McConnell won’t allow a vote on the bipartisan bill to protect the special counsel

McConnell is more interested in protecting Trump than protecting justice.  Sad!

Great New York Times editorial

The New York Times warns it will be up to Congress to take action if Trump tries to harm or shutdown the Mueller investigation.

I don’t have any confidence in congressional Republicans.  They won’t protect the Special Counsel and won’t do anything if Mueller or Rosenstein are fired.

As the Washington Post argues, Fox News will protect Trump.  The column notes that “In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, three of four Republicans said they believed the Justice Department and the FBI are actively working to undermine Trump.”

Sad!

Trump wants people to go on TV to encourage him to fire Mueller

Everything for Trump is based on what’s on TV.  In this case, he tries to manipulate the coverage but Fox News is already his equivalent of Russia’s RT. He should just move the Fox News studio into the White House and cut out the TV set.

Which country does Trump represent?

Trump blames the Russia investigation for bad relations with Russia.  You wouldn’t have the Russia investigation if Russia hadn’t meddled in the US 2016 election.  Blame Russia, not your own country!  Which country does Trump work for?

Sad!

Trump should use these words for Russian meddling in the 2016 election

Trump was critical of the raids against his lawyer.

“It’s “an attack on our country in a true sense, an attack on what we all stand for,” Trump said of the raids, which were first reported by The New York Times.”

I am going to make a few points which are not my own original thoughts – I have seen people say this online or on TV.

  1. Trump should use this language against Russia for their attacks on the 2016 election but he never will.
  2. He equates “the country” with himself.  The raids are not an attack on our country and what we stand for.  This is authoritarian behavior.

Sad!
