Leader McConnell spoke on the Senate floor today about the abuses of the Obama administration of federal law enforcement agencies against the Trump campaign, and said Republicans in the Senate will get answers for the American people:
Here’s more via DC Exmainer:
The Senate plans to investigate and “get answers” to alleged abuses by the Obama administration involving the targeting of President Trump’s campaign and transition team, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday.
“The American people deserve answers about how such abuses could happen, and we intend to get those answers,” McConnell said in a Senate floor speech.
The Kentucky Republican delivered the strongest statement yet in support of the view that Trump and his administration have been subject to improper or even illegal surveillance, as well as unfair treatment by the outgoing Obama administration and others seeking to undermine him.
Judge Emmet Sullivan…
McConnell criticized U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan for refusing to allow the Justice Department to drop its prosecution of Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn after the DOJ discovered improper and biased handling of Flynn’s investigation.
“No matter what some Washington Democrats may try to claim, you’re not crazy or a conspiracy theorist if you see a pattern of institutional unfairness toward this president,” he said. “You would have to be blind not to see one.”
McConnell also mentioned that Lindsey Graham and Republicans will be subpoenaing Obama administration officials:
McConnell signaled his support for upcoming hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee that will seek the testimony of key Obama administration officials, including former FBI Director James Comey and former national security adviser Susan Rice, “to get to the bottom of this.”
I’m glad to see McConnell giving his blessing on these new subpoenas that Graham ahd the Judiciary committee will be seeking. After all, this is what Trump suggested they do and honestly, it’s about time. It’s an election year and the American people deserve to know the extent of these abuses (or illegal activity), which should have never happened in the first place.
There’s a lot more in the video above so be sure and watch it.
