Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is refusing to answer whether he now "regrets not doing anything when briefed on Russia meddling" or if he trusts popular vote loser Donald Trump less in the wake of the younger Don Trump's public confession of inviting the Russians into the campaign. He simply referred reporters to the Senate Intelligence Committee.
But let's revisit what McConnell specifically has to regret. It's not really that he didn't do anything when briefed on Russia's interference in our election. He actively suppressed that information from becoming public. Greg Sargent takes us back to the summer of 2016, and the briefing the intelligence community provided to the 12 top congressional leaders from both parties.
The meeting devolved into a partisan squabble.
The Dems were, Hey, we have to tell the public, recalled one participant. But Republicans resisted, arguing that to warn the public that the election was under attack would further Russias aim of sapping confidence in the system.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) went further, officials said, voicing skepticism that the underlying intelligence truly supported the White Houses claims. Through a spokeswoman, McConnell declined to comment, citing the secrecy of that meeting.

All he wants to do now is hurt millions of Americans by taking away their healthcare, maybe we won't notice.
