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.

ESPECIALLY MCCAIN! Retire the old man and investigate his ties to Russia and corruption.

Screw that, investigate McCain's ties to Islamic Terrorist groups in the Middle East, especially Libya and Syria! That bastard needs to hang by his neck!!!

McCain doesn’t have the credibility to handle his own toilet paper.

I hope someone does a truthful and damning documentary on John McCain, and gets it out there yuuuugely.

Then Pelosi, then Soros, then Jarret and on and on...

McCain and credibility never met each other. Yet he alone judges the credibility of the entire Congress, himself excepted, of course. Seems like every day McCain redefines what it means to be a disgusting backstabbing scumbag.

“I’d like to see an investigation into McCain’s ties to ISIS and munitions smuggling to terrorists”

Me too.

Sad to see an old fossil like McShame make a fool of himself. But what's really scary is the old fossil is part & parcel of the Deep State attempting to bring Pres. Trump down. He's worthless. Pres. Trump should watch him closely.

That means the investigation is not following the script so it is time to rewrite it.

McCain is the most hateful, deceitful, dishonest RINO of the herd.

Ite more then cheap labor.. its pure old world class thing

We have a upper class that hated the American style working-middle class that thinks they should rule the country.... we’re just too uppity and don’t know our place

We have people that want a patron-peon /lords-serf system in this country..that it the natural order and the American working-middle class as self ruling is an aberration of History

We are hated

And I use the term America Style working-middle class

To differentiate from the Marxist concept of proletariat working class and bourgeoisie middle class

Your College indoctrinated left wing schmuck is the boorish Bourgeoisie in our country
