The adulation he can expect at CPAC will also provide him some relief from stories about the intensifying investigations that are taking place into his tax records.

On Wednesday night, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy announced that the GOP would not remove freshmen Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia from her committee assignments, despite the views that she has espoused, which don't even begin to approach rational thought or, for that matter, fit anywhere along the wide spectrum of acceptable political discourse.
