Schumer: Senate Democrats May Refuse To Vote On Trump FBI Pick

Via Reuters:

The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate said on Sunday that Democrats would consider refusing to vote on a new FBI director until a special prosecutor is named to investigate President Donald Trump’s potential ties to Russia.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said his caucus has not yet made a decision on whether to withhold their votes, but added that the issue is being looked at as a way to ensure there is a thorough investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

“To have that special prosecutor, people would breathe a sigh of relief because then there would be a real independent person overlooking the FBI director,” Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union” program.[…]

If the Senate vote on an FBI director were to break down along strict party lines, Democrats would not have the votes to block a nominee.

Republicans control both chambers of the U.S. Congress. They hold 52 seats in the 100-member Senate, enough to approve a FBI nominee provided that no more than two Republican senators break ranks. In the event of a tie vote, Vice President Mike Pence would cast the deciding vote.

“The key is getting some of our Republican colleagues to join us,” Schumer said.

Thanks for the heads up asshole. President Trump can appoint an interim FBI Director. Let's see, wasn't it the democrats and Obama, who said on numerous occasions, that the Republicans were holding the U.S. hostage. So, who's holding who hostage now? Since President Trump took office, the mask has fallen away from the democrats, and the RINOs too. They totally refuse to cooperate. Trump could turn gay, and embrace islam, and the left would turn Christian by Tuesday. Schumer and the democrats will not let this false story about the Russians go because it is all they got to distract from the great things President Trump is doing. Hey, Chuck, I'm sure you've heard of President Trump's good Russian buddies, Pissov and Fuckov. F**k you Chuck, we don't need your stupid ass. We know obstructionism is your thing. You pull stuff like this, yet still can't figure out why you lost.

The FBI Is Investigating Bernie Sanders’s Wife Over Sketchy Land Deal

Via Daily Caller:

Justice Department officials and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have investigated the wife of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — and may still be investigating her — over her role in the possibly fraudulent acquisition of nearly $7 million in tax-exempt bonds when she was the president of Burlington College.

An extremely ambitious expansion and fundraising effort spearheaded by Jane Sanders ended up bankrupting the tiny, private and now-defunct school in Burlington, Vermont. It closed its doors — suddenly and permanently — in 2016.

Gee, some of that college money didn't buy any of those bonds did it? Or that third house? Maybe Bernie ought to spend a little more time at home watching out for what his wife is doing. Don't you hate it when the socialists rip off the taxpayers? Another socialist corruption and failure ? Say it ain't so!
