Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told reporters on Monday evening that Congress should not launch a probe into President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that President Obama wiretapped his campaign unless there’s reason to believe that the accusation may be true.
“If there’s no basis for it, then there’s no reason for an investigation,” McCain told reporters, referring to a Congressional probe into the claim, according to Roll Call.
McCain said that Trump is obligated to tell the American people why he made the claim.
“The president said it, and based on something. What was the basis of his conclusion that his predecessor had broken the law by wiretapping Trump Tower?” McCain said, per Roll Call. “The American people need to know.”
“It’s his obligation to tell the American people why he made the allegation that he did, on what basis, and that information should be known to the American people — not just Congress, not just a select committee, but to the American people,” the senator added, per Roll Call. “Because he has charged his predecessor, according to the former director of national intelligence, with violating the law.”
McCain also told reporters that he has never “seen anything like this,” according to Politico.
“This is unprecedented,” he said, per Politico. “I have never heard of a president of the United States accusing his predecessor or any other president of the United States of violating the law.”
Laugh all you want, but we are all waiting for McCain to get on the white horse-----and to stay there until Trump is gone.
Well you’d think John.
But regardless, ONE tweet from ‘STUPID’ and the whole focus should be turned from Russia? If he has nothing to hid, why is he so obsessed with Obama.
I guess we’ll find out if ‘STUPID’ can still play the media and Congress.
Has Linsey Graham jumped ship on John?
The Maverick stands alone, among the cowardly Republicans.
Duh. No shit Sherlock. You mean you don’t want to spend more taxpayer money to investigate absolute bullshit just to provide cover for an moron that tweets at 6 in the morning because he’s a delusional rage-aholic? TBD.
Here’s an idea…how about you require this moron President release his taxes to Congress? If you do-nothing Republicans continue to refuse to see what connections he has to Russian oligarchs and mobsters, we will never know where America’s national security is being compromised in relation to this idiot. Don’t tell us what you won’t do…Tell us what you will do to protect the American people…otherwise STFU.
Don’t worry. McCain has to burp something every so often to pretend that he’s “independent”. Like Susan Collins, though, he’ll fall into line when the time comes.
It’s his Constitutional obligation to see that Comrade Chaos is removed from office toot sweet. Until then …
Fuck You, Sid McCrashcup!
