Senate Democrats May Refuse To Vote On Trump FBI Pick: Schumer

[Schumer] said on Sunday that Democrats would consider refusing to vote on a new FBI director until a special prosecutor is named to investigate President Donald Trump’s potential ties to Russia.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said his caucus has not yet made a decision on whether to withhold their votes, but added that the issue is being looked at as a way to ensure there is a thorough investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

“To have that special prosecutor, people would breathe a sigh of relief because then there would be a real independent person overlooking the FBI director,” Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union” program.

“””””“To have that special prosecutor, people would breathe a sigh of relief because then there would be a real independent person overlooking the FBI director,” Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union” program.””””””

Is he talking about one for the hillary investigation?

So if the vote is 52-0, or even 49-0, does that count? In that case, Chuckie and his posse can just stand outside and hold their breath until they get what they want. Or act like Occupy Wall Street people; pull down their pants and poop on a squad car to show how important they are and should be taken seriously.....

Good ! Not voting is prima fascia proof of irrelevance

Schumer is leading the charge because he is complicit in the espionage on all of the Republican candidates for President

Great!

Let our guys act like WINNERS for once, and simply vote without them.

Oh it LOOKS bad?

So what..?

How can you appoint a special *prosecutor* when there is no allegation of any crime?

Can some Republican offer a bill to push through Congress and get signed by Pres. Trump to declare one day each year where Demonicrats agree to not have their heads jammed completely up their keisters.

Okay, yeah. It's wishful thinking. Maybe just for one minute at noon on one day each year.
