Forever?!! Mr. McConnell, the average length of special counsel investigations, dating back to Watergate, is 904 days.

For example:

Whitewater, that eventually morphed into the Lewinsky scandal: 2,978 days.

Iran-Contra: 2,420 days.

Mueller’s probe: 394 days

not among Republicans, though. I suppose they see the hypocrisy and lying, but just don't give a hoot because it's their people who are lying.

Now, if it were Democrats that were constantly lying, they'd move heaven and earth to make them pay for their dishonesty. However, when they do it, it's perfectly fine with them.

so the proctologist had to be a female to elicit THAT shocked look!! Maybe he is afraid his "secret" will be exposed if the investigation continues? Hey, Mitch, we all KNOW.

But I would gladly give him over to the parents of the children he kidnapped and let them decide his fate, regardless of his mental impairments.

Investigation was longer than the investigation into Pearl Harbor, JFK's assassination, Watergate or 9/11.

We live in an era of short attention span theater. People expect instant results these days, in practically everything.

I want to see Trumpy jailed by Mueller's findings as much as anyone, but it's critical that Mueller be incredibly thorough so there's no escape route for Dolt 45. The special counsel is old school. I think he'll dot his Is and cross his Ts.

keep saying that Mr. Mueller hasn't found anything, and should wrap this up. We don't know all he has found because he is still investigating. Unlike these sell outs and traitors, Mr. Mueller is a consummate professional searching for the truth. If there is nothing to find, why not let the investigation carry on to conclusion? Brings to mind an old saying. The guilty dog barks the loudest.

Plus, I truly believe that Putin is pressuring these traitors to get Mueller to stop.

If they take down the Con & leave McConnell, we'll be down this road again. Also, if the deplorables found someone worse than Bush, they'll find someone worse than the Con.
