"I agree with the president’s lawyers that Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job,” McConnell said Tuesday. “I think it was an excellent appointment. I think he will go wherever the facts lead him, and I think he will have great credibility with the American people when he reaches the conclusion of this investigation. So I have a lot of confidence in him.”

Wow McConnell…no profiles in courage for any of YOU is there? You just talk out of both sides of your mouth and hope you can weasel out no matter how the chips fall.

McConnell: “Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job…wherever the facts lead him."

Then, remembering how the Kremlin illegally funded dozens of GOP campaigns in 2016, he quickly added:

“As long as he doesn’t go in the basement.”

My thoughts too…I hope Mitch gets what has long…way too long…been coming to him.

Coming from the same guy who refused to sign a bipartisan statement about Russian interference in the elections, this is not surprising.

I’d say that McConnell’s next-of-kin was a rattlesnake, but rattlesnakes have a useful place in the ecosystem, unlike Mitch.

“I agree with the president’s lawyers that Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job,” McConnell said Tuesday.

But his lawyers never said he should be allowed to finish his job…Is yurtle firing a shot over trumps bow…

“I agree with the president’s lawyers that Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job,”

Perhaps your head was in your shell on Sunday when this was the headline: John Dowd says

It’s time to end the Mueller probe

You generally can’t have it both ways? But I guess its GOP Rules here.

When people ask what I find so bad about this administration (and so many on the right continue to speak this way)… I respond saying the the president is a pathological liar and the top officials in the GOP endlessly and corruptly dismiss his vile threats to other Americans as just his style.

Disgusting and shameful.

But did you notice he said ‘finish’ 2 or 3 times? I can hear him in his bullshit statesman voice–‘it’s time to wrap this up, 18 months is longer than the Watergate Investigation, if there was a smoking gun they would have found it, the Mueller investigation is starting to smell like sour grapes’ trying to set up a drumbeat in the echo chambers to pressure Mueller to back off, and if he doesn’t, washing his hands of whatever Trump does.
