Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Sunday said Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s nominee to succeed Eric Holder as attorney general, will not move until Democrats cooperate on a human trafficking bill.
Anyone wanna place a friendly wager he'll cave and she'll become Erica Holder?
How long will that last Mitch? Until they throw a bone and tell you to fetch? You don’t threaten anyone with something they know you’ll never follow through with.
Ooooooh—another red line drawn(to be overstepped once again since Reid still calls the shots.
We live in a time of traitors and weakness.
Utter crap. Why doesn’t McConnell refuse to move on Lynch because she is a friggin’ Whitey-hatin’, America-hatin’ ‘Holder in a dress’? How about holding her hearing hostage in exchange for something IMPORTANT LIKE A VETO OVERRIDE ON XL KEYSTONE PIPELINE?
McConnell does not oppose Lynch on principle, for he has none, so he erects a tiny speedbump thinking this will somehow make him look good to conservatives
I say he’ll cave, if not, ten to FR.
Bingo!!!!
When the dims pass the trafficking bill....just do what the dims always do....
sorry dims....the goal posts are now changed......
you need to give us a veto proof vote on Keystone first......
....and if you make too much fuss....we will just add some other bill ...
Surely Ms. Lynch's confirmation should come at a higher price....maybe McConnell demanding "cooperation" from the Dems on amnesty, ObamaCare, jobs, taxes, etc.
In other words, her confirmation is coming at a cheap proposed price...she evidently isn't worth all that much at a bargaining table.
Looks like the GOP leadership and RINOS are again giving away the store for next to nothing in return.
Funny how her personal confirmation (or the threat of holding it up) is resulting in (gasp) HUMAN TRAFFICKING involving the regime and the spineless Republican leadership...and a helpless woman!
I doubt if I need the "sarcasm" symbol for my above observation on what appears to be the ultimate in hypocracy, double-dealing and a war-on-women (hah !) among the congressional elites of both parties...if this "deal" goes through).

“Human trafficking bill”. That is just too funny.
It’s more like the “mexican slave labor endorsement” act.
This act is a bi-partisan effort of course, because the democrats AND the republicans, along with their crony business interests, just LOVE their non-stop supply of illegals and visa workers to “do the jobs that Americans won’t do” (for free, or nearly free).
So McTurtle will use leverage for one particular Human Trafficking bill but not a Human Trafficking bill that would bar unconstitutional authorization of Human Trafficking by the 0bama Administration.
The Rats will start screaming ‘racism’ and he will fold like a cheap suit.
I’d like Boehner and McConnell kicked out of US and put in a Turkish prison.
And just why do we want this racist rewarded for her past actions by giving her one of the most powerful positions in this nation? Mr. McConnell (who simply does not deserve the honor of being called Senator), if you had one shred of patriotism you would not cowtow to leftists and you would get out in front to lead opposition against the very thought of a leftist like Lynch being installed as our nation’s Attorney General.
Who will be the first to call this a Lynching?
Oh ,Mitch, you so funny
Instead of “human trafficking” how about no nuclear bombs for Iran?
Is asking that millions of people not be murdered too much to ask for Mitch?
