Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had few words Tuesday night on the bombshell news that President Donald Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey. While saying nothing about the decision to fire the man overseeing the intelligence community’s investigation into alleged coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, McConnell noted that he was looking forward to confirming his replacement.
“Once the Senate receives a nomination, we look forward to a full, fair, and timely confirmation process to fill the Director position,” his statement read. “This is a critical role that is especially important as America faces serious threats at home and abroad.”
Other Republicans were much more critical of the sudden firing of Comey, calling it “troubling” and expressing concern that it would hurt the investigation going forward.
I hope that McConnell didnt have that shit grin on his face when he was making that statement.
The pathetic thing is that he probably doesn’t know he’s ever more hideous when he tries to feign human emotion
Lyin’ turtle says what?
Planning a 50 + Pence confirmation vote, no doubt.
