Who is going to be the Howard Baker of the Congressional Republicans?

[yellowcanine]

Howard Baker, "What did the President (Nixon) know, and when did he know it?"


Chaffetz? (Don't make me laugh)

John McCain?

Lindsey Graham?

Marco Rubio?

There is no Howard Baker in this crowd. (My answer)

1. What about "Maverick Mccain"?

Will McConnell order him to keep silent?

What about Trey Gowdy?

5. Not "Maverick"

McCain, was gelded a long time ago! Every so often they'll let him out of his stable, so he play his old man pointing at the clouds, part! Then back he goes until the next time...

Gowdy? That useless occupier of air and space!!!

There are no Howard Baker's among the Republicans in the US Congress...this is the congress that Nixon needed!!!

With these hacks, Nixon would have finished his second term!!!

6. Agreed. The GOP is all about principal, not principle.

And the corporate media will likely allow this to be quickly forgotten.

2. I agree

I have the sad feeling that we are just going to have to watch this nation burn itself to the ground so that we can rebuild

3. Corker has been making noises. He is in Baker's Senate seat

4. I've been watching closely for any sign of such courage.

McCain comes and goes with his challenges. Otherwise--nobody. Perhaps a "sleeper" will appear, but it sure seems unlikely.

7. Bottom line is if there isnt one, there is no chance

this country survives as a Democracy.

The dictator is lining things up as we speak, with the help from Putin.

McCain alone could stop this or give the patriotic side a boost that is remarkable.

John, are you a patriot or a sycophant?

8. Every repuke in congress is a traitor.

9. Roy Blunt is at least mouthing some of the right words.

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on Tuesday said there should be an exhaustive investigation into the ties between Russia and the Trump administration.

"I think everybody needs that investigation to happen," Blunt told KTRS radio, CNN reported.

. . .

Blunt said the Senate Intelligence Committee should also talk to the president's former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, "very soon," adding that discussion should "answer a lot of questions."

"What did he know? What did he do? And is there any reason to believe that anybody else knew that and didn't take the kind of action they should have taken?" he said.

Of course he's also saying a lot of other garbage . . .

10. Maybe McCain.

I have a former colleague who is on a Senator's staff. It is well known that McCain DESPISES Trump and honestly considers him a national security risk. He doesn't know what's going to happen, but he said there are some Republicans seething. One issue for him (and others) is that fear Pence more. He is more of an ideologue, and knows how to play the political game. He could cause much more damage, so there is a rock and hard place kind of feeling.
