  1. This situation could provide the FBI time to arrest Santos for his corruption and turn him into Brazilian authorities.

  2. The bottom line is McCarthy is not wanted by his own party. This whole situation it’s not going to stop until McCarthy cries uncle and leaves

  3. They want someone that all Republicans can support. They have a lot of Republicans to choose from. It doesn’t have to be McCarthy.
