McCain: Congress doesn't have 'credibility' to handle Russia probes

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.

He is trying to define the situation before it defines him.

McCain, just go away and die.

We will celebrate.

No one gives a smelly Obama about you or your one-celled brain.

McCain wants a select committee because the House committee is getting too close to the truth that Obama, in conjunction with career CIA and NSA personnel, released confidential national security information about Trump and his team in violation of the law, and McCain wants to gain more control over the probe to cover that up and protect his national security bureaucracy buddies.

Maybe McCain is in cohoots with the illegal intelligence releases about Trump.

I’d like to see an investigation into McCain’s ties to ISIS and munitions smuggling to terrorists. We could combine it with the same investigation of Hillary Clinton.

mclame doesn’t have the “credibility” to be a adequately functioning human being. His family should save further embarrassment and involuntarily commit this demented loser.

He's nuts

This goes beyond the pale. Does he even know that what he just said is that the Legislative Branch has an obligation to withhold information from the President?

It's not Crazy John that bothers me the most. It's that neither other Senators/Republican leaders nor his family haven't locked him in a padded cell.

Those in the DC swamp don't even care that he openly and proudly armed known terrorists.
