"Trump is doing immense damage. He has a hidden helper" - McConnell.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

How far up Putin's ass is McConnell?

...thanks to new reporting over the weekend, the basic question of whether Trump has at pivotal moments acted in Russia’s interests, to the detriment of U.S. interests — is being thrust to the forefront with new urgency.

This should cause us to revisit the role that McConnell played during the campaign in preventing members of Congress from showing a united public front against Russian sabotage of the election.....

In September 2016, as The Post has reported, top Obama administration officials privately asked senior congressional leaders in both parties to go public with a united front against Russian interference. But McConnell refused, claiming (in The Post’s words) that “he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.” McConnell also questioned the intelligence demonstrating Russian sabotage....

This raises new questions about another McConnell action: The refusal to hold votes on legislation protecting the special counsel. In fairness, Trump has still not moved successfully against Mueller. But McConnell scuttled efforts to protect Mueller even though Trump privately tried to fire him twice.

12. From what I understand, he's $3.5 million up Putin's ass.

That was the most recent figure I have seen of how much Russian money McTurtle has taken. I won't be surprised if that figure grows, or that he is dirty in other ways, too. Who the hell knows what his scummy-ass wife is up to, as well?

13. Do congressional ethic laws speak to conflicts of interests?

How can the Senate be a check on the Executive Branch when the majority leader is married to a member of the president's cabinet? To me that is the story.
