Mitch McConnell Blasted For Covering Up Trump Crimes


Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) made it very clear that Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is helping to cover for Trump by refusing to protect Mueller.

Transcript via ABC’s This Week:

STEPHANOPOULOS; That was June 2012 when the Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate for Obamacare. But now a federal judge in Texas has ruled that that mandate is it’s unconstitutional, striking down the whole law, creating uncertainty for millions, and a course of condemnation from Democrats, including our next guest, the Senate’s number two Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois. Senator Durbin, thank you for joining us this morning.

And I want to get to that health care ruling. But, first, your reaction to Mayor Giuliani. You just heard him say that even if the president authorized these payment to Stormy Daniels, to Karen McDougal, that it wouldn’t be a crime. Your response?

SEN. DICK DURBIN, (D) ILLINOIS: I can just tell you this, George, I think the responsibility of Congress is very clear: park yourselves on the sidelines and let Mueller complete this investigation. Don’t interfere in any way, shape, or form. There’s a law — at least a bill pending, a bipartisan bill, that would guarantee that, that Senator McConnell does not want to call.

The second thing I’ll tell you, at the end of the day when Mueller’s investigation is complete, whenever that may be, it should be disclosed to the American public. They ought to see it in detail, understand everything that’s transpired.

Mitch McConnell Has Been Covering For Trump From The Beginning

Mitch McConnell has been covering for Donald Trump since before the election. McConnell refused to join with Obama and issue a joint statement condemning Russian election interference. McConnell has refused to protect the special counsel investigation. The Senate Majority Leader won’t even allow a vote on a bill to protect Robert Mueller.

McConnell is trying to keep the door open for Trump to fire Mueller, and Sen. Dick Durbin deserves praise for linking Trump’s crimes and McConnell’s efforts together because if Republicans in Congress would put country first, Donald Trump would already have been impeached and removed from office.

1. McTurtle also knew the fix was in for 2016 elections.

He and Lying Ryan are guilty.

[UpInArms]

11. Merrick Garland

Eom

[Vinca]

2. I don't know who we've got in Kentucky, but Mitch is up in 2020 and he's got to go.

[babylonsister]

3. Seems that's said every time he's up for reelection.

I don't get it either.

[yardwork]

4. McConnell's finances need to be investigated.

There is already evidence that he received millions in secret Russian bribes. That's probably why his wife is in Trump's cabinet.

18. Three-point-five million from some megabucks Ukrainian

with ties to the Kremlin.

That’s the report I saw recently.

Haven’t seen a whole lot on it. But what we HAVE seen, typically, throughout, has been a blip or two here and there, that isn’t followed up in the press - maybe for months, if at all. Look at the speculation and little inklings of scandal and crime just in trump-world, even during the campaign, on which nobody followed up, until recently. When these little whiffs of two years ago now start erupting across the political landscape like a chain of active volcanoes.

5. Isn't it amazing that no one questions this complicit tool remaining as

Senate Majority leader but have 'so much things to say' about Nancy Pelosi being Speaker?

[Iliyah]

6. Yes . . .

Constant bashing on Nancy P.

[rurallib]

7. Two questions: 1) When did he know it and 2) What about Grassley

These are a couple of questions that really need to be dug into.

Grassley and McConnell conspired to pull off one of the most unconstitutional moves ever in refusing to give Merrick Garland a hearing. I have from day 1 thought neither would have ever even tried to pull off such a stunt if they didn't have some assurance from somewhere that Republicans would win the presidency.

forgot a major part - Scalia died in February (?) when the primaries were just revving up.McConnell declared almost immediately that Republicans would block any Obama nominee. Why would he and Grassley ever think they could get away with such a scam if they didn't have some inside information?

12. Both McConnell and Ryan were well aware of the Russian actions to help Trump ...

... prior to the elections and kept those crimes secret.

10. Since at least the 1990s...nt

[docgee]

13. That's not what he said (OP's title)

I wish though a Senator would come out and say McTurtle is committing a crime by covering for tRump, because he is an accomplice.

[Duppers]
