Okay Mitch! It's time to make your move.

[kentuck]

Mitch McConnell has been saying for a long time now that he did not see any need to have a vote to protect the Special Counsel investigation. Because he did not think Donald Trump was that unpredictable or unstable, I suppose?

Well, Mitch, it is time to make your place in history. Since the Senate voiced overwhelming approval to appoint Robert Mueller, in a bi-partisan way, it would be a stab in the back of the Legislature of our Government if you did not defend the stature of the US Senate.

It's a simple proposal. If no crimes were committed, no one will be charged. But we have a duty and a responsibility to go to no end to protect our country from foreign attacks. We should let Bob Mueller finish his job that we approved for him to do.

1. Bet he still sees no need. Mitch took his place in history about 14 months ago. imho

I hope I'm wrong

[kentuck]

3. You are right. Perhaps he would get a bit of redemption for the wisdom of old age?

And do something for our country?

[Skittles]

2. Mitch knew Trump would be president which was why he replaced Garland with Gorsuch

Mitch is knee-deep in the Russia scandal

[kentuck]

4. Then we may be as screwn as everybody says?

It's a portent of some great event about to happen, in my opinion. The irrationality and the unpredictability of everything.

5. I don't think Mitch is a DU member. nt

[kentuck]

6. What's the problem?

You don't believe in mental telepathy?

[TeamPooka]

8. Mitch may have secretly voted for Jill Stein in 2016

[kentuck]

9. Mitch is a senile old fart that should not be in office.

He should not be a US Senator, let alone their Majority Leader.

[Volaris]

14. To the contrary; I would suggest he's one of the craftiest, dirtiest, most dangerous opponent

The democratic elected party had ever had. He's good at what he does (maintaining his own Power), and the only way to bring him low is to see him either voted out of office, or indicted.

[TeamPooka]

16. dude stole a SCOTUS seat, smiling all the way. That's gangster evil shit right there.

[Volaris]

17. Yep Yep and anybody less skilled at being an evil fuck wouldn't have gotten away with it.

[underthematrix]

7. From what I have observed so far, Mueller has something in place to

remove indict and arrest Trump. I think Muller has already planned for this. Trump is not interested in just firing Mueller. Trump wanst to completely shut down the administration of justice involving any part of his his crime syndicate. This tells me if Trump fires MUller he'll be out of the WH in 24 hours.

[Mr. Ected]

10. There are two valid reasons for Congress to act RIGHT NOW

1. The NYT has reported that Trump wanted to fire Mueller back in December. He didn't, of course, but this is certainly something that he has contemplated and the higher the heat, the more likely it is that he will act.

2. Within the purview of his presidential powers, Trump COULD invalidate the current regulation that permits the establishment of a special counsel. He wouldn't be "firing" Mueller; he would undercut the very rule that created the office in the first place.

Ball is your court, Mitch. Be a good boy. Fetch us some democracy.

[kentuck]

11. You are absolutely right.

The Senate has a small window of opportunity to fix this problem before it gets out of hand. It is an unnecessary dereliction of duty to put it off even one more day.

[Mr. Ected]

12. Maybe the Republicans in Congress are skeered

1. Their coffers are awash with illegal Russian money
2. Their security was compromised and every one of them could be blackmailed by the Russians
3. At this point, we've seen more of Punxsutawney Phil this year than Ryan or McConnell

[kentuck]

13. They are skeered to death

For various reasons. Number one being that they do not want to lose their power.

[Corgigal]

15. Maybe the FBI

has a little black book on McConnell. I can't imagine they will allow a foreign asset to be at the head of power, with access to the intel we spend billion of dollars to find. Not to mention all of our lives, and our allies lives.

Might have a little sit down with Mitch. He's not clean, and as long playing within political boundaries, it may not have mattered. This is national security, and if he can't see the difference then he's putting himself, his family and bounty in with a Trumps lot. Not a good place to be.

[rsdsharp]

18. " Since the Senate voted overwhelmingly to appoint Robert Mueller, in a bi-partisan way. . ."

Not as special counsel. As FBI director, yes, but Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel, and there was no Senate vote.

19. Thanks for the correction:

I edited post to show correction.
