... but I can't see any down side to his deciding there really are three branches of government even if Trump is pres when the issue is Russian hacking.

(1,975 posts)This is after he sat in on those briefings way before the election talking about Russian interference in the election. He was quoted as saying that if it went public, he would scream from the roof that it was a partisan hit job. Now his wife has a cushy Trump admin job?? Nothing to see here, move along!

(26,355 posts)Up until today he was dismissive of Putingate, but now the stench is bad enough he has to distance himself.
Yeah, I'm not exactly accusing Mitch McConnell of being a decent human being...

I'd want nothing more than him to have a colonoscopy with Negan's bat.

(382 posts)According to Chris Hayes, (whose tweet I searched an hour to find again for reference, but couldn't) he tweeted how he expects it all to go down like it always does:
If the Dems don't act fast to find and stash the evidence they find, McConnell and/or his repub cabal will find it first and remove it to cover the proof that implicates them.
Then they will say in the name of national security, the findings cannot be published because it will contain classified information that could be a threat to national security because might be leaked.
So they will want to appoint a commission (like the 911 commission, oh yeah, we remember how that ended up) to complete the task and hence tie it up and bog it down for months or even years. At that point, if there's any public outrage over the findings and/or delays, they will blame it on the Dems like they always do and the Dems will roll over and play dead, LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO.
The Dems need to secretly and quietly find the proof NOW!!! Without McConnell and his evil band of perpetrators.
I will continue to search for this Twitter post to verify this info or will try to email Chris directly about it.
