The White House doesn't een deny it, they just said that Comey was grandstanding, which prevented negotiating with Russia, and that the real issue is... THE LEAKS of private conversations.

Reports of a video of McCarthy saying privately that he believes Putin pays Trump, Republicans laughing, McCarthy saying "no, I'm serious", and Ryan saying "no leaks, we're all family here". Both denied it. Once it was revealed there's a tape, both said they were joking.

What's the final straw for Republicans?

The "final straw" for what?

As to the Comey comments. It has been asserted by a government official that Trump blasted Comey to the Russians in an attempt to instill a sense of obligation and improved cooperation. Of course that government official is probably not as reliable as the other government official. If you don't think the constant leaks of internal discussions in the White House is an issue; perhaps bigger than saying Comey was a nut job; then we have found another issue to disagree on.

As to the McCarthy comments: Where they laughing or anything of the sort to indicate that they may indeed be joking?

So they question once again: The final straw for what?
