Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told the Washington Examiner that it’s time for special counsel Robert Mueller to conclude the federal probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Moscow by President Trump.

Said McConnell: “What I think about the Mueller investigation is, they ought to wrap it up. It’s gone on seemingly forever and I don’t know how much more they think they can find out.”

1. Mueller must have found out something damaging about McConnell

How long did Ken Starr's investigation go on for again? And how many Benghazi probes were there?

[DownriverDem]

11. That would be

years!!!!!!!!

[lagomorph777]

14. #NRAROUBLES It's pretty obvious McConnell is colluding. It's time to flip the Senate.

Mueller's report is going to some down hard on a lot of RePutin traitors. McConnell's obviously sweating.

[louis c]

2. Fuck you, Mitch

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

21. Lets take a look at some congressional investigations for comparison:

Sorry you're not sleeping well at night, Mitch. Presidenting is hard work, as SNL's George Bush (Will Ferrell) said. If your boy can't handle the heat, maybe he should get out of the frying pan and resign.

[politicaljunkie41910]

41. You forgot Whitewater which Ken Starr started about a land deal before the Clintons came to Wash DC

and continued for 6 years culminating into an Impeachment trial for having sex with an intern who didn't even work in the White House when the Whitewater investigation began. Guiliani's getting senile and no longer knows what 'FOREVER' means anymore.

[donkeypoofed]

3. You know EXACTLY what they're going to find,Mitch

They're gonna find all that dirty Russian money you and your.cohorts received, as well as your collusion. What else explains the.fact.you told Obama you wouldn't have confirmation hearings for Garland one year before Spanky stole the election, at a time when NO ONE else thought.he had a chance of winning; but you sure knew, didn't you?. Greasy human being that you are!

[rurallib]

8. must be getting close to McConnell

jeez I'd love to see the turtle in a jail shell

[lagomorph777]

16. Jail Shell!

[Dave Starsky]

25. "Jail shell."

Nice.

[DownriverDem]

10. For sure

The turtle man did nothing to protect our elections because he knew it would help trump May they all rot in hell if there is a hell.

[Grammy23]

34. I read your comment aloud to my husband. His reply?

There IS a hell and we are in it.

[Takket]

38. Yup

Don’t tell me an Asian woman found her way into drumpf’s cabinet because he’s so open to diversity. He and McConnell are two peas in a pod

[randr]

4. The Turtle has spoketh

Now back in your shell damn reptile.

[Eyeball_Kid]

5. On the day that rains shit on...

Cohen and Manafort...

[beachbum bob]

6. lol, reala crimes been committed and how long were the Hillary witch hunts?

great fear in GOP on what Mueller is uncovering

[DownriverDem]

7. Could it be

that Mueller found out that the repub party took russian money for the 2016 election? If we ever end this trump nightmare, I do not want to ever hear that both parties are the same. I've been a Dem for a long time and there is no way in hell the repub party has the same goals as the Dem Party.

[lagomorph777]

17. #NRAROUBLES

All the RePutins took Roubles from the NRA. Mueller has all the details. McTurtle is screwed and he knows it.

[empedocles]

9. Perhaps McC thinks this may be trump's peak in his polls,

best time to push for close.

[SHRED]

12. And yet he sees no need to protect Mueller

Now it makes sense.

[muntrv]

13. Why? Because Mueller found something on the turtle man?

[Botany]

15. "It's gone on seemingly forever"

Like Whitewater? Which went on 7 years and cost $77 million. Or how about
Benghazi that had @ least 9 different investigations?

But how did Mitch McConnell know that if he waited until after the election he
would have a different person to vote for the SCOTUS?

[Freethinker65]

18. But will gladly reopen any investigation on Hillary

[Nitram]

19. McConnell had been supporting the investigation until now.

Maybe the summit and other developments have persuaded him that Trump will survive. Or maybe it's the opposite, and he's really worried how far the investigation might reach. Like, into his own life.

[Rebl2]

20. The Starr

investigation went on about seven years and didn’t hear republicans complaining. Watergate took two years. Why so impatient Mitch. Could they be finding that you took money from Russians too?

[Botany]

24. Mitch too Russian money

https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/08/03/tangled-web-connects-russian-oligarch-money-gop-campaigns


Party loyalty is often cited as the reason that GOP leaders have not been more outspoken in their criticism of President Donald Trump and his refusal to condemn Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. Yet there may be another reason that top Republicans have not been more vocal in their condemnation. Perhaps it's because they have their own links to the Russian oligarchy that they would prefer go unnoticed.

Donald Trump and the political action committees for Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putin's favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.

[Corgigal]

22. Must have gotten Mitch wrapped

up in the net. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Can't wait for my , and 2 plus from my family to vote his worthless ass out. All he has is Russian pranks, and we see now.

Won't hold my breath, but we have a bunch of cranky DU'ers on the ground.

[duforsure]

23. More proof McConnells also been corrupted,

And bought and paid for by putin , and probably China too, and has turned on this country, and our Democracy to save themselves from being exposed for their corruption. Mueller has got them scared they to will be facing indictments from being so corrupt. I think we just got undermined even more from McConnells statement about ending this investigation. Its getting too close to him now.

[Wwcd]

26. He SO plagerized that last line from Sec Clinton...

"It’s gone on seemingly forever and I don’t know how much more they think they can find out.”

But in Mueller's case, There's A LOT he found out and a certain part of that points straight at you Mitch McConnell 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕.

[CanonRay]

27. I love the smell of fear in the morning

[MGKrebs]

28. Just the Donald Trump part? What about Manafort, and Cohen, and

the Russians? Drop all that? Or should he just exclude anything that comes up about Trump? Is that how this is supposed to work?

[heaven05]

29. STFU

frog-faced trump ass licker.

[duforsure]

30. McConnell is saying now...

Trump and his loyalists ARE above the rule of law now.

[Schedule]

31. Its false that it's "taking forever"

When a lot of people are suspected of a crime (collusion, bank fraud, conspiracy, etc.), a prosecutor should not be rushed to finish.
There is no timeline. Mcconnell simply wants to protect Trump from the outcome

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. Mind if I just quickly stop by to say

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkk You McCONnell, ya Chinless Googly Eyed Traitorous Scum Sucking Sack of Shit.

[byronius]

33. The end of the Mueller investigation is the end of the United States, period.

Consent of the governed, fucker. It's what keeps the lights on and the streets relatively not blood-soaked.

[csziggy]

35. I'm getting whiplash from McConnell's flip flops

Not even a month ago he said he supported the Mueller investigation!

McConnell Says He Supports Mueller Investigation

Heard on All Things Considered
Susan Davis, Kelsey Snell, Domenico Montanaro

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.

I have a feeling that shit is getting way too real for McConnell and he's worried about what Mueller's people might have on him!

[gay texan]

36. Tippy turtle has a sad..... n/t

[EarthFirst]

37. As opposed to a decade of Benghazi or Clinton's emails?

[rainin]

39. They are afraid of what Manafort can tell them.

They have believed until now that Manafort was solid. They're getting scared now.

[WhiteTara]

40. enough to put you in prison you nasty traitor.

[rockfordfile]

42. Un-American McConnell

How Republican took in that Russian cash?

[olddad56]

43. If McConman wasn't in over his head with the Russians, he would welcome the Mueller investigation.

any fucking senator would.
