RNC Chair shows that Trump definitely leads the way as she calls for an end to Russia investigation

“The Democrats have a playbook. We know it: It’s resist, obstruct,” she told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” “Now it’s, throw doubt on the administration, open as many investigations as possible, cloud the administration as much as possible, because they’re trying to run out the clock on 2018.”

That’s … pretty damned accurate. And it’s nice that the RNC chair sees 2018 hanging out there like a big The End sign. However, unlike eight (8) Benghazi hearings and the endless efforts to find something, anything, wrong with Hillary Clinton’s email, the problem for Trump is that there’s genuinely a lot of there there. This isn’t a Republican-dominated Congress cobbling together reasons to investigate a Democratic administration and candidate. This is a Republican-dominated Congress reluctantly agreeing that a Republican regime warrants investigation.

So, when the RNC chair says this …

“I’m calling for an end to the investigations about President Trump’s campaign colluding with Russians,” she said. “There’s been no evidence of it. I don’t think that should continue.”

Someone might want to remind her that, not only is there enough evidence to support these investigations, including the Special Counsel investigation, her fellow Republicans agree—because if they hadn’t agreed, the investigations wouldn’t exist.

---But that’s Tuesday. Right now, the tone is a lot different — with Republicans pledging to embrace an agenda for the next two years that sounds a lot like their agenda for the past two: Block Obama at all costs.

Here’s John Boehner, the likely speaker if Republicans take the House, offering his plans for Obama’s agenda: “We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell summed up his plan to National Journal: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
