    McConnell Is Blocking Any Plan to Prevent a Russian Election Attack in 2020
    The House Judiciary Committee held hearings today on the Mueller report and its devastating findings of the Trump campaign efforts to collude with Russia, and Trump’s obstruction of justice thereof. The Republican message, articulated by ranking member Doug Collins, is that this is all in the distant past — the Mueller report came out in early spring; it’s already late spring — and we should focus on the future. “We’re not bringing Russians front and center,” he complained. “If we were attacked, then the priorities should be to go on the battlefields and not to the sideshow.”

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Now I'm convinced that Mitch McConnell is owned by Russia also.

    McConnell WANTS (and Welcomes) Foreign Interference.

    The Turtle knows that the GOP can't possibly win without Foreign Interference.

    Nah - Whatever else we may think of him, Mitch isn't a stupid man. He sees the writing on the wall, so he and the wife are just sucking as much marrow out of the bones as they can.

    Just like how he and other Republicans refused to stand with Obama when he wanted to do something about Russia. You would think the so called 'patriots" could at least do that, but no it was something Obama wanted, so can't have that.

    Russian attacks and trolling will be reported to the House Intel Cmte, which can release the findings.

    What devastating findings of collusion were in the Mueller report?

    I expressly remember reading that he found NONE.

    Can you point them out to us please...these devastating findings of collusion because none of us want to see a blatant lie in your opening post.

    Someone as respected as you would never do that.

    Right?

    You distinctly ignore the rest of report, Spooky. OOJ is still on the table, while 29 other DOJ, FBI, intel, congressional, and state investigations continue to peer into the criminality of the Trump Family. Here is two of them.

    This is Mitch being Mitch. He's more of a partisan hack than any GOP party chairman ever was, and to be a republican these days means supporting Putin and his schemes to dabble in electoral chaos.

    Mueller's report is less verified than the Steele dossier. Bob should have just given it to Buzzfeed. :roflol:

    Your facts are completely backward. May I suggest you worry about your own country's politics. We don't need your help with ours.

    Your forgetting about the multiple details regarding his obstruction of justice. But I understand if you wanted to intentionally leave that out.

    How ****ing partisan can you be? This is not about Ds vs Rs. It is about the integrity of American elections! That should concern EVERY American.

    It certainly concerns all patriots.

    But all you can see is that Russian interference might help your guy get elected, so it is ok.

    The Democrats complete and utter terror at the idea that our elections are being "hacked" by memes on Facebook and twitter shows what Democrats really think of themselves. They are know they a disinterested and not very smart crowd and simply follows the herd. This is also why Democrats always cater their arguements to emotions and distance themselves from any issue that requires thought.

    Russian attacks on elections in the USA cannot be stopped. It these attacks could be stopped the illustrious NSA and the sixteen other prestigious intelligence agencies would have already done so. But they are all totally unable; they have no such ability.

    If you want Putin to stop you got to pound him hard -- with the war machine. Pain and suffering gets results.

    Anyone claiming to be from the party of the highly educated and intellectually elite would have stopped reading after seeing the bolded part above, a hater probably wouldn't.

    Collusion is still being investigated, yes.

    And, yes, OOJ is still very much on the table.
