McConnell: ‘Don’t Think There’s Any Chance’ Trump Will Shut Down Mueller Probe

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Thursday that he did not think there was “any chance” President Donald Trump wouldn’t let the Mueller investigation reach its conclusion.

“The President has said on multiple occasions the Mueller investigation should be completed,” McConnell told WVLK, as quoted by CBS News. “He wish it would happen sooner. But I don’t think there’s any chance that the Mueller investigation will not be allowed to finish.”

  1. In any case, this is going faster than grease through a goose. It appears this Whitaker sub-plot has a very short arc: jump the line, obstruct justice as acting United States Attorney General, go to jail. Take that, John Mitchell!

    I wouldn’t bet any money on that premise, Mitch. And when he does, I doubt you’ll have the huevos to try to stop him.

  3. Look at another angle. Trump may be fishing for information. He has been at arms reach to the core of the investigation. Now he has a man they have to report to that is amicable to Trump. I am hoping if that happens and it is reported back, we get to see Trump’s hair turn white over night.

    If Yertle had only stopped at “I don’t think”, I’d believe him.
