McConnell Won't Play Schumer's Game, BLOCKS Resolution to Make Mueller Report Public
Mitch McConnell is done playing games with his Democrat colleagues.
Chuck Schumer and others may want to continue to drag out the Mueller report for as long as possible, with the hopes of further tarnishing President Trump’s image, but Mitch won’t have it.
That’s why he just made a big move.
From The Hill:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blocked a resolution calling for special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to be released publicly.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) asked for unanimous consent for the nonbinding resolution, which cleared the House 420-0, to be passed by the Senate following Mueller’s submission of his final report on Friday.
“Whether or not you’re a supporter of President Trump … there is no good reason not to make the report public,” Schumer said from the floor. “It’s a simple request for transparency. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) likes the move made by McConnell…
Good. Because this measure is an unnecessary solution looking for a problem. Just like the previous one they had to prevent @potus from firing Mueller.

When a person deletes a tweet, it generally signifies they were in the wrong.
Probably should’ve thought twice about pressing “send” to begin with, but we’re all human.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) sent a wild tweet accusing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s chief of staff of being responsible for the uptick in people criticizing her, but was then quick to jump ship.
Check it out…
In her now deleted tweet, @AOC claimed that people who criticize her on twitter are actually robots run by Cocaine Mitch.
How did she figure this out? Who told her?

Is this why AOC sent the tweet to begin with?
Who’s behind the dark money group bashing @AOC in Times Square? Notorious astroturf firm Berman & Co got $2.5M from the org in 2017. Cavalry LLC, founded by Mitch McConnell’s former chief of staff, was paid $419K

There are just two teensy problems here: Cavalry isn’t Berman, and “bots” is a pretty big leap from a catchall term like “astroturf.”

Alexandria sent a follow-up tweet:
Heads up – I’m deleting a tweet about astroturfing bc I want to make sure details are solid.
Dark $ is hard to track, & the practice of astroturfing to manipulate public opinion is notorious. Want to make sure any comments about it are thorough. Quote tweet will be RT’d ✌????

Reaction:
Every journalist in America should ask @AOC what she’s talking about here. This was a voter registration project. She’s easily the most reckless politician in America. https://t.co/8iETM2787k

Last month, AOC suggested it is better to be morally right than factually correct
Last night, she was neither. https://t.co/2mH3JZ9XmR

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is everything wrong with America, at the moment.
She doesn’t understand what makes the United States great, and she’s ignorant when it comes to learning her history.
After Special Counsel Robert Mueller turned in his final Russia collusion report to Attorney General Bill Barr, Maddow actually cried on live TV.

In terms of what the Mueller investigation's conclusion means and what it found, we know only the smallest little bits. This is the start of something, apparently, not the end of something. pic.twitter.com/8NYatLnQfP

Mueller filing is a "comprehensive report." -Josh Gerstein, Politico, reports
(Gerstein also points out that part of the memo on the scope of Mueller's investigation was blacked out, so we don't actually know everything Mueller was assigned to investigate.) pic.twitter.com/v9AjYzTCXK
