Republicans block Senate bid to protect Mueller probe

"Republican leaders on Wednesday blocked a bipartisan US Senate effort to protect special counsel Robert Mueller, leaving his Russia investigation exposed amid new moves interpreted as threats to the probe."

So much for maintaining integrity of the investigation...

'When Republican Senator Jeff Flake, a critic of the president, and Democratic Senator Chris Coons introduced their measure and sought a swift unanimous consent vote on the floor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell objected.

"The president now has this investigation in his sights and we all know it," Flake told colleagues after McConnell's objection.'

"This is not a moment for our national leadership to be weak or irresolute or compromised in any way."

Clearly the investigation is coming up empty, save for some meaningless collateral damage. Sorry progs, I know it sucks when someone tells you there is no Santa Clause and you aren't getting shit for Christmas.

Trump is Santa Claus. This investigation is the proof that you clowns have been playing three monkeys with. We shall see what "collateral damage" looks like as the Orange Santa's inner circle gets indicted.

Mueller probably started with trump and went down the line to get witness' "confessions". Lots of guts have been spilled.

His window here may be short. Lets see what next week brings.

Mueller has said nothing, therefore nobody outside his team has a clue who is guilty and for what.

So much for Lindsey Graham's big 'holy hell' talk.

He has proven to the world what a shill he is.

That guy's definitely gotta go.

In fact he is a perfect example of how these R's say one thing and do another- pure liars.

Which is exactly why Meuller needs to be protected.

I hope Flake doesn't let one judge through.

F these hucksters

Graham went "rogue" when McCain died.

McCain kept him sane.

He needs a father figure to keep him in line so he latched onto Trump.

I could be wrong, but that's the way I see it.

LOL. at your ridiculous clearly.

"191 criminal counts, 35 people and entities charged, six people who have pleaded guilty, one person who was found guilty at trial and three people who have been sentenced to prison.

So far, and we know that this was just the tip.
There is no Santa Claus.
There are real patriots.

It's gonna be a huge Christmas.
Bye Bye lying sack of shit.

Oh look. It's Zeus, the trumpanzee who gets his news from fakebook. Don't you worry Zeus- There's a lockdown at RoyalPalm high because a Hertz rental was found abandoned behind a neighboring pizza shack. In the truck were suspicious boxes with Cyrillic writing all over them, except for the words "provisional", "Stormy" , and "Orange Neck Pussy".

If Trump has done nothing wrong, why not let Mueller continue?

Why does he need protection from congress?

-------------------------
I was right.

Just like his taxes,

he has nothing to hide...

Butt...

LOOK! an invasion of ILLEGAL migrants!!!

He doesn't need protection from Congress. Trump isn't going to fire Mueller. All that BS is being made up by dems to get into the news. Y'all should at least be intelligent enough not to buy your own BS.

For once I agree with the Drumpf when he says:
Russia investigation is a disgrace to our nation.

Especially when it's our president* who is under the investigation for collusion and obstruction of justice, and continues to claim innocence, all the while attempting to impede the investigation.

No opinion, just the facts. Here are the grand jury indictments obtained so far:
> 13 Russian nationals,
>3 Russian companies,
>12 officers of Russia's military intelligence service (GRU),
>George Papadopoulos (former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser),
>Paul Manafort (Trump's former campaign chair), Rick Gates (former Trump campaign aide and Manafort's longtime junior business partner),
>Michael Flynn (Trump's former national security adviser),
>Richard Pinedo (California resident),
>Alex van der Zwaan (London lawyer),
>Konstantin Kilimnik (longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates, currently based in Russia),
>Michael Cohen (Trump's former lawyer),
>Sam Patten (Republican operative and lobbyist).
