I have an idea.
We’ll swap the Democrats John McCain for Joe Manchin.
Joe’s going to need some re-educating, but based on his attitude about SOTU, he’s closer to being a Republican at this point than McCain is.
McCain is busy spitting out Pelosi and Schumer approved talking points.
Did you want the memo released? (The memo that OBVIOUSLY does not put American national security at risk.)
Yeah, ok. You’re helping the Russians.
Yup. John said that.
GOP Senator John McCain slammed President Donald Trump for approving the release of a once-classified memo.
The four-page document, released on Friday, contends that the FBI, when it applied for a surveillance warrant on a onetime Trump campaign associate, relied excessively on ex-British spy Christopher Steele whose opposition research was funded by Democrats.
At the same time, the memo confirms that the investigation into potential Trump links to Russia actually began several months earlier, and was ‘triggered’ by information involving a different campaign aide.
McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Forces Committee, issued a written statement saying ‘if we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him’, referencing Russia’s president.
‘In 2016, the Russian government engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in an American election and undermine our democracy,’ McCain wrote in the statement.
‘While we have no evidence that these efforts affected the outcome of our election, I fear they succeeded in fueling political discord and dividing us from one another.’
MCCAIN. SIT DOWN.
Seriously… it’s like he’s reading off post-it notes from Adam Schiff.
When your quotes could EASILY be attributed to Adam Schiff…we have a problem.
Released around the same time that the memo was declassified, the Arizona Republican characterized the memo and its release as ‘partisan attacks’ on the FBI and the Department of Justice.
‘Our nation’s elected officials, including the President, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows,’ McCain said.
He added that such ‘partisan attacks’ on the FBI and the Department of Justice ‘serve no American interests, no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s’.
The REPUBLICANS are the ones being partisan, according to McCain. You know… the Dems are just trying to keep us SAFE… the REPUBLICANS WANNA DESTROY AMERICA!!!!
Um… wth? Seriously, I’ve known McCain is a RINO forever, but wth is this? Seriously. He IS Chuck Schumer right now.
Spearheaded by Devin Nunes, a Republican from California and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, the release of the memo set off a firestorm on Friday.
The FBI had opposed the memo’s release, citing ‘grave concerns about material omissions of fact’.
Republicans claimed it shows bias in the FBI at the onset of the Russia probe.
But Democrats said it was a set of cherry-picked claims aimed at smearing law enforcement and that releasing the memo would damage law enforcement and intelligence work.
The memo alleges that the FBI abused its surveillance authority during an investigation into Carter Page, the President’s former foreign policy adviser.
And OF COURSE Pelosi wants Nunes removed.
On Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan demanding that Nunes be removed from his position.
‘Congressman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be removed immediately from his position,’ she said.
Uh huh. Of course.
McCain probably agrees with her.
I live in Arizona as of 3 weeks ago… I’m ALREADY livid to think this RINO TRAITOR is my Senator.
