Discussion: McConnell Directs Committees To Consider 'Additional Measures' For Russia

Sounds like Yertle is beginning to suspect that the Russian Shitshow is going to have a baaaaaad PR effect on the midterms if they don’t at least pretend to be fighting it.

He may be sweating under his shell…

McConnell is hoping that everybody will forget that Obama administration sought bipartisan support for calling out the Russians for their interference and McConnell refused. So now he makes a show of patriotism, but it’s just a CYA effort.

Actually, as @irasdad implied upthread, McConnell was informed about the Russian interference in September 2016 and fiddled while Rome burned.

Welp Mitch, you and your Senate are just a couple years late but maybe you can finally do something other than playing with the pencils and erasers and fiddling around?
Mitch, trump won;t do a goddamn thing about Russian hacking. In fact he will protect it. They got Kompromat on him bigly. Mitch…you could save the country if you wanted to. Impeach the bastard. Which would be step one.

OT, but speaking of Republican traitors, Nunes gets caught stealing from campaign funds. He must be hanging around with Duncan Hunter the second:

Shorter Yertle: we’ll talk about stuff but do nothing to prevent Russia from helping the GOP to steal the 2018 midterms”.

They actually want Two Factor Authentication, so an NRA membership card, and a loaded AK-47 would do it…

Oy, guessing Mitch wants to give the Ruskis a Lolly-pop for screwing with our election.

Reality is he needs to get closer to the information stream so he doesn’t get pissed on.

I’m sure no recommendations will forth coming from this committee until after the mid terms. Just a naive hunch.

Consider.

Meaning he reserves the right to ignore any results.

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Thursday that he’d
asked the chairmen of the Senate Banking and Foreign Relations
committees to “recommend to the Senate additional measures that could respond to or deter Russian malign behavior.”

these will include:
A stern talking to
No more broccoli imports to Ukraine
Ban on Dima Bilan 8 track tapes in the U.S.
