Here's an interesting tid bit. I wonder what's going on.

But as the New York Times’ Nicholas Fandos tweeted, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) might be on board.

“In a close-doors GOP lunch, Burr walked through the backstory of the subpoena for Don Jr and defended his investigation’s work, per to people directly familiar,” Fandos posted. “McConnell also spoke up, the people said, offering his support for Mr. Burr and his handling of the committee.”

McConnells cool with this, as it nets him information he might not have yet...

Exactly how bad is the Mueller Report FOR HIM, and how to slither his way out from under the metric fuck-ton of shoes that are about to drop.
