Maddow Blog Mitch McConnell changes his tune about the Jan. 6 investigation
Shortly before members of Congress left Capitol Hill for their holiday break, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was asked what he hoped to learn from the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack. I assumed he'd dismiss the bipartisan panel and its relevance.
But he didn't. "I read the reports every day," the Kentucky Republican told reporters, "and it'll be interesting to see what [investigators] conclude."
As NBC News noted, McConnell went a little further later in the week.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday that he looks forward to seeing what the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol finds in its probe. "It was a horrendous event and I think what they are seeking to find out is something the public needs to know," McConnell said in an interview with Spectrum News.
In the same interview, he added, "I think the fact-finding is interesting; we're all going to be watching it."

Who begged the Senate to block a 1/6 committee as a “personal favor”?
I don't think he ever liked Trump one bit, but he toed the line and acted like a good little Trumpian as long as Trump was in power and able to help stack SCOTUS and other federal courts with conservative justices. (At least I assume that's why he went along with all of Trump's crap. It's hard to see what else was in it for him.)
Mitch used Trump to get the judges he wanted, but he had to keep that disgusting pig's hindquarters well smooched the whole time. *gag* Now that Trump's out of power, the mutual hate between those two is palpable, and it's kind of hilarious to see.
