You are kidding. The Republicans in the Senate are standing up to a sitting Republican President. How odd. Does anybody in the Administration know how to play the politics game.
A “full briefing” by the administration is not nearly enough. They’re the party who are under investigation. The Senate, the entire country need to see a full and fair investigation through, to the end, before installing a single additional person to this possibly tainted administration.
I will consider thinking more highly of Grassley if he stonewalls every nominee, including Gorsuch. It is evident to me that the Senate has the power to stand up to Trump if they want to. If they don’t then, they are complicit in whatever he has done involving Russia that compromises the United States or its agencies or citizens. Grassley has zero to lose.
Methinks Grassley is pissed that Sessions lied before his committee, thus leaving a fine mess on his shoes. Doubly so since Sessions lied in response to a question that was not asked.
Senators don’t like Presidents who don’t acknowledge that Senators are the most wise and powerful people in the entire government.
“He was supposed to get back to us and we still haven’t heard anything,” Grassley vented to reporters
Hmm that’s odd, Comey sure was hot to “get back to them” when nothing new about Hill’s emails surfaced.
Wasn’t it just reported yesterday that Comey is going to make some kind of announcement about this today? So I guess now Grassley can take credit for that?
Grassley could have, y’know, held up the nomination of the attorney general based on the same complaint. But oddly enough, he didn’t.
At this point, obstructionism is just reflexive for this lot…
Horsetrading commences… Donald appears ripe for blackmail, so full speed forward…
I think they truly believe something is there to vindicate trump; if nothing is there then yeah, they’re just smearing shit in the wounds.
