11/30/17: We learn that over the summer, President Trump did his best to convince GOP lawmakers to help him out. Senator Richard Burr, head of the Intelligence Committee, tells reporters Trump spoke to him about how he’d like Congress to conduct its business. “It was something along the lines, ‘I hope you can conclude this [investigation] as quickly as possible.’”
Burr says he responded, “when we have exhausted everybody we need to talk to, we will finish.”
Trump asked other senators, including Milksop Mitch McConnell and Roy Blunt of Missouri, to end the investigation swiftly. Blunt says he was lobbied by the president during an Air Force One flight they shared to Springfield, Missouri. Trump told him “to wrap up the investigation.”
Yet another Republican senator said Trump
did not ask him to help end the investigation.
Finally, the president showed he understood the rule of law…
Ha, ha, I’m joking. That senator said Trump urged him to begin
investigating Hillary Clinton.
