Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday broke his silence over President Trump’s virulent Twitter attacks on Robert Mueller — saying the special counsel had “great credibility” and should not be fired.
“Well look, I agree with the president’s lawyers that Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job,” the Kentucky Republican told reporters on Capitol Hill.
“I think he was an excellent appointment. I think he will go wherever the facts lead him and I think he will have great credibility with the American people when he reaches a conclusion of this investigation,” he said.

McConnell, of McConnell/Chao.
I am eagerly looking forward to reading Schweizer’s new book, in which they are prominently featured.
Peter Schweizer, who wrote “CLINTON CASH” has a new book, “SECRET EMPIRES” which details individuals who have been paid Million$ to play along with the Deep State and foreign entities. These include Biden, McConnell, Mueller, et al. He was on FOX Monday evening.
Of course McConnell is guilty. He has gotten rich as well as his family gotten rich because of the ability to skirt laws that apply to all American, except those privileged few.
LOL. Tell us another one...
I’m sure McConnell will welcome am investigation into his corruption.
The Head RINO speaks.
But not for Trump voters.
I am getting REALLY tired of the RINOs taking pot shots at President Trump.
The one thing democrats are good at is standing behind their guy. No dissension in the ranks.
These freaking Never-Trumpers WANT fauxahauntis or plugs or even hiLIARy.
Someone needs to get them into a freaking room and beat them with a rubber hose until they finally get with the program.

Exclusive — Peter Schweizer: Mitch McConnell’s Family Fortune Dependent on Chinese Government’s ‘Good Graces’
Follow the money...
[snip]
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) familial ties to the Chinese state via his father- and sisters-in-law are causes for concern, deduced Schweizer. James Chao, McConnell’s father-in-law, founded Foremost Group, a shipping company that has done “large volumes of business” with Chinese state-owned companies. McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, is the current secretary of transportation.
“So Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, his wife Elaine Chao, who’s the transportation secretary in the Trump administration, her family has deep economic and financial ties to the Chinese government itself,” said Schweizer. “They are in the shipping business, and they own something called the Foremost Group, and really, in 1993, Mitch McConnell, as a senator, travels to China with his father-in-law, James Chao, as guests of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation.”
He continued, “The China State Shipbuilding Corporation is the largest defense contractor in China, and the projections are that by 2030, if current trends continue, they are going to surpass the U.S. Navy as far as naval capability. Basically, what happens is, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation says to the Chao family, ‘Look, we will build your ships. We will finance the purchase of some of your ships. We will provide crews for your ships. We will provide contracts for you to ship state-owned goods from state-owned companies around the Pacific. In other words, we are going to set you up in the shipping business,’ which is exactly what they do, and, in fact, James Chao — this would be Elaine Chao’s father, Mitch McConnell’s father-in-law — and Elaine’s sister, Angela Chao, actually joined the board, in 2007 and 2008, of something called China State Shipbuilding Corporation, CSSC Holdings, which is a subsidiary of the largest defense contractor in China. So you have this powerful American political family that is making U.S. policy related to China, related to trade, and other critical issues that is highly dependent upon the good graces of the Chinese government.”
Schweizer framed McConnell’s “increasingly soft” political positioning towards China as a function of his familial and financial ties to the Chinese state.
“McConnell himself has benefited because a few years ago, James Chao gave Mitch McConnell a gift between five and twenty-five million dollars that more than quadrupled his net worth overnight,” noted Schweizer. “So this is not just about Elaine Chao’s family getting wealthy. That wealth has now trickled into Mitch McConnell’s pocket, as well, and it’s a huge problem because if you chart the positions that Sen. McConnell has taken on China over the last twenty years, guess what? Shock of all shocks, he has become increasingly soft as it relates to China, and I think it is directly related to the fact that he knows his family’s financial future is tied to the good graces and good faith of the Chinese communist government.”
Schweizer described the Chinese government as “freaked out” over the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, owing to the 45th president’s decades-long view of the “rising threat of China.”
“So the election of Donald Trump, there’s no other way to say it, it completely freaked out the Chinese government because Trump has really been focused — whether one agrees with him on trade policy or not — he has focused since the 1980s on what he regards as a rising threat of China; whether it relates to trade, economics, or military power,” surmised Schweizer.
According to Schweizer, China’s decision to appoint McConnell’s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, to the Bank of China’s board of directors — ten days after 2016’s presidential election — was a response to the election of Trump to the White House.

I used to read your posts, but I didn't know you had such an ugly, evil spirit.
Boy howdy, was I wrong about you.
You are not a good guy.
Not sure what you are, but you are not one of the good guys.
I DESPISE THOSE FCKERS!!! Hate them!!!
I understand that there is at least a chapter on Mitch and his corrupt wife taking huge payoffs from China for 'favors rendered'.
Again, I publically apologize profusely for holding my nose and voting for him and beg forgiveness from this community. I’ve learned my lesson.
HA. GMTA. I wasn’t copying, Honest.
