McConnell: No select panel needed to probe Russian hacking

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., rejected calls from a bipartisan group of senators to create a select committee on cyberattacks to investigate possible Russian interference in the American election.

McConnell, in a sit-down interview with Kentucky Educational Television that aired Monday night, called the allegations of Russian hacking "a serious issue" but one that "doesn't require" a special committee to run the inquiry. He also suggested that only one panel, the Intelligence Committees in the House and Senate, needs to focus on such an investigation.

Anything happen in the past 24 hours?

I thought McCain wanted to be the lead dog on this investigation, so this blocks him from getting face time.

Hillary created her own interference problem when she fires up her private server 5 countries have hit it stupidity has a price in the end.

Gang of 4 nitwits need to be censured and removed as chair of any committees.

“He also suggested that only one panel, the Intelligence Committees in the House and Senate, needs to focus on such an investigation.”

and the CIA refused to brief those panels

IF Republicans had a spine- they would appoint a totally GOP only investigation team and conclude “Nope- can’t find any evidence’ throw it right back in the left’s faces like they did to us when they ran investigations on themselves and by golly couldn’t find a ‘shred of evidence’

IIRC, the Monday WickiLeaks dump seem to infer Mccain and Linda Gramnesty were “on board” with Podesta/Hellry/Soros team - perhaps via payoffs?

“Can’t imagine why this was dropped.
Anything happen in the past 24 hours?”

Exactly and John McCain will be deeply disappointed.

Pillow-talk with the McConnells

Mitch: [looking over the Senate Schedule] "What do you think would be a good time to schedule that Select Panel to probe the Russian hacking?"

Elaine: "Oh, I almost forgot! Don said he's scheduling rallys in Lexington, Louisville, Ashland and Paducah."

Mitch: [nervous, puts glasses down] "He what?"

Elaine: "Yeah, he says he wants to get closer to the folks, and keep them up-to-date on important issues."

Mitch: [tears up Select Panel papers]

...

That’s the one appointment that bothers me. But I blame Crooked Mitch, not Trump. Reagan also had to get along with the GOPe.

How about a probe of Mexican hacking? Millions of illegals voted in California, resulting in Hillary winning the "popular vote" count. The Hispanic "American" California politicians have made it trivial for illegals to vote. It is possible to register online:

"Over 500,000 Online Voter Registrations in Final 48 hours before California Deadline"

How many online registrations were there in the last year alone? How many other ways have illegals been able to register in California?

Mexico collected $24.8 billion in remittances from the US in 2015 (this exceeded their oil revenue). The cartels are collecting untold billions from American addicts. Did the Democrats collude with the Mexican government or with the cartels to influence the elections? Does anyone doubt that the Mexican government wanted Trump to lose?

Without the corrupt California vote, Trump won the popular vote in the real US. The California corruption must be investigated and the Democrat treason exposed. Otherwise, the Democrats will play the wounded party for the next 4 years.
