Top Republican senators, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, said Tuesday that Congress should probe the circumstances leading up to the resignation of Michael Flynn as President Trump’s national security adviser, opening a new and potentially uncomfortable chapter in the uneasy relationship between Trump and congressional Republicans.

McConnell (R-Ky.) told CNN Tuesday that it is “highly likely” that the Senate Intelligence Committee will examine Flynn’s actions. Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), vice chairman of the Senate GOP Conference and a member of the Intelligence Committee, said lawmakers ought to look at the matter as part of an existing probe into Russian meddling in the United States political system — a sensitive topic that has lingered over Republicans since Trump’s election victory.

Is there anything as useless on God’s green earth that a congressional investigation?

An investigation into the previous administration’s attempt to sabotage the current administration is in order.

This is the beginning of the attempt by the GOP wing of the uniparty to remove Trump and install Pence who they are much more comfortable dealing with. They could then return to business as usual if they can just get the voters to go back to sleep.

I personally don’t think Flynn did anything wrong, they are just trying to get to Trump and thought this may be a way. Treasonous idiots — these “Republicans”.

Is this more “One Thousand Points of Light” impotent outreach?
We don’t need yet another probe diverting attention from more pressing issues. Not now. Maybe in the first part of Trumps second term, if there is one.

This is watergate 2 already a coup attempt against Trump not Flynn

These treasonous corrupt maggots Mcconnel, Ryan, all the Gope and Gop and democrat politicians are all owned by Soros. This is why they never did anything good for America.

Only Trump is not owned

Took the “Republicans” 3 weeks to go after Trump. Their owner Soros says jump.
