The Republicans are in full cover-up mode.

They don't want to hear from Mueller. They prefer to hear from Barr and Trump. What are they afraid of?

Chuck Schumer accused Republicans of trying to cover up the Russian attack on our election system.

But why?

McConnell must have had a little talk with Trump last night. He wanted to talk about the Russia investigation being over. The case is closed, he says.

The White House is blocking all requests from Congress and the Senate is obstructing in every way they can. They would like to change the polls so they say the people agree with them.

They are very fearful that the truth is going to come out. So, they have gone into cover-up mode.

they have been in cover up mode since mid 2016 in the case of the current regime... they are just going into defcon 1 now that they are on the brink of being completely exposed to the public.

It's here, folks. The fan is on high and there's a big pile of * on a platter being aimed right at it, when the trigger gets released in the coming weeks... I have my poncho in my backpack at all times now.

McConnell is scared of the China Money that came through his PAC's and onto other Campaign's.

...and it rhymes with "crimes" and he just escaped to Moscow to avoid being thrown in jail like Manafort, his buddy helping the crime boss Trump to be bribed by Moscow. Building funds in exchange for Putin/Oligarch/Crime Boss-friendly policies.

There is NOTHING Mitch McConnell can do about that. Senate Democrats will continue to defy McConnell. All the more reason to win back the Senate. It is worth it to restore the rule of law in this country.

Tie McConnell to that breakdown of the Rule of Law. He is covering up for Trump.

They have hijacked the federal government via the Electoral College and Senate and they are ruling from the minority. They have no intention of recognizing the Democratic majority in the House as a legitimate check on their power. They also have made clear that their intention is to represent only the people who vote for them, i.e., mostly white rural and suburban conservatives. They are determined to transform the country by brute force into a place where only they and their base have a say in policy and to make the country unlivable for anyone who doesn't go along.

This is why any further talk of bipartisanship is totally foolish. They abandoned any pretense of working together long ago. Our nation is in serious trouble.
