DC Tribune suggests McConnell may be under investigation by Mueller [View all]

Mitch McConnell Likely Under Investigation By Bob Mueller Over Ties To Russia’s Hacking Of 2016 Elections

It’s hard to imagine how life could get much worse for Republicans in advance of the 2108 midterm elections, but we here at DC Tribune think we might know of one, and it comes from the same source that’s been the scourge of the Trump administration since May 17th, 2017: The Robert Mueller Special Counsel investigation.

And honestly, what could possibly be worse news for the GOP than to find out that one or more of their leaders were being focused on as part of that investigation?

We already know almost as a matter of course that Mueller is looking into statements made in private between members of the House GOP leadership, joking about fellow Republicans and even the President being on Vladimir Putin’s payroll. That’s not the type of discussion that doesn’t make it into a final report about who knew what and when.

Unfortunately for him, it looks like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may have known enough in advance to warrant a thorough investigation by Mueller’s team over what looks like at the very least some obstruction of justice charges of his own. Questions that Mueller would likely want answers to[.]


...........................................................

I've thought for a long time that Mueller should be investigating members of Congress as well as tRump & Co. There are just too many GOPers wandering around ignoring Treason for it just to be Politics as usual.

Note: I don't know how reliable a source this paper is, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Mueller were investigating McConnell, Ryan, Nunes, and others.
