Of course he doesn’t want a select panel. That might mean that there were some competent senators–people like Sheldon Whitehouse–who would ask real questions instead of just making speeches. Why, there might be some real investigating done! Can’t have that.
The Russians accomplished exactly what we asked them to .
What’s to investigate?
We’re all comrades now
There is a clear case for Trump’s impeachment using the emoluments clause (see link below). As long as Mitch has that, he’ll get whatever he wants from Donald. Mitch doesn’t want anything to mess up his plan by getting rid of Donald too soon.
Excerpt:
But even if that never happens, Trump’s potential impeachability will make for a very strange dynamic. “When this guillotine might fall is a matter of political more than legal calculation, and is thus beyond the scope of our analysis,” write the authors. “Likewise, just how the ongoing prospect of such an ignominious end to a Trump presidency would embolden his political adversaries at home and abroad, and undermine his legitimacy in the eyes of the American public and global community, is impossible to predict.” If their legal analysis is correct, we appear headed toward an unpresidented situation.
Not to mention, any investigation would jeopardize the “hostage” situation the Russians have in the form of RNC e-mails.
No investigation, the hacked e-mails will remain undisclosed.
That’s because McConnell is a complete sack of shit who would commit treason and roast a baby if he believed it would gain a single additional Republican vote. He’s an amoral coward of the absolute highest order and doesn’t give one iota about our democracy or this country. Party before everything.
Meh. When the axe falls is not up to McConnell: impeachments begin in the House. Trump has more to gain by playing ball with Paul Ryan (the “fine wine” guy) than with McConnell, and vice versa.
Where’s Senator Joe McCarthy when you need him?
Of course we can be confident that a committee headed by republicans will be truthful and transparent in whatever they find. (I laughed so hard typing this I think I wet myself).
Videos of the world fearing TrUmps strength and the most powerful,leader of the most powerful government in the world. Yay respect!
New talking point: McConnell knew what was happening and was “in” on it and so was Trump, and he’s now protecting them both.
No mercy, no quarter. Fuck 'em.
Unless they can get more Republicans to demand a select panel, the issue is dead. McConnell really doesn’t want this.
Shorter Turtle: I rather investigate Benghazi.
Trump bought him off by hiring his wife.
He’s always been that way. I just wish Karma would take freaking notice of this monster and finally do something about it! We’ve tried everything else.
Of course he doesn’t because then they might find something, thus eroding the already shaky ground the Reps have found themselves on.
It sounds like Yertle the Turtle knows more than he lets on about Don the Con’s ties to Russian meddling in our election. Yertle will fight any legitimate inquiry because, to him, party “trumps” party and treason is okay if it helps the GOP.
They not only have enough to impeach him on, they have enough to prosecute and lock him up for years. They have him by the balls, he will have to play things their way, or else. I think the term for all parties concerned, except Putin, is a Mexican standoff.
Why does this article fail to mention McConnel’s role in suppressing this story before the ellection or that his wife has been nominated to a Cabinet position within the Administration that is accused of beneffiting from these hacks? That seems to be pertinent information.
Gowdy…calling Trey Gowdy???
