In fact, my staff was told the State Department, as of today, was
ordered not to talk to Congress about this issue," Rubio told reporters
Monday evening. “I don’t know the reason. Maybe, perhaps, they’re still
kind of working through how this is going to apply, so perhaps they
don’t want to give us information that is wrong.”
Oh, yeah, that totally fucking has to be it because President Bannon has been such a stickler for getting things right up to this point.
Congressional republicans are just trying to run out the clock. Make a couple of passes at the fainting couch and hope the regular news cycle whisks it away. Which, of course, it will because it doesn’t involve Hillary’s email.
I am pestering my congresspeeps and news outlets, by the way. We can’t let them normalize this crap.
Yeah, the attitude adjustment took place approximately 10.5 days ago.
The problem with Rubio is just like his vote for the head of the State Dept. He talks out of one side of his mouth but in the end he will go with Trump on this just like all the other times. He has no spine about anything.
An executive branch agency has been “ordered” not to speak to congress? And the senator in question is just shrugging his shoulders?
If Pres. Obama had done something remotely like this, Rubio and the rest of the republicans would have initiated impeachment proceedings on the spot.
Why would anyone talk with Rubio or his staff ?
Trouble is Marco , you are NOT important enough .
Pretty clear that Trump himself had no idea what he was doing. Did he or did he not intend to include green card holders? Did the order they drafted give the people who received it any clue on that point?
Well. Marco, the other possibility might be that administration people are talking to your staff but your people signed a NDA and they are not allowed to talk to you about anything. Situation Normal, All Fucked Up.
A sitting senator is accepting the fact trump has ordered the State Department to keep secrets from him and his colleagues.
It appears as if we already have a full and complete lame-duck 115th U.S. Congress. trump now has free-reign to be the businessman he has proven himself to be … corrupt.
Little Marco- here is an idea. Call up Trump and tell him you want answers asap. Tell him that you will not roll over like a little puppy. In sum, grow a pair.
No spine, no balls !
Stay on this “Little Marco”, the country is in need of ethics and leadership. A rare combination among Republicans. Show us you can be presidential.
