I know… John McCain as been the “Waffle Meister” on Trump ever since the latter insulted the former’s military service during the campaign. But this may be more veneer cracking on the Cheeto’s presidency:
Yesterday evening, Josh over at TPM had this to say about recent developments:
We’re getting more clarity on where Republicans are ending up after a bruising, punishing 36 hours. Republicans are now reportedly debating whether to push for an independent prosecutor or commission, two demands Democrats have made for weeks or months but which almost all Republicans have heretofore refused. They seem almost universally to be calling to see the Comey memos and hear from Comey himself as soon as possible. Wanting to hear more from Comey – either from his memos or his testimony is an obvious position for Republicans since it covers all the possible bases and leaves freedom to maneuver as the situation becomes more clear. They’re not condemning or defending. They just want to hear more. They can interpret that as condemnation or defense later, as more facts reveal themselves. The upshot of tonight, I think, is that Republicans collectively decided to get out of the way. They’re not attacking Trump. But they’re also no longer standing in the way or blocking more investigations. For now at least they seem to saying: you’re going to need to handle this on your own.
No crazy Tweets from the Cheeto this morning would seem to indicate even he’s gotten the memo that his ass is in some serious hot water. Hope springs eternal..
