McConnell gets on board!

[cilla4progress]

President-elect Donald Trump may have belittled the conclusions of the CIA that Russians hacked the presidential election in Trump’s favor, but Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) backed congressional investigations into the matter Monday.

“Any foreign breech of our cyber-security measures is disturbing, and I strongly condemn any such efforts,” McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill.

1. I thought he was against an investigation? n/t

[cilla4progress]

2. Dunno

This was this morning...

[Jeroen]

13. Thanks, we will see

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. He just needed time to negotiate ensuring his culpability isn't included in the investigation.

[MFM008]

3. But but

Then the Mrs. Wouldn't have a cushy job.

7. If Trump overplayed his hand ...

... Chao may be OK with it. Especially if she'd already have a better job with a Pence administration, which I see all this leading to.

[cilla4progress]

10. No...

I think Pence is tied to Trump on this. ...

No idea where it goes from here.

[ZoomBubba]

17. If Trump is gone, Pence is in.

It's just too obvious. Pence has been playing this very careful. He will spin things for Trump but he will make sure to make you think that's not necessarily what he believes. The GOP put him in there because they figured the VP would be the actual president in all but name. Apparently, that's not how it's turning out and I think if they make a move, it will be to get behind Pence.

19. I agree it's their goal

But I think he's tainted

[ZoomBubba]

21. But ...

... he's predictable domestically and status quo as far as foreign policy. We'd at least go to sleep knowing we're not going to be invading China in the morning.

[leftofcool]

4. Yea, after people called you a traitor.

[ZoomBubba]

5. His wife ...

... is on tap for transportation secretary, so I'm not sure how "onboard" he really is.

[denbot]

6. That little shit isn't just felling the heat.

There is also a change in the wind. Not even Faux Snuz can save him from being associated with treason.

[WhiteTara]

8. Maybe all the calls telling he that he's a traitor

shook him up?

[Ellipsis]

9. Somebody had a come to Jesus meeting with the turtle.

Treason, pretty serious issue that.

[Frustratedlady]

12. Maybe McCain...

I can't see much love lost between them. McCain could have stepped on his shell until McTurtle yelled, "Uncle!"

I'd love to see them proceed with an investigation, find him guilty of treason and wipe that sick grin off his face. The only good thing about a KKK hood is it covers up his mug.

[longship]

11. Wait. Just wait. You'll see. nt

[janx]

14. He seems to be taking over.

...and he had to get that dig in about Obama re Russia.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

15. BS, it does not matter what they SAY you have to watch what they actually DO!!!

We're being played, again and again and will be for the next four years. Don't believe it when they try to manipulate the narrative by seemingly to be speaking rationally when behind the curtain they laugh at a gullible public. McConnell is a demented, unreasonable asshole that will gladly do Mr. Greed's dirty work for him.

His lips are moving, so figure it out, just look at the asswipe's record, he's evil incarnate, while being run by his masters - MONEY and POWER!

[oasis]

18. McConnell is responding to the heat put on him by recent revelations

about him being strongly against the release of pre-election Russian hacking. He is full of shit.

[JTFrog]

20. More like, McConnell tries to cover his ass! nt

[AgadorSparticus]

22. Exactly!!
