McConnell: Mueller 'ought to wrap it up'
The Hill, Jun 15, 2018, Jordain Carney
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is signaling that he believes special counsel Robert Mueller needs to end his probe into the 2016 presidential election, noting the investigation has gone on "forever."
“What I think about the Mueller investigation is, they ought to wrap it up. It’s gone on seemingly forever and I don’t know how much more they think they can find out,†the Kentucky Republican told the Washington Examiner, when asked if he still had confidence in the investigation.
McConnell added that if the Justice Department's inspector general — who released a report on the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation on Thursday — had finished, "why can’t the Mueller investigation finally wrap up?â€
McConnell has been publicly supportive of Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, as well as into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

Knock me over with a feather! Surely Mitch didn't actually say that.

He's back on the Coke.

I thought he was a Mountain Dew man.... :laugh:

Why does Mueller not have a finite budget? Give him $10 million max. Anything above that comes out of his own pocket.

"Gone on seemingly forever"? This investigation has been relatively short compared to similar investigations in the past: Mueller's got a little over a year invested while the average similar investigation in the past took 1,154 days (a little over 3 years) I suspect the President could help speed things along simply by agreeing to an interview. After all, he said he'd do one: "100%".

My jaw is on the floor. These are words I never expected to hear from swampy McConnell. Strange days indeed.

The entire Mueller investigation is a political attack!
