Here it comes....'Multiple Top Republicans Tell Mueller To 'Wrap It Up'

Top Republican lawmakers are becoming increasingly vocal about ending special counsel Robert Mueller’s federal probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“They ought to wrap it up. It’s gone on seemingly forever and I don’t know how much more they think they can find out,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday, according to the Washington Examiner.

It “has got to stop,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Fox News about Meuller’s investigation.

House speaker Paul Ryan wants to “see it get wrapped up.”

“I think Director Mueller would be well advised to wrap up his investigation,” Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn told reporters this week.

Unless Mueller wants to be “the main focal point of the midterm election, which again is not something the Department of Justice or FBI should be doing, then I think he needs to wrap it up,” Cornyn continued.

You know they are complicit and are getting very nervous. I have no doubt they have taken Russian money, probably filtered (or laundered) through the NRA. They have kept their mouths shut about the Trump/Russia connection because Trump knows which of them are as much in deep doo doo as he is. He has them by the short and curlies. That’s why they don’t turn on him. They are afraid of him and his base.

They are trying to shut down the investigation to influence the election to help themselves. Sense when did elected officials get a stop my investigation now card, because of an election?

You said, "...I don’t know how much more they think they can find out."

Kindly tell us how you know anything that Robert Mueller has uncovered. In fact, you don't know much more than the general public because you do not have inside information from the Department of Justice. Remarkably, you're correct: you don't know how much more they think they can find out because you don't even know what they already know!

Mitch, sit down and shut up.

Apropos of very little: Wash Examiner is a piece of garbage that no one should ever quote.

And I'm praying that McConnell did something illegal and is prosecuted.
