<snip>
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.

1. Fuck McLipless

We all know where that dried-up turtle's loyalties are...

2. There is a lot more than collusion. There is a whole lot of counterintellegience evidence that is ..

still being gone through... Don't forget about that.

[Raster]

4. Believe me, the last Comrade McConnell* wants is for a thorough counterintelligence investigation...

[PeeJ52]

3. ... and NBC sat there and didn't say a word about McConnell calling for Clinton's head for less...

after a lot longer investigation that started about a real estate deal and ended about obstruction of justice over 15 years later.

5. If we aren't impeaching, the public will get the impression that McConnell is right

We must start impeachment proceedings because the Mueller report is so serious.

8. Wong, plus this is McConnell DARING us to impeach, he knows what all seasoned

politicians know.

McConnell is an actual traitor to the USA, I want him and the other traitors out and I am for impeachment, what I will NEVER do is BLAME the Democrats for anything at this point.

Many here seem more than willing to blame Democrats while republicans refuse to do anything.

11. If not voting on Merrick Garland was so outrageous, where was the anger?

Democrats were properly angered over Merrick Garland but they did not properly market that anger.

The public didn't even know anything was happening.

If we don't start impeachment proceedings fairly soon, the public will assume there is nothing in the Mueller report. The public is not going to read a 448 page report.

12. Well said. SO true.

The longer the delay the longer it looks like a nothing burger to those that marginally care.

13. THIS !!!!

10. Nah, no one takes McConnell seriously.

Not even Republicans.

Besides, what else is he going to say?

6. We'll tell you when it's tine, Mitch

Just get back to your Russians and your vote suppression. Leave democracy to the rest of us.

7. Mitch doesn't want people to know about the money given to the NRA or...

...the $250 million dollars contributed to his PAC by the Russians?

He is complicit as all hell.
