruption by the Bidens.”
“If you believe that,” McConnell replied, “I’ve got a bridge I can sell you.”

Of course it's Romney who finally becomes the one to name "Senior Republican Officials" with their off the record quotes about how awful they all know Trump is. It's ridiculous the way these people are allowed to say these things one minute then turn around and totally contradict them the next while having only the face-saving lie attributed to them. And McConnell and his office still feel need to deny this, smh.
