Good!

I forgive him for all previous issues for standing up to this.

[Savage Beast]

McConnell should lead a movement to fire Muller.

[Signalman]

Excellent. Mitch still has some integrity and loyalty working for him.

[tomkat]

Sounds like a crossfire avoidance plan.

[Balding_Eagle]

Don’t forget that McConnell also kept the slot open for Neil Gorsuch.

He withstood withering attacks to do that.

[Vigilanteman]

I still can’t figure out what makes Robert S. Mueller III so d@mn special. What has he done to distinguish himself from any run-of-the-mill political hack who has risen to his level of incompetence?

[Cen-Tejas]

.........to coin an old phrase............”even a broken clock get’s it right twice a day.”

[kabar]

Self-preservation. McConnell and many GOP senators don’t want to have a recorded vote on such a bill. Such a vote would expose the anti-Trumpers who support the Mueller witch hunt.

[Responsibility2nd]

He doesn’t want Mueller to get fired, as he thinks Mueller has the goods on Trump. And will use them too.

Mitch might be right in this instance. But for all the wrong reasons.

[LegendHasIt]

Well, good for him.

(Now I’m ‘waiting for the the other shoe to drop’.)

[onyx]

I saw his interview with Cavuto.

Mitch was resolute.

[Political Junkie Too]

McConnell isn't doing anything courageous. He knows that Trump would never sign it, that the courts would declare it unconstitutional, and that Republicans don't need the optics of an intra-party fight going into the mid-term election.

[TigersEye]

A stopped McTurtle is right twice per Senate session.

[SaveFerris]

I always used “kaibosh” but that’s just me.

Now, Joe Di\ola (DeVola?) I just don’t know.

I’m actually shocked at MM. Got something right.

[Sacajaweau]

hope it makes a lotta people grind their teeth.

[Jim Noble]

The Tenure of Office Act (2018) is no more constitutional than it was in 1867.

[factoryrat]

He’s trying to pull his ass out of the frying pan.

Ryan has walked away from this hot mess, and McConnell is left with all of this.

Either way, I say that his sorry ass is toast.

These gutless republican bastards stood by and did nothing while the socialist-democrats went full tilt Bolshevik on President Trump, while giving the big middle finger to EVERYONE who voted for him.

[Neoliberalnot]

Once again Mitch comes through when it really counts. For this, he will be hated by demrats, weak-kneed republicans, and liberfarians.

[DarthVader]

This is a real good move on his part. Now he needs to fire Frau Mueller and his journey to the dark side against the Deep State will be complete.

[House Atreides]

Good, now accelerate votes on Trump’s judicial nominees from your current slow-walking snail’s pace!

[catnipman]

uh, the hiring and firing of individual government employees (aside from certain appointments requiring Senate confirmation) Constitutionally belongs 100% to the head of the Executive Branch, NOT Congress!
