Mitch McConnell on DOJ meeting with the gang of 8...'Nothing particularly surprising'

another trump dog and pony show....

SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY), MAJORITY LEADER: Yeah, it was classified briefing of what we call "The Gang of Eight" which is the leadership of the House and Senate, along with the Intel Committee leaders and I really can’t, because it was a classified briefing and that’s what classified means.

BAIER: Yeah. Were you surprised by what you learned?

MCCONNELL: Nothing particularly surprising. But again, it was classified, so there’s no real, no real report I can give to you.

They have been working with KGB since BEFORE they violated the constitution by disallowing the SC seat.

They knew at that time their collusion with the KGB might result in a stolen election.

I want them ALL in prison.

A meaningless word that would not have stopped them from leaking anything that might support their lies.

You can be SURE we would have seen them all over TV this morning if they had even come CLOSE to anything that would help them with their lies!

But, NO, they are "honoring" the classified information (and probably already planning how to cover their asses when the Mueller bomb drops!).

Yesterday, when Rep. Schiff said pretty much the same thing that McConnell is saying in this story, Sen. Cornyn (R-Tx) tweeted, "Isn't this a leak of classified information?" Will Cornyn do the same for McConnell?

Ha ha, of course not. John Cornyn is a flaming hypocrite!
