subpoenas? i think joe biden s statement is ill advised but joe biden s not showing up, why should anybody else? the answer is because he s not part of this case because he s the trump administration. but he s right when he says once we get to the trial, no matter what happens and things can change during the trial and it s majority vote. so republicans can try to subpoena biden, hunter biden and these corrupt ukrainian officials, there was wrong doing on the part of the bidens, even though there s no foundation for that. and by being denied, can trump that up. mcconnell has no interest in this being a reasonable trial that aims at trump quid pro quo
looming, the desire to keep senate republicans in lock step with him, margo carlen writes, quote, murkowski wouldn t have gone so far as to be disturbed-mcconnell not committed to one of the few mistakes. and if only mcconnell hadn t blurted out his plans. he could have done everything he said high would with impunity-he not done so in public. and now mcconnell has lost the first post-impeachment round to nancy pelohsee. and now two republican groups critical of trump are putting pressure on other vulnerable republicans, including susan collins of maine to support impeachment. they began airing this ad on fox news in maine urging voters to call senator collins and demand
someone to appear. you can prove he s innocent and he just doesn t show up, how do you vote not guilty? i m not sure how or if he s going to break out, except by making out some sort of deal. i think i remember mitch mcconnell doesn t need logic on his side. it can change from day to day to day the way donald trump s position on many things change to be completely situational, whatever the way mcconnell thinks works to the benefit of senate republicans and to donald trump. we said that nachxy pelosi has trump-trump and she s trumped mcconnell for the time being. thank you very much for starting things off for us tonight. and coming up the new york
selling this merchandise. there are these big billboards saying russian mob money and blaming mitch mcconnell. but if mcconnell hadn t tried to block this push, the sanctions would probably still have been lifted. european countries were really putting a lot of pressure on the u.s. so what our story kind of shows is why is it so easy for russia post the mueller report, post everything to have this kind of economic influence? they re using u.s. lobbyists, u.s. banker, u.s. donations, all of that in order to kind of get their way. and soon after, again, from your story, soon after the kentucky deal was announced, lord barker sent a letter to the governors of eight more u.s. states. in the april 18th note, he touted the benefits of the investment and said the company was eager to evaluate other opportunities around the country. so not only did it happen, it s touted as a success. i get in an economically depressed part of the country, a ceo who can raise that kind of investment to indus
do any negotiations, they were just talking. and two days later, the a senate push to actually block the sanctions from being lifted end up being thwarted partly because of the efforts of mitch mcconnell. and then the sanctions were lifted as they were meant to be. and, you know, three months later, this company invested $200 million in this kentucky aluminum mill. ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, according to your story, one of long-time shareholders contributed more than a million dollars through his companies to a gop campaign fund tied to mcconnell. this isn t just speculative out there circumstantial stuff. there does seem to be stronger relationship. right. but i think what our story really shows is when you go kentucky, you re seeing the democrats like you said, they re selling this merchandise. there are these big billboards saying russian mob money and blaming mitch mcconnell. but if mcconnell hadn t tried to
