McConnell on Trump’s document charges: ‘Simply gonna stay out of it’
#Trump #Politics #Indictment
source
McConnell is disinterested in his representative position.
Her a#s is toasted and she's crying 😢 because her a#s got caught
So if he's a prison president how will meeting foreign dignitaries bring their security details into the prison? Will he have internet? 🤔
Cowardly Mitch, he's scared of Big Donny!
This guy is an expert at saving his own skin.
Is it really justice? Think about it…
Coward
McConnells wife Coco is one of the Trump criminals. She extorted a billion dollars out of China. McConnell has no comment. He and his old lady are criminal accomplice to a seditious conspiracy to overthrow America. She was at the table when Jan 6 was being planned.
Because he has no guts to stand up to the liers
Mitch is a spineless old coward. If Obama did this he’d be doing windmills.
Listen to Garland and Smith, they are following the law…just that. The GOP are the the culprits being political.
See that Some Claim that Justice Department is a Tool of Weaponization by Biden. And Mitch McConnel Said He Would Stay Out of It : Thoughts on this. A Quote : “Any Republican who believes in the Rule of Law; who believes that No One is above the Law, and believes that Obstruction of Justice is a Serious crime especially when dealing with highly sensitive classified information which could harm us globally, and from a National Security perspective, would have to be Clear-Eyed about this.
And See that Some Believe that there is Two Tiers of Justice where Hillary Clinton wasn’t Prosecuted, but Donald Trump is being Prosecuted : Thoughts on this. A Quote : “The fact patterns are very different where Donald Trump has clearly hidden documents; not returned them when asked nicely; and not returned them when subpoenaed. And that is very different than any other Elected Leader that had classified documents in their possessions, including Vice President Mike Pence. And Including President Joe Biden. All who cooperated, but Donald Trump. So Why?”
🤔Guess he forgot what he said on January 6 regarding Trump
The Mobster Lobster has more indictments than court wins……
Turtleman is waiting to see which way the wind is going to blow on this one…….a true coward…..
That's all they seek to hold political office for… power to oppress, inflict and divide. Not to serve the people. Never ever.
A career politician who’s never worked a day in his life , his work entails talking LIES
Zero backbone. If Trump is nominated he will still vote for him. He made a big speech at the second impeachment but sheepishly voted to acquit.
Vote for democratic presidential candidate RFK Jr.
McConnell is going to simply be the coward that he always has been.
Coward. McConnell had tea chance to get rid of trump at the first impeachment. But no…. So McConnell you own trump and his BS
turtle neck finally said something right
GOP lawmaker disgrace to America, it's constitution, rule of law, democracy and oath of office. GOP lawmaker crimes against America must be held accountable. They looked the other way while Trump devolved GOP into a criminal enterprise.
Our defense strategy secrets and nuclear weapons tactical plans have been compromised he continues to behave like the self serving snake he is…. republicans are gutless pandering to the base.
Something as important as this and Sen. McConnell is gonna sit on the sidelines and watch? He's got no opinion? I guess he really must be a turtle of some kind. He's got to have a shell since he's got no backbone. Like most spineless GOP.
Mitch McConnell didn’t stay out of it when he said his goal was to stop Obama from getting anything done, did he?
Mitch McConnell is the head of the Republican Party who have no comment on Trump taking documents but he want to stay out of it. Now you see how dysfunctional the Republican party yes none of them have no common sense follow the leader sad day for them.
He’s gonna stay out of it because “IT’S A TRAP!!!”
It would be nice if McConnell would grow a pair and put country over party.
ODD… same tactic as his bed mate Biden……both gutless in the face the truth. A Gutless Democrat is a Useless Democrat.
Smart guy.
The political courage of Republican leadership is stupendous, simply stupendous!
Nice, JD Vance literally commiting Blackmail and Obstruction of Justice in the purest sense of the words, proudly and in public.
This would have been a scandal a few years ago, now it's just another Wednessday for the US GoP.
McConnell is right let trump crash on his own. Stay far away.
What a Puss! He didn't stay out of it. During the attack on the capital. Did everything, he could downplaying the incident. Went along with the Republicans lie" and false narrative they were spinning. Trust and believe" he's been working against the DOJ, to stall, stop, 45's indictment. Supporting the kangaroo hearings, of jim jordan, bobo, and margarine.
Mitch is smart.
