McConnell Says It's 'Laughable' To Think Trump Deserves To Be Impeached

For Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the very notion that President Donald Trump could be deserving of impeachment seemed "laughable"

After having read a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president, McConnell said on Wednesday that it was "laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense."

"If this is the 'launching point' for House Democrats' impeachment process, they've already overplayed their hand," the Senate Majority Leader said.

Thanks for giving credit to ol’ Yertle.

He may not be everything we might desire in an aggressive majority leaders, but he does well within his limitations.

And to think that a while back, a lot of FReepers were lumping him in with a genuine coward, Paul Ryan.

Keep getting those judges confirmed, Sen. Mitch. That will be your legacy to the nation.

Liberal Newsweek Hit Piece...

Bty, I cannot find the source Newsweek used of where Mitch McConnell “Says It’s ‘Laughable’ To Think Trump Deserves To Be Impeached.” But I’d like the source, as it’s a great quote.

Why no Senate investigation of Biden and his son? Simple, Biden is a member of the Senate Club. Senators will protect their own, regardless of party. How many of them have helped or watched their families enrich themselves?

I can’t find anything funny about Impeachment of Trump.

Yes - and we must see the Repubs in the Senate start to hold hearings about the Biden quid pro quo crimes.

I wonder the same thing.

We who MIGHT support Lindsey Graham for 2020 must flood his office with demands that he (or others) in the Senate hold hearings on the Biden corruption......or we will not support him financially for 2020.

There, that’s a little more accurate detail.

There are all types, I guess. McConnell, like Ryan, played ball with the big money, Uniparty power brokers for most of his career, but unlike Ryan, he was savvy enough to maintain enough independence to not be controlled/blackmailed by them. He cooperated with them and, in exchange, received their support - but he didn’t allow himself to be compromised by them. Unlike Ryan, when his old Uniparty bosses were defeated he was not beholden to them (i.e. they didn’t have enough dirt on him to keep him in line) and was able to switch allegiance to Trump.

Although it would be hard to characterize McConnell as a great statesman/defender of the Republic, he ultimately fell on the right side of history so I guess he deserves credit for that.

This is all speculation on my part. Make what you will with it.

He’s pre-judging! If they don’t impeach the POTUS, there’s something really wrong here. YOU’RE OUT OF ORDER! THIS WHOLE PROCEEDING IS OUT OF ORDER!

The only thing laughable is you,where are the subpoenas for the bidens? Why is there not an investigation of intelligence spies in the Trump Whitehouse,he has to lock everything up or it gets on the front page of the Times,they are trying to undermine him with our allies and anyone who would speak to him on the phone.
The Democrat party has become a fifth column,they are corrupt,and there are a lot of Rinos that fall into that category as well

Good for McConnell.

Too bad we have a do-nothing Attorney General. The real criminals are Hillary, Obama, Soros, Podesta, Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Powers, Clapper, Powers, Jarrett, Lynch, Jackson-Lee, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Cummings, Nadler, Holder, Waters, Omar, and the scores of Obama holders and traitors within the State Dept, FBI, DOJ, and CIA.

But Barr does nothing. Epstein is murdered in his cell, and he confirms the "suicide" lie. The coup plotters walk the streets and rake in their millions.

When will Barr act? My guess is never.
