Senator Burr (R- NC) had a pleasant little conversation with the President...

[kentuck]

...this morning.

Now, why do you think Donald Trump would call the Chair of Senate Committee investigating the Russian connection?

What do you think he wanted to talk about?

1. Three guesses...

first two don't count.

2. Is it too extreme and paranoid to consider whether

SCROTUS might actually start ordering people to be killed, like his idol and master Putin? Or is my tinfoil hat too tight? Or is he at least threatening people? "Nice little Senate seat ya got there. Wouldn't want anything to happen to it..."

6. That wouldn't be necessary with Burr.

He's one of my senators, and he's as corrupt as they come.

[BannonsLiver]

13. I wouldn't be surprised if that was discussed regarding Comey

The firing might well have been "Plan B".

3. it's called interfering with a senate investigation.

5. +1000

[kentuck]

11. A good point!

That should be made at every opportunity.

16. How is this not like the optics of Bill Clinton on the tarmac with Lynch? nt

.@SenJohnMcCain, to @mkraju: if you fire someone like Comey "you better have a good explanation and so far I have not seen that."

MCCAIN tells me that firing Comey over Clinton emails is NOT "sufficient rationale;" renews call for special panel

9. i have great confidence that john mccain will come around.

[cos dem]

14. I wish I did, but I don't.

McCain and Graham always seem to find a way to cave.

[spanone]

15. you mis-read my post, but i think we're on the same page

[cos dem]

18. Ah, i get it. Sarcasm ain't always easy on intertubes.

[spanone]

19. sorry bout that.

[Thinkingabout]

7. But but but Trump is not being investigated.

[Snotcicles]

8. Burr should have declined because of the appearance of impropriety.

That is if he has any ethics at all.

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Burr is one of "my" (NC) Senators...and a pretty useless asshole, to tell the truth.

[kentuck]

12. Also, wasn't he recruited by Trump to sell his story to the press?

When this issue first arose??

[awesomerwb]

20. I think Graham put out a really wimpy pro-Trump letter yesterday.

This is a disaster.
