McConnell: Democrats are investigating Trump so we get to investigate Obama

The GOP-led Senate wants to do oversight of the last administration rather than the current one.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Thursday that because the House of Representatives is still doing oversight into Donald Trump and his administration, it should be able to conduct investigations into the Obama administration and the Bidens.

"The House of Representatives is arguing before the Supreme Court that they are still looking for yet another impeachment. They are arguing that before the Supreme Court this week," McConnell (R-KY) told Fox News, referencing a legal filing in which the House sought access to grand jury testimony from the Robert Mueller investigation.

McConnell called Senate investigations into the prosecution of General Michael Flynn, the origins of the Russia probe, and former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden's business dealings "a legitimate oversight responsibility for the Senate."

"If the house can spend time on a baseless impeachment effort then we should at least have oversight over what happened to initiate this whole process a couple of years ago," McConnell argued.

So in essence you think that your "guy's " should just shred the constitution and walk around and just fuck over the population and lie and cheat and while 40 million human beings are out of job, struggling with unemployment, mortgage payments, renters payments, school debt payments, and putting food on the table.............your "gang" is throwing a hissy fit and want to go after a former sitting president on some false accusations, really, if you want to go down that path, lets bring back Bush/ Cheney, because your present job requirement for your job should be passing the Hero's Act instead of creating a deflection and the continued evisceration of the checks and balances.........while your making $225,000 a year being a complete libertarian ass, along with your comrades making $174,000 a year, and them also being complete libertarian asses.......while this country is melting down with the simple fact that people are dying, a lot of people are dying............96,000 and counting...............

1. All right, so Obama is still president!

[Grins]

5. Still an "unimpeached" president! NM

[Iliyah]

2. Smoke and mirrors . . .

[bdamomma]

3. he needs to go

really. He's so up to eyeballs in crap.

[calguy]

4. This just shows how desperate they are

They are pulling out all the stops to change the subject and try to take attention off of trump's blunders. It'll work with the people who were already going to vote for trump, but the rest of the country see it for what it is.

[NCDem47]

6. Funny how all this "Obamagate" nonsense perks up AFTER Biden is presumed to be the D nominee

Why didn't the R's decide to investigate Obama in 2017? Or 2018? or even last year?

In my heart of hearts, I do believe a majority of voters will see this as petty retaliation and a nonsensical waste of time.

[Andy823]

7. This shows just how

compromised the republicans are. If trump says jump, they ask how high, if trumps says go after everyone that I don't like, they ask when do we start. It's a total waste of time, and money, but they will do it because trump has dirt on them, and if they don't do what he says, he will let it all out.

For republicans it's now "trump before country"! They created this monster now they will go down with him.

[CrispyQ]

8. What a vile shithole.

[Solomon]

9. Where are his fucking lips? Wtf?

Fucker!

[Peace06]

14. Lips

turtles don't have lips, do they?

He looks like his lips sunk into his chin.

He has kissed so much ass his lips stuck to the kissee.

I cannot even think of words to describe how much I hate him.

[Brainfodder]

10. Make sure that "investigation" is super deep on 1 guy called, let me see here... MOSCOW MITCH!

[Cha]

11. trump is Impeached you ugly MF moscowmitch

[RAB910]

12. Moscow Mitch is one of the most disgusting criminal/traitors I have witnessed in my half + decade on

the planet

[dem4decades]

13. So the House can investigate Mrs Mitch then? Fine with me.

[Leith]

15. How about the Democratic House investigate

Trey Gowdy's numerous investigations? Matt Gaetz's DUIs? Moscow Mitch's ties to drug smuggling using Chinese ships?

He should quit acting like his side doesn't commit crimes. He should see that list of indictments and convictions of each presidential administration since Nixon.

rethugs use investigations to harass Democrats. Democrats investigate crimes and criminals, regardless of party (Blagojevich, for example).

[jimlup]

16. Curiously, I think this is there re-election strategic lever

Or they think it will be. I think their perverted reasoning is to make the charges against the Obama administration appear to be the rot and then to say that Biden is rotten by connection.

They are smart in one way. Now, it will be reported as both candidates have serious scandals and investigations, etc. And they will say (we know this is completely false) that Trump has been completely exonerated and that is because Obama is guilty.

It is complete deceit. But it has worked well for them in the past. They shore up the base and bring in just enough "undecideds" to move the scales close enough so that they can steal the rest.

Unfortunately, it could work for them. I don't think it will be it could ... there is a long time between now and November 3, 2020. Time for them to spin their insane lies.

[BannonsLiver]

23. It's not going to work.

[jimlup]

26. We hope to God it won't!

And we do everything we possible can to make sure it the hell doesn't. But they are very slimy evil people and they will try hard to steal it.

[Blue Owl]

17. What a jowly freak show

n/t

[kairos12]

18. Trash any Reich Wing subpoena like the junk mail they are.

[gratuitous]

19. Gosh, Mitch

If only there was something you could have done while Obama was still in office. Wait; you had the majority in both chambers for much of that time. What was stopping you then? It's not like you weren't pulling off another dirty trick every other day during that time. I'll take a stab at it: You were too cowardly to go up against Obama, because you knew how popular he was. Now that he's safely out of office, you'll make all kinds of fearsome noises, like a chihuahua after the cat's walked off around the corner.

Chinless Mitch? More like gutless.

[Yavin4]

20. I must be missing something here. What am I missing?

It's political suicide to go after the most popular political figure in America today while the country is suffering from a pandemic and an economy that's in a depression. On top of that, the Senate under Mitch McConnell won't lift a finger to extend relief to millions of Americans.

From a pure political perspective, this makes no sense unless there's something else. Something that i must be missing. So what is it?

[BannonsLiver]

24. This is what's known as a "last ditch" attempt to save a presidency that is likely doomed

Their plan was to run on the economy. Oops.

[dlk]

21. The party of endless false equivalencies...

[crickets]

37. +1

[cstanleytech]

22. McConnell is a real petulant whining bitch which explains why he so

close to Trump.

[SkatmanRoth]

25. Deflection

Hey, look over there!

[Thekaspervote]

27. Difference is one is a mobster crook and the other is a law abiding citizen once president

[DeminPennswoods]

28. Word to the wise: Be careful what you ask for

nt

[bucolic_frolic]

29. But the Constitution doesn't apply to Republicans except when they want it to

[C_U_L8R]

30. "You have evidence, so we get to make shit up"

Crawl back into your shell, Mitch.

[roamer65]

31. The House should start investigating the Turtle.

Follow the money trail to Moscow.

[kimbutgar]

32. I am sick sick of looking at his ugly evil face

And am disgusted with the people of Kentucky who will again vote for that Pos in November. hopefully the Democratic Party will take over the Senate and give payback is a bitch to the old turtle.

[KS Toronado]

33. McTurtle's actions are simply helping us take control of the Senate in Nov, we should thank him

[SCantiGOP]

34. LA police investigated Charles Manson

So the LA Police should be investigated.

Good logic turtle asshole.

[budkin]

35. "Baseless" impeachment effort

Ok turtle.

[Lock him up.]

36. Moscow Mitch is cool with his Dear Leader who squandered over $400 Million...

... inherited from his KKK father, bankrupted 5 casinos and 2 ill-CONceived ventures, launched over 3,500 lawsuits for him to NOT pay his contractors, employees and suppliers, and who is now bankRupting the U.S. Treasory due to his do-nothing NEGLIGENCE with a $4 TRILLION deficit (it's spelled D-E-F-I-C-I-T, in case corrupt turtle ever forgot how it's spelled...), over 40 million more unemployed, barely making ends meet!

Yeah. Where are those annoying DEFICIT hawk$ of youRs gone, Moscow Mitch??

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]
