No matter what Nunes says tonight-Remember-Sen McConnell walked out & declared support for Mueller

No matter what @DevinNunes says tonight, remember that @SenateMajLdr walked out of the Gang of 8 meeting and declared his support for the Mueller investigation.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told NPR in an interview that he continues to support the Mueller Russia investigation — and that nothing in Thursday's hotly anticipated secret briefing on the Russia probe to congressional leaders changed his mind.

"The two investigations going on that I think will give us the answers to the questions that you raise — the [inspector general] investigation in the Justice Department and the Mueller investigation," McConnell said. "I support both of them, and I don't really have anything to add to this subject based upon the Gang of Eight briefing that we had today, which was classified."

McConnell spoke with NPR immediately following a classified intelligence briefing from law enforcement and intelligence officials. The Gang of Eight — a bipartisan group of the four top congressional leaders and the four bipartisan leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees — met with representatives from the Department of Justice and the FBI to discuss materials regarding a confidential FBI source who met with Trump campaign officials.

McConnell has remained the most prominent congressional Republican to defend Mueller and his investigation amid a concerted effort by Trump and conservative supporters to discredit that investigation.

McConnell knows that Donald will be taken down by Mueller. in fact, anybody in the GOP with even a slight amount of intelligence knows it. McConnell wants to teeter on the right side of history AND keep his office, so he knows better than to try to discredit Mueller.

Now he can say he supported the investigation, even as it should NOT find him complicit.

Mark my words, when the time comes this reptile will absolutely cut a deal to save his own shell.

I’ve seen him stab members of his own party in the back, so to say that I expect him to be impartial towards Mueller would be a lie.
