Murkowski, who last week voted to acquit the president on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, told reporters on Wednesday that she was disturbed to see Trump pushing the DOJ to lower its sentencing recommendations for Roger Stone, his longtime ally who was convicted on charges of perjury, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice.

“The President weighs in, all of a sudden, Justice comes back and says change the deal,” Murkowski said. “I think most people in America would look at that and say hmm, that just doesn’t look right.”

2. "Hmm, that just doesn't look right."

The Hindenburg blows up. "Hmm, that just doesn’t look right.” Airplanes hit the World Trade Center. "Hmm, that just doesn’t look right.” Godzilla crushes Tokyo. "Hmm, that just doesn’t look right.”

How does she even walk upright without any spine?

Fuck them.

4. Moscow Mitch probably convinced them

that he could control the idiot in the White House.

I hope they all have complete insomnia, knowing that they unleashed this monster who was only marginally tethered to begin with.

And indigestion, migraine, creeping red fescue, and poetrivialis!!

There.

7. No, I think Mitch convinced them he could get away with it, and they'd better fall into lock-step.

I don't think he could say "I'll control him" with a straight face.

I think he asked them what was more important, doing what is "right," or looking after their own self-interests, and they all responded accordingly.

5. Obviously, Trump learned his lesson.

This Republican Senator is not fooling me when she pretends to care about justice after acquitting Trump.

8. They've gone wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ay past appearances and optics...

They don't care what it looks like. In fact they're rubbing our faces in it and daring us to "do something" to stop them.

It may be too late.

9. "I'm concerned. I'm disturbed. I'm distressed. I'm surprised."

So, how do you vote, Ms. Murkowski, Ms. Collins?

"I vote with trump."

Those two want to pretend to be "moderates" and "objective"... to protect their cushy jobs, but they're as Republican as any. VOTE THEM OUT.

10. Gee Senator

If only you had a chance to do something about that. Oh well. Whaddyagonnado?

11. You're an idiot Lisa

[ooky]

12. When she had a chance to stand against this behavior by a president - she didn't.

Now I have no interest in anything she has to say. He gets to abuse his power freely now because of her. She is a hypocrite to call it out. He'll do it daily now because she enabled it. Hope she enjoys watching the monster she created.

Its too late to get a conscience now lady. Your words ring hollow. They will ring hollow throughout history. You own him.
