Bill Kristol is trying to warn McConnell to do something before it is too late?

[kentuck]

There is an ominous cloud hanging over this investigation that could be removed by a simple vote to support the investigation but McConnell refuses to act? What will he say when Mueller is fired and there are not enough votes to continue the investigation? This appears to be the direction we are headed.

1. why on earth would congress do that?

3. Good question.

But once Mueller is gone, I do not see the investigation continuing in a credible way. It will, for all intents and purposes, be over.

One man, Donald Trump, will be proven to be above the law. Once that is permitted to happen, the idea of justice in our country will have been dealt a fatal blow, in my opinion.

4. In the absence of checks and balances....

... we green light tr-dump to become a full fledged absolute dictator. Then fasten your seatbelts and put on your crash helmet the ride is then going to get much more bumpier and nauseating.

5. Before it's too late for the Republicans, though

almost all honest observers believe it is far too late for them to hold their current power in congress and state legislatures, no matter what they do. The question is how bad their losses will be.

I'd like to point out that jailing traitors is not the biggest battle here and now. FIRST we get control of congress, then we can tend to what the Republicans refuse to.

6. Yeh right

His wife is in the Con's cabinet. He refused hearing for Obama's Judicial nominee. He refused to support Obama's bipartisan investigation of Russia's involvement in the elections.

Sure - he can be expected to do the right thing

We are so screwed.

The GOP is sold out to the Russians.

8. I really hate being a pessimist in these times.

My two hiking pals have put all their eggs in the Mueller basket.
