Has Mueller asked Mitch McConnell what he knew about Trump and Russia? He should.

[ffr]

As the nation digests the latest blockbuster developments in the case of the Russian asset in the Oval Office, don't forget the powerful domestic assistance Trump got in this election from Republican leadership in Congress.

If the infamous private musings of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in June 2016 are any indication, Trump's indebtedness to Putin was just assumed. "There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump," McCarthy quipped, a conversation quickly nipped in the bud by House Speaker Paul Ryan. "No leaks," he immediately interjected. "This is how we know we're a real family here."

That's the assumption Republican leadership had about Trump. And when it became clear after Trump had secured the nomination and Russia was interfering in the presidential election, when the nation's intelligence agencies had that information and presented it to congressional leadership, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell covered it up.

Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy all knew about Trump's ties to Putin, suspected his indebtedness to Putin, and knew Russia was trying to get Trump elected. They knew it before the election and they let it happen. They didn't just turn a blind eye, as in McConnell's case, but actively kept the American people in the dark.- Daily Kos

1. I will never be convinced that McTurtle wasn't in on it from the very beginning

The idea that he would stonewall hearings on Merrick Garland without knowing that the election was rigged, especially considering that pretty much the entire world was certain that Secretary Clinton would be the next president, strains credulity far beyond the breaking point.

5. Yeah, it was just dumb luck that Mitch McConnell's wife got a spot in the Trump cabinet

And there was this guy Gorsuch waiting to replace Scalia

6. I agree, and if he took any money he knew was funneled to him from russians for putin.

HE's got to be nervous with many other republicans that knew they were getting putin funneled money. They'll all become exposed.

7. It would be so delicious if he showed up as a 'non indicted co-conspirator'...
