McCain: Congress doesn't have 'credibility' to handle Russia probes
thehill ^

Posted on 03/24/2017 8:08:00 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Congress no longer has the credibility to independently tackle a probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and President Trump and his associates' ties to Moscow, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday.

"It's a bizarre situation, and what I think, the reason why I'm calling for this select committee or a special committee, is I think that this back-and-forth and what the American people have found out so far that no longer does the Congress have credibility to handle this alone," McCain told MSNBC's Greta Van Susteren. "And I don't say that lightly."

McCain's comments come amid an increasingly bitter feud that erupted between members of the House Intelligence Committee earlier Wednesday, after the panel's chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) claimed that he had seen evidence that the U.S. intelligence community incidentally surveilled members of Trump's transition team.

What kind of credibility does McCain, the midwife of Isis have on anything?

Yes, John. We get it.

We get that you were directly involved in surveilling Donald Trump prior to and after the election.

We get that you paid for and published an utterly bizarre, fake ‘dossier’ that had wild and unbelievable sexual claims about Donald Trump.

We get that you were and are Barack Obama’s most trusted accomplice, especially during the 2008 election, when you threw the election to him.

We get that you are a committed Globalist and an advocate of Islamic terror.

You don’t need to prove it any more.

We get it.

By now it should be abundantly clear to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that this Russian narrative was and is nothing but cover for the surveillance of Trump and his associates. Whoever helped Obama and his cronies with planning this op obviously didn’t know a lot about establishing credible, airtight cover, which, in this case, is good for the country.

When the truth starts coming out exposing your lies, THEN you want to shut the door so we can't see anymore?

That's not transparent....../s

McCain is trying to distract the media from looking closer at his involvement in spying on Trump.
He is deeply involved and looking at prison time.

I suspect Reid, Flake, Graham and Romney are also involved.

Especially Songbird McCain, but he’s a turncoat on everything.

No, Mr. McCainez? Well, perhaps your buddy, Charles Keating, might be a little more up to the task.

Wait! Where's my wallet?! Oh. Phew. Found it.

Nunes on the Intelligence Gang of 8.

Nunes knows more than Mccain who is not on it.

I agree that McCain no longer has credibility, but he needn’t project it on the whole body.

It has no credibility because it has the look of a political witch hunt, not just because of congress. You have Obama leakers and a compliant progressive media to thank for that.
