Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said in an interview aired Sunday that he has “more hope than belief” that the Republican-controlled Congress will investigate President Donald Trump if necessary.
“Can Americans be confident that a Republican-controlled Congress can investigate this President thoroughly if necessary?” Chuck Todd asked McCain on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
“I hope so and I have to believe so,” McCain said. “More hope than belief.”
He said that “there’s probably going to be some more shoes to drop” with regard to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“There’s so many questions out there that we first of all need to understand the parameters of what’s happened here,” McCain said. “I would hold off and wait and see what happens.”
McCain also said that he is “worried” about Trump’s decision to add his chief strategist Steve Bannon to the National Security Council, among other subjects.
“I worry,” he said. “I worry about the President’s understanding of some of these issues and his contradictory articulations.”
Devastating coming from McCain. This investigation definitely has legs. Time to get McConnell and Ryan on the record as well.
And Democrats need to run to the end zone with this and fight Trump, truly an illegitimate President, on everything.
There isn’t a spine to be had in the GOP: Special Victims Unit.
McCain is back where he’s most comfortable, on Sunday morning gasbag fests saying stuff just because he’s asked about them.
Charitable, so full-of-fuckin-wishful-thinking interpretation is he cued USIC there. But no… he’s still just talking.
Then candidate Trump insulted McCain as a loser for a being captured POW.
McCain eventually kissed up to Trump to get reelected in AZ.
Now President Trump couldn’t care less about anything McCain says.
