Anonymous Senator to Mitch McConnell: "Bring up the vote to protect the Special Counsel..."

[kentuck]

'...or you cannot count on my vote for the rest of my term."

The Senators could put pressure on McConnell, if they wanted to, in my opinion.

Today, the story about FBI "informants", inside the Trump campaign or Administration, has grown to a small rumble. If the Repubs have their way, it will grow into a crescendo.

The FBI is sending out a warning notice. It would be unwise to expose one of our human assets. It could put their lives at risk. They may be in other parts of the world?

If the trump were to be so reckless, as to expose a person critical to gathering intelligence to protect our country, then there should be a defense against such a reckless action.

It would then be necessary to protect our Constitution and our national security.

It's time for these Senators to stand up.

1. ...

I think that Valerie Plame would agree with you.

[malaise]

2. Remember this name

Valerie Plame?

[kentuck]

4. Is she the brilliant agent that was exposed by Scooter Libby??

The guy that was pardoned by the trump a few weeks ago?

[malaise]

7. Correct

National Interest is their interest

[calimary]

3. I will be impressed if said "anonymous Senator" stood up,

by name, and showed some courage.

[kentuck]

5. yes, we can only imagine an anonymous Senator doing what a true Senator should do naturally.

[dhol82]

6. Yup, Valerie Plame!

Cheney still needs to do a perp walk for that one.

[calimary]

10. Yup and Yup.

Remember A) when other republi-CONS outed Valerie Plame, and B) who was never held accountable for doing so (rove/cheney).

8. I can guarantee it won't be chicken shit Portman standing up to McConnell.

[poli-junkie]

9. I'm confused: So did an

Anonymous senator actually say that to McConnell?

[kentuck]

12. edited for part that was sarcasm.

The rest is my opinion.

[Uncle Joe]

11. They're cowards

Thanks for the thread kentuck

[kentuck]

13. How are you, Uncle Joe?

You're almost as scarce as Elvis, here lately.

[Uncle Joe]

14. I have been fine kentuck

Taking care of personal business and I had to take a break for a while.

I hope you're doing well?

[kentuck]

18. Good to hear, Uncle Joe.

I have no reason to complain, just typical "old people" problems.

[trueblue2007]

15. who was the senator who said this? any idea who?

[kentuck]

17. There is a small "sarcasm" thingie at end of quote on first line.

And the rest is stated as "opinion".

It is my understanding that several Senators have asked for the vote to be brought to the floor, including Democrats and Republicans.
