How much further can Mitch McConnell go before he has crossed the line

into whatever ... aiding and abetting the enemy, treason, sedition, espionage ... or something. Is he now a plant/mole ... on the Russian payroll or whatever. It feels like he is really orchestrating a coop to make sure Trump wins in 2020 ... and may have crossed the line now relative to stopping Russian influence in American elections.

But today, he fell off the line all together.
Blocking legislation that would insure that elections are safe and legal.
He says that he has already done enough. I guess he didn't listen or watch yesterday's hearing.
The hearing with Robert Mueller, who says the exact opposite.
So, who is telling the truth? Mueller or McConnell? You be the judge

What the last two years have amply demonstrated is that there is no firewall. If the party in power chooses to collude with a hostile foreign government, there is nothing to stop them from doing that.

He crossed just about every line there is, and long ago.

When there is no oversight of the overseers, the principle of "absolute power" comes into play.

from changing ballots is paper ballots guarded by three people. One Democrat, one Republican, and one nun. Put the boxes and all three people in a hotel room until the ballots are counted. Cameras on the boxes at all times.

what he's up to and it just continues. He's IMO a threat to the US.

He crossed the line so long ago that he forgot there was a line.
