When will McConnell get out in front of this Russia BS like Ryan?

Ryan basically says there is zero evidence of wrong doing and that the Dems are just "setting their hair on fire" for attention.

I also think that, yet again, the Trump Admin needs to forcefully strike back and deal a death blow to this nonsense, if at all possible.

If there is nothing to it, then releasing his tax returns would go a long way in returning some credibility outside of his base.

I'm not shaking my fist and demanding it. OP was saying that the Admin should squash the rumor. If there is nothing to it, releasing his tax returns would do just that. I believe Obama released his birth certificate in response to baseless rumors as well.

no need for that
Yeah there is. There is nothing to this. Have listen to the Franken/Sessions exchange a half a dozen times and the is nothing. Just more liberal BS. If you think there is something incriminating in his tax returns...one of Obama's clowns would have leaked them by now. But the BS media would love some more material to speculate/manipulate to get the dumbass lib's screaming bloody murder.

The original question on this thread related to Mitch McConnell. The fascist Left partisans diverted to a rabbit trail about tax returns. Let's return to the original question. If McConnell does not speak up, act forcefully now in defense of the AG, the POTUS and assert the power he has as Senate Majority Leader, then I think we would rightly wonder if his silence is not a cowardly and cowering act of compliance with his media overlords and the uniparty deep government.

McConnell is more prudent than Ryan he doesn't want to be caught out on a limb after giving too much credence to Trump Administration spin.

where on the return could you see evidence of Russia influence? Specifically?

I don't know if McConnell was present at the closed door Senate meeting with Dir. Comey on 2/17 but he was almost certainly briefed on it. And nobody from that meeting has come to the admin's aid on any question of Russian connections. They're avoiding a listing--not quite sinking--ship.

That's what the fricking Deputy Director of the FBI is saying.

McConnell, AKA Myrtle the Turtle, would be so damn happy if low-energy Jeb was the President. He is one of the cuckiest of all cucks.


He did hold down the fort on Obama's SCOTUS nomination, though. I will give him that.

I'm not going to debate the whether or not Jeff Sessions intentionally misled or accidentally misspoke during his confirmation hearing.

As to what I said, it was a strategy suggestion as to something the Trump Admin COULD do to squash the rumors. The President talking about fake news, lying reporters and made up sources is not helping him outside of his base. Him releasing the tax returns would back up the words he says. if "one of Obama's clowns" were to leak it, it would still give the appearance that he had something to hide, rather than being forthright with it.

If by 'outside his base' you mean these clowns who are doing everything but shitting on the sidewalk in front of him, they will never, NEVER,
give Trump credibility. Their entire effort, especially this Russia BS, is to undermine his credibility. It is their only hope because they do not have the votes to stop him -in Congress, the Electoral College, and, soon, the Supreme Court.

There is nothing, NOTHING,
that will satisfy them short of DJT somehow disappearing as they wake up from what they assume is some kind of nightmare. (jokes on them...it's not a nightmare!)

They are zombies that need their brains squished, end of story.

I am not looking for evidence of anything. I am not demanding his tax returns. I am saying that if there is nothing to it, that level of transparency would help him in restoring credibility outside of his base. He doesn't have to release them, no one is compelling him to do so.

I'll flip the question to you: If there are no Russian business ties with in his tax returns, how would keeping them private help him?

He has nothing to gain cozying up to the lying arse liberal media. His taxes could be perfect and the BS media would report the opposite. He owes the liberal media the middle finger. They were in bed with Barry for 8 years and Clinton throughout her lousy campaign and still making up shite.

McConnell hinks if he plays nice with the Democrats they will be nice to his wife who is Transportation S. Elaine Chao....what he does not understand is that these Democrats will figuratively rape her too.

There's definitely something in his tax returns he doesn't want us to see, but I'd say it's probably that he has paid little to no income tax his entire life instead of any massive Russian conspiracy.
