McConnell: Democrats are investigating Trump so we get to investigate Obama [View all]



By Josh Israel -May 22, 2020 12:15 PM

The GOP-led Senate wants to do oversight of the last administration rather than the current one.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday that because the House of Representatives is still doing oversight into Donald Trump and his administration, it should be able to conduct investigations into the Obama administration and the Bidens.

"The House of Representatives is arguing before the Supreme Court that they are still looking for yet another impeachment. They are arguing that before the Supreme Court this week," McConnell (R-KY) told Fox News, referencing a legal filing in which the House sought access to grand jury testimony from the Robert Mueller investigation.

McConnell called Senate investigations into the prosecution of General Michael Flynn, the origins of the Russia probe, and former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden's business dealings "a legitimate oversight responsibility for the Senate."

"If the house can spend time on a baseless impeachment effort then we should at least have oversight over what happened to initiate this whole process a couple of years ago," McConnell argued.

So in essence you think that your "guy's " should just shred the constitution and walk around and just fuck over the population and lie and cheat and while 40 million human beings are out of job, struggling with unemployment, mortgage payments, renters payments, school debt payments, and putting food on the table.............your "gang" is throwing a hissy fit and want to go after a former sitting president on some false accusations, really, if you want to go down that path, lets bring back Bush/ Cheney, because your present job requirement for your job should be passing the Hero's Act instead of creating a deflection and the continued evisceration of the checks and balances.........while your making $225,000 a year being a complete libertarian ass, along with your comrades making $174,000 a year, and them also being complete libertarian asses.......while this country is melting down with the simple fact that people are dying, a lot of people are dying............96,000 and counting...............
