A Burr in their britches

A BURR IN THEIR BRITCHES Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans have done everything but build a moat and a drawbridge to keep House Democrats from pursuing President Trump.

So the idea that they would then turn and eat one of their own to save Trump’s eldest son another day of testimony was foolish on its face.

Depending on your point of view, you may think that Senate Republicans acted out of patriotic virtue, partisan self-interest or even malign intent. But work no one could reasonably argue that that they have not acted to protect Trump.

Not only have the members of the Senate GOP made it clear that they will not convict the president on the charges House Democrats are considering for impeachment, but they have generally used their chairmanships and control of schedule to deny Democrats the chance to harass or genuinely threaten the Trump presidency.

In addition, the Senate Judiciary committee under Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has enlisted itself in the war against the Deep State. If you say “Mueller” north of Statuary Hall these days you’ll get 14 “Bruce Orrs” and two dozen “Page and Strzoks” for your penance. Whether you like these probes of probes or not, they too are just as easily explained by honest dealing and pursuit of truth as those run by Democrats in the lower chamber.

I cannot STAND Chris STIREWALT! He’s a Pathetic excuse for a reporter!

This is harassment of Trump Jr. to get at POTUS Trump, period. Trump Jr. was not elected to anything and there is nothing to be gained from trying to entrap him other then to get at Trump. These two faced POS “republicans” in the senate are not fooling everyone, that’s for sure. And linda with his claims he is going to investigate the investigators is complete BS. He has done squat and the house dems have been making up things to charge people with with no resistance, Jorden and Nunes excepted. The dems are running rings around the repubs as usual. And the worm little marko rubio is one of the biggest POS of all on par with romney, burr and collins. Screew them all.

Just curious, is this Burr a descendant of that other famous Burr? You remember... Aaron.

[Grampa Dave]

Chris needs to pass drug tests before he does this again.

[bigbob]

Remove Burr as chairman, dammit Mitch!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Stirewalt is a turd!

[Guenevere]

Stirewalt is an obnoxious, full of himself poseur.........his whole attitude, demeanor and voice sickens me!

[Lurkinanloomin]

They don’t have drug testing at Fox News, I see..........

[rightwingcrazy]

12th cousin, I read.

[Robert DeLong]

Can’t believe I wasted my time even reading that nonsense. Chris needs to hop on over to CNN.

Perhaps you can explain why President Trump has been conspicuously silent -- actually downright jovial, apparently -- in the face of all this.

Rush Limbaugh alluded to this peculiar item today.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Chris Stirewalt that figures.

What else can he do, make a public scene that the msm will turn into an indication of guilt? Do you actually believe burr, sasse, rubio, collins just to name a few would be doing this to help Trump? No, if history is any indication they are doing this to keep the "Trump colluded with Russia" narrative alive so the msm has it's talking points for the weekend. And to try to railroad Trump Jr. into a process crime. Of course that's JMHO, but it is rooted in historical fact.

The younger Trump can get out of this simply by pleading the 5th and refusing to show up.

In fact, I've noticed that the story itself seems to have faded from the news -- with the exception of articles that are being posted by Freepers here for the second or third time in the last 48 hours.

And to the rinos, dems and msm that will be an automatic admission of guilt.

[Afterguard]

Hmmm... I hear Don Jr. is a sportsman and an excellent shot. Maybe he can challenge Burr to a duel. /s

1. Guilt of what?

2. They assume anyone remotely related to Trump is a Nazi anyway -- so who gives a sh!t?
