McConnell FOR investigating Russian election hacks now? Slow-walkit thru Inaugural, then impeach

so they can rewrite history and pretend they were the heroes all along?

Then they'll celebrate their busy future of hard-right rubber stamping President Mike Pence.

Trump:

1) Has too many hard core lunatics behind him, they would lose a BIG chunk of their "base" if they put the knife to Trump.
2) Trump is going to suck up all the bullets while they reek absolutely havoc in congress.

Why don't you try to help yourself out? Just give us the names. That's all we want. give us the names, and I can talk to the US Attorney; see if he can cut a deal for you."

He has to write this script - the one he wants presented.

If we're not going to see trump arrested or denied by the EC then it's the most optimal scenario at this point. Pence is a garden variety GOP pol, and not a very good one at that. He would be infinitely easier to defeat next time around.

He's out of step with the rest of the country. Point is, there's nothing unique about Pence.
