McConnell says Mueller has ‘great credibility,’ shouldn’t be fired (RINO alert!)
New York Post ^ | 3/20/18 | Bob Fredericks

Posted on 03/20/2018 2:38:56 PM PDT by BurgessKoch

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday broke his silence over President Trump’s virulent Twitter attacks on Robert Mueller — saying the special counsel had “great credibility” and should not be fired.

“Well look, I agree with the president’s lawyers that Bob Mueller should be allowed to finish his job,” the Kentucky Republican told reporters on Capitol Hill.

“I think he was an excellent appointment. I think he will go wherever the facts lead him and I think he will have great credibility with the American people when he reaches a conclusion of this investigation,” he said.

Well, the Turtle is no fan of Trump, so I can see him stumping for Mueller.

Not sure why Linda thinks it would be the end of the Presidency? Trump is the POTUS, thus the executive, and he can fire whom he pleases.

Yes, this is one deep state operative praising another. The more heat Trump brings to bear, the more blow back he is going to get. If the deep state coup plotters bring down President Trump, most of the political class and coup plotters need to be tarred and feathered just for starters.

I'm not a good guy because I don't think the military would have launched a coup if Hillary won?

OK. Gotcha...

Well, this just reinforces my view that Ryan (Romney) and McConnell (Bush) are part of the conspiracy to remove our President.

This explains why Mueller keeps begging to be fired. Trump’s enemies (which include many if not most elected Republicans) scoped out a long time ago that thin skin (for a politician) was his weakness,

Ryan and McConnell knew that their voters would never stand for removing Trump for no reason. By wanting to re-live Watergate, they imagined McConnell as Howard Baker and Ryan as who knows who, that if they could provoke Trump into firing Mueller, they could then “with a heavy heart” conclude that he had to go.

When I look at Mitch McConnell, what I see is a lack of credibility.

If the deep state coup plotters bring down President Trump...

What self respecting patriot would allow that to happen?

Obama closed down ITT Tech. I guess they were the example. University of Phoenix played ball.

It seems we are hearing more condemnation of Trump from
Republican Congressman over Mueller’s impending firing than from democrats — and Trump says he is not going to fire the Snake.

The only reason I can figure is that the Republicans are piling on so it won’t appear to be so unseemly, it will seem the natural flow of events, when they join the democrats in impeaching Trump if he does.

What decade would that be?

Speaking of corruption.

Mitch McConnell is married to Elaine Chao

Elaine Chao’s father is James Chao, president of Foremost Group trading co that works with China. Closely. Their ships are built by the chinese. Their financing is chinese.

I’m sure it is pure coincidence that McConnell, who was once very hardline with China, has softened his positions since his marriage with Chao.

I wonder how McConnell would hold up to a deep exam of his finances.

I think Ryan would play the part of Eddie Haskell.

Good question, but the deep state agents are everywhere and the challenge will be to bring together enough patriots to show Congress and the coup plotters a credible threat of what could happen if Trump is removed.
