McConnell isn't upset about the Jan. 6 investigation because it will hurt the next elections...

[C Moon]

he's worried because he KNOWS several GOP politicians were directly involved.
He sounds more desperate than he has ever sounded right now.

I hope to God we move forward with the investigation and save our country.

1. Probably more than several. Many implicated in varying degrees.

[calimary]

7. Yes. Likely more than "several."

Methinks thou doth protest too much, Mitch.

When you're begging them to vote this down as a "personal favor"? Were YOU out there too? He knows. And he's desperate to keep it a secret. Which is why we must NOT stand for that!



I want NAMES, DAMMIT! I want to know who all those fuckers were. EVERY LAST MISERABLE ONE OF 'EM. Yes, I'm SHOUTING.

8. We now know that he was involved in some way. A personal favor is personal.

Personal to Mitch.

15. Like the blue line, except it's the red line. No implicating each other. So many villains.

2. HR1 is what is needed to save the country.

[Progressive Jones]

3. The Democrats have to push hard on this, and deal with any backlash later. Investigate ! nt

4. Is there a doj investigation on Jan 6th?

A full investigation; not just arresting those seen invading the capitol.

6. I think they have to limit things to just legal matters . A independent investigation

can look into things which may not be illegal but still questionable and how to deal with it in the future.

5. Is Moscow Mitch worried more about his own skin/involvement?

Asking for his friend Putin.

9. K&R

10. It's actually both...

Numerous repubs are already implicated peripherally, at least. If they lose any seats to this, their quest to retake the House is doomed.

I don't see them re-gaining the House as a foregone conclusion anyway, but they already look bad as it is. Keeping this event in the news for the next few months is a political loser for them. Dems need to keep the 2018 Blue Wave going. This would be additional motivation.

12. I imagine he and others see that the existence of the party is at stake. Not just from

Jan 6 but from deals, crimes, collusion, coordination going back to 2015. RNC, NRA, and individual members are in hip-deep and unless they find a way to soften the news the entire party could go under.

I think this is what they are fighting for. Certainly not for policies, ideas, solutions, and helping the rest of us.

14. +1

13. Exactly right

16. I hope it all blows up in his face.
