Discussion: McCain Says He Has 'More Hope Than Belief' GOP Congress Will Probe Trump

He said that “there’s probably going to be some more shoes to drop” with regard to Russian interference in the 2016 election

Devastating coming from McCain. This investigation definitely has legs. Time to get McConnell and Ryan on the record as well.

And Democrats need to run to the end zone with this and fight Trump, truly an illegitimate President, on everything.

McCain is back where he’s most comfortable, on Sunday morning gasbag fests saying stuff just because he’s asked about them.

Charitable, so full-of-fuckin-wishful-thinking interpretation is he cued USIC there. But no… he’s still just talking.

Then candidate Trump insulted McCain as a loser for a being captured POW.
McCain eventually kissed up to Trump to get reelected in AZ.
Now President Trump couldn’t care less about anything McCain says.

Yep. He’s in a position to know. And whether or not he consistently fights like a tiger for what’s true and just, you know he’s a bit of a troublemaker. He’d put a stick in Trump’s spokes just out of general dislike and desire to stir the pot, make stuff happen. Like a cat pushing little things off a table, just for the fun of it.

ETA look how we’re all over the place on this! Tells you something about McCain, I think.

Oh, and Priebus, just this morning, is saying he knows of no connections between Trump’s people and Russian agents. What a lying sack of shit!

And I’m sure McCain hasn’t forgotten those comments questioning his heroism and the less than half-hearted support Trump gave him during this past Senate campaign.

Payback’s a bitch.

“Can Americans be confident that a Republican-controlled Congress can investigate this President thoroughly if necessary?” Chuck Todd asked McCain.

Ummm… Chuck, Rand Paul already answered this question for us:

“I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party. We’ll never even get started with doing the things we need to do, like repealing Obamacare, if we’re spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense,” Paul said.

And since Priebus knows no Russian agents, any connection to “Trump’s people” will be like multiplying by zero.

Yeah, and the most recent shift is from his scathing speech in Munich to this talk, just one day in between…

To my dismay, I agree with Rand. But of course for different reasons…

What we need is a select committee. And (a) special prosecutor(s). GOPers have been shielding PeePee from the real investigation. And they don’t even want this “Repubs investigate Repubs” thing either only because it would make them look bad no matter what, regardless of which way such investigations go.
