Alaska Fingers Crossed
Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski found her voice. She says Mitch McConnell’s behavior is “disturbing.”
I think it’s real nice of her to notice. Finally.
Murkowski indicated she’d prefer to see a “full and fair process” that possibly uses the Clinton precedent as a model.
But would not say how she plans to vote on the question of conviction.
“For me to prejudge and say there’s nothing there or, on the other hand, he should be impeached yesterday, that’s wrong, in my view, that’s wrong,” Murkowski said.
Two things:
They cannot use the Clinton model. Clinton testified under oath. Trump refuses to do that. Clinton did not send a 6 page letter to Newt Gingrich that went beyond disturbing and into the Land O’ Scary as Hell.
Second, Murkowski will do what the hell ever her handlers – the Alaskan oil and gas industry – tell her to vote. Trump supports raping the Alaska environment so she will support Trump.
She’s talking a good game, but she couldn’t find courage with a map, a sherpa, and a mission statement.
