Chuck Schumer Accuses Mitch McConnell Of Leading A Cover-Up For Trump


Senate Democratic leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of leading a cover-up for Trump.

Schumer said on the Senate floor, “So our leader says let’s move on, it’s over, sort of like Richard Nixon saying let’s move on at the height of the investigation of his wrongdoing. Of course, he wants to move on. He wants to cover up. He wants to silence on one of the most serious issues we face. Whether a foreign power can manipulate our elections, the wellspring of our democracy. If the leader is sincere, then put election security on the floor. Let’s debate it. Put sanctions on Russia on the floor. Let’s debate it. He doesn’t want to move on. He wants to run away. ”

Mitch McConnell has been running a cover up for Trump

Mitch McConnell has been running a Russia cover up for Trump since the 2016 election. It was McConnell who refused to join with Obama in denouncing Russian election interference in the 2016 campaign. The Senate Majority Leader has been downplaying the role of the Russians while getting hundreds of millions of dollars for his state, so it is no surprise that McConnell is now declaring case closed, and telling everyone to move on.

Mitch McConnell has taken over for House Republicans as the leader of the Trump cover-up in Congress. McConnell is moving in lockstep with the White House. Sen. Schumer was right. Mitch McConnell isn’t moving on. He’s running away.

[DemocracyMouse]

17. And THIS is what he's running away from. He's Trump's and McConnell's lynchpin. His name is Simes

...and it rhymes with "crimes" and he JUST escaped to Moscow to avoid being thrown in jail like Manafort, his buddy helping the crime boss Trump to be bribed by Moscow. BUILDING CONSTRUCTION FUNDS in exchange for Putin/Oligarch/Crime Boss-friendly policies.

19. All of the Republicans are traitors.

[tymorial]

2. With all due respect to Chuch Schumer...

well duh!

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. We have to understand the massive numbers of Americans who either know NOTHING

about ANY of this or are completely and totally CERTAIN that rump and mcconnell are the good guys and we are the traitors.

SCARY how divided and ignorant this country is, or some of it.

So sure, duh to us, we are paying attention and we are patriots, but to millions this is news. If they read it at all.

[StarfishSaver]

6. People call them weak when they don't say what they want them to say

And then they say "well, duh" when they say what they want them to say.

[ProudLib72]

10. Now Eliot, you are forgetting that the base would rather be Russian than Democrat

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. That is what they think, now. But when it is time to turn over their house, cars, everything

not so much

God damn these are stupid fuckers

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. They wouldn't be if they knew what life in Russia

Is like.

[lagomorph777]

20. SHould that lady put the SARCASM emoji on her flag?

I assume she can't be serious. Gods I hope she isn't.

[ProudLib72]

22. She definitely is

It was at a Rumper rally: https://www.wweek.com/news/2017/03/04/lake-oswego-march-4-trump-devolves-into-incoherent-animal-noises/

[lagomorph777]

23. "trump-devolves-into-incoherent-animal-noises"

[ProudLib72]

24. Yeah, I liked that description, too

If the MSM would just report that way, all would be great!

[Xolodno]

36. A friend of mine were talking...

...hadn't seen him in years. So while talking I brought up that its pretty obvious Trump got in because of Russia. He said "You think so?" I responded, "Well of course, we've fucking around with other nations elections for decades, so much so, we can't tell the difference sometimes....so we left a door open and they walked in. Why in the fuck wouldn't they? And of course Russia is benefiting from the fact we have someone in charge who is completely inept." He went silent....and he'll still probably vote for his home team.

[saidsimplesimon]

13. Eliot, you nailed the

cause of my many years of frustration with the majority of our population who have no time for civic or political involvement. The majority have little use for political bickering. It doesn't put a much needed dime in their pockets.

I have the luxury of retirement on a modest income.

[oldtime dfl_er]

3. We need more and more of this

louder and from every corner!

[madamesilverspurs]

5. That's not an accusation.

It's just a matter of stating the obvious.

[justhanginon]

7. Mitch McConnell is at best an abettor to the corrupt trump regime

and at worst a traitor to his country. I am leaning towards traitor to this country at this point. He cares only about power and money and the country and its citizens be dammned. I hope he rots in a special place in hell.

[CrispyQ]

8. "He doesn't want to move on. He wants to run away."

Bravo!

[Iliyah]

9. Yes!

Keep repeating it . . .

McTurtle knew that the Russian were infiltrating the USA's presidential elections in 2016 and welcomed it.

[lagomorph777]

21. Turtle began the coverup in 2016 when Obama came to him, asking permission to save the USA.

Yeah, I disagree with both parties' actions on that occasion. But yeah, hindsight and all.

[pdsimdars]

12. Good on you Chuck . . . .and many more.

[Sherman A1]

15. And Water is wet

[2naSalit]

29. The point is that

his speaking it on the floor, though we may all know this and agree, it is now officially preserved in the Senate record. This will matter eventually.

[Sherman A1]

37. Oh, that's the point

Thank You so much for the clarification.....

[Aristus]

16. Good. Put Mitch McChinless on the defensive!

Keep hammering him. Push him hard enough, and he'll throw Trump to the wolves to save his own skin.

[2naSalit]

30. Wolves wouldn't have anything to do with that foul thing!

They have too much self respect, besides, no nutrition on that carcass.


Maybe crocodiles...

[Texin]

18. Hell to the yeah!, Chuck. Keep it coming.

That is exactly what McConnell is doing - or attempting to do - with the aid and comfort of his retrumplican allies in the Senate. Keep stating this and shouting it out at every turn. McConnell and the whole passel of these treasonous crooks is involved.

And when you get 500+ former Federal Prosecutors co-sponsoring an open letter to the people of the United States saying that tRump (and by extension, the retrumplican party headed by McConnell) have obstructed and are currently active in obstructing justice, there are more and more people with respected credentials and reputations who are willing to point their collective fingers at this treasons and execrable lot and shout it to the mountain tops.

25. KR NT

[kimbutgar]

26. McConnell should be investigated for sedition against our government

Why does this swarmy lying pos allowed to stay in office? From preventing metrics Agarland getting a hearing to covering up Russian intervention in our election why is this guy not being investigated and outed as a traitor?

[2naSalit]

31. Perhaps he is...

we just don't hear about active investigations.

[defacto7]

33. I sure hope you're right.

[2naSalit]

34. I do too...nt

[defacto7]

32. In that lies one of the flaws in our constitution

that we are finding out needs to be changed.

[elleng]

27. GOOD!

He wants to cover up.

If the leader is sincere, then put election security on the floor. Let’s debate it. Put sanctions on Russia on the floor. Let’s debate it. He doesn’t want to move on. He wants to run away. ”

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Mitch McConnell - one of "our friends across the aisle?"

That's pretty harsh.

[2naSalit]

35. It's part of

rules of engagement on the Senate floor. No matter how you disagree with another member, you must still address/refer to them with respect.

[TheCowsCameHome]

38. There's no need to kiss their butts.

Simply address them as "Senator" or "Representative"

This crop of GOP slugs deserves minimal respect.
