McConnell: 'Time to move on' from Trump impeachment talk

[orangecrush]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday hit back at calls from some Democrats to start impeachment proceedings against President Trump, saying it's "time to move on."

"Well, look, I think it's time to move on. This investigation was about collusion, there's no collusion, no charges brought against the president on anything else, and I think the American people have had quite enough of it," McConnell told reporters in Kentucky, according to NBC News.

McConnell is one of 14 GOP senators, some of whom were members of the House at the time, who in 1998 either voted to either impeach or convict then-President Clinton on obstruction charges.

Impeachment proceedings would have to be initiated in the House. If the lower chamber passed impeachment articles against a president a trial would then be held in the Senate, which has successfully never voted to remove a president from office.

1. Yeah, let's take advice from Moscow Mitch

[orangecrush]

4. Let's not!

[padah513]

2. I want an investigation into the Russian interference

Namely, what was McConnell's involvement in it.

[orangecrush]

5. Likewise.

17. +1,

[Iliyah]

3. McTurtle needs to STFU . .

Anywho, Democrats will gather the necessary evidence to move forward. Democrats also need to review the complete unredacted report hopefully coming from Mueller directly. Barr is not to be trusted. McTurtle and other Republicans have reviewed the full unredacted Mueller's report.

[orangecrush]

6. Indeed.

Your post is spot on.

[Shell_Seas]

7. Why do repubes keep saying it was about collusion?

It was about obstruction, which was proved. Plus collusion isn't a really thing. However, conspiracy is, and that was proven too.


Oh ya, their own narrative....

12. +1

8. It's not up to you, Senator

Impeachment is the sole prerogative of the House of Representatives. The Senate's input isn't required, or, I'm guessing, particularly welcome. So, no, it's not "time to move on" from anything, especially something that hasn't even started.

[orangecrush]

10. THANK YOU!!!

[SWBTATTReg]

9. Anything you say Mitch and we're going to do the opposite, since you're so full of it...

In reality, Americans are just getting started...and we haven't gotten enough of the Mueller report since (1) your crony Barr hide the majority of this report from the American people.

Yeah, right, we've had enough, but mostly we have enough of your nonsense and ridiculous republican lies and nonsense.

I think the American people have had quite enough of it," McConnell told reporters

[spanone]

11. That's comedy gold, mitch

[standingtall]

13. Another reason why the house should impeach Trump

to stop taking shit off of Trump,McConnell and the rest of the republicans in office.

[orangecrush]

32. Agree

Turtle has made the best argument for impeachment.

[delisen]

14. McConnell just gave Russian oligarch beachhead in Kentucky

McConnell ended sanctions for Deripaska company and the aluminum plant is being built in Kentucky to supply aluminum - not for anything US needs but for building a wall or fence with one of our neighbors which, unlike Russia is not an adversarial country that helped Trump get elected.

So Russians profit, some Kentuckians get jobs, and the rest of us get ...............

and the message is human rights and aggression do not matter, the key to taking over US by a foreign power is not violent warfare but is controlling the vote counting in the US, and taking advantage of opportunities to bank roll American politicians.

15. Ha ha ha! Trump CANNOT move on!

The most hilarious part about this messaging attempt is that Trump can't do it! Trump will tweet about this every day!

And his tweets will be even more insane if we start impeachment proceedings, which is one reason we should do it.

33. +1

[mithnanthy]

16. To McConnell...

YOU move along..you OLD FART!

[RANDYWILDMAN]

18. It's pretty telling when he's up to his neck in it,

He just changes the subject, nothing to see here, move along

Merrick Garland move along
Russian interference move along
Comey fired move along
NRA getting huge russian money move along
The trump crime family syndicate move along
Deripaska sanctions removed , and new mills moving to KY move along

HILARY EMAILS.....HOLD The FREAKING PHONE time to do our duty to INVESTIGATE or insert any action by any Democrat ever.

[malaise]

19. Someone should tell the turtle that

the Democratic Party Control the House of Representatives.

[Mike Nelson]

20. Mitch is dumb, lying, or suffering from brain problems...

...the investigation was not about collusion - it's explicitly stated in the report. It was never an investigation about collusion.

[LiberalFighter]

21. Time for Mitch to spend time in prison. Along with his wife.

[spanone]

22. Time to move on from mcconnell

america has been soiled enough

[davsand]

23. Turtle Boy can suck it.

GAWD, but he is a POS.

[Paladin]

24. Eat shit, turtle boy. (nt)

[John Fante]

25. We'll decide when it's time to move on, fuckhead.

[louis-t]

26. Yes, by all means, let the criminal stay in the WH.

Asshole.

[ck4829]

27. Remove impeachment

[MagickMuffin]

28. Mitch McConnell you are NOT the arbitrator of time.

So, quit telling everyone what time is suppose to be.

Also, perhaps the Democrats need to do some deep investigations into McConnell's dealings with the Russians!!!

[riversedge]

29. PAST time to put McConnell out to pasture.

[MyOwnPeace]

30. I SO want to see

his turtle-ass locked up - you KNOW he's up to his turtle-neck in this shit - it is time for him to drown in it!

[walkingman]

31. Who cares what McConnell says??

[bluestarone]

34. I want this fuckers life destroyed!!

COMPLETELY!

[kentuck]

35. Naturally!

That's Mitch! He's complicit.

[OliverQ]

36. How has McConnell not be indicted for anything?

He literally broadcasts that he's a traitor to this country on a daily basis.

[ProudLib72]

37. That sounds like, "Nothing to see here folks. Move along now."

Like what you'd hear from a rent a cop outside a mall that a train has just run into and wrecked.

[orangecrush]

38. Well put!
