Mitch McConnell knows how bad it is going to get. [View all]

I think he has been briefed on some new intel. And I think that is why he got on the bandwagon agreeing to have an investigation. I think old Mitch gave it some thought and decided he wasn't going to get tainted and ruin his own career protecting Trump.

I have said it before, what is out there is only a fraction of what reporters are currently chasing down. There is something ugly looming to have made McConnell make a U-turn.
