Internet burns Mitch McConnell for opposing resolution to release full Mueller report: ‘He just told us Trump is guilty’

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has blocked a resolution to release special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
President Donald Trump told the press in the Oval Office on Monday that he believes the report should be published for the public to view, noting that he had nothing to hide.
“Yes! Let’s see it all because there’s nothing there,” echoed Trump campaign spokesperson Kayleigh MCenany.
McConnell on Monday blocked a non-binding resolution calling for Mueller’s full report to be made public. The resolution was passed unanimously in the House.
Jamison Foser, of NextGenAmerica, observed that this is yet another example of McConnell trying to bar Americans from knowing what’s happening when it comes to Russia. In 2016, President Barack Obama was barred by McConnell from telling Americans what was happening. The news came as part of a speech from former Vice President Joe Biden, who recalled the moment made him think “the die had been cast … this was all about the political play.”

“It is deeply disturbing that the Obama administration was apparently insufficiently prepared to anticipate and counter these Russian threats,” McConnell said Monday.
The internet was quick to rail against McConnell for not support the release of the report, which 80 percent of Americans want to see. It also puts him in conflict with the president himself.
You can see the tweets below:
So McConnell threatened Obama over alerting Americans to Russian attacks and now he’s blocking the Mueller report release. Between Mitch and Barr, this thing was fixed a long time ago. It’s why Trump never fired Mueller.

Mitch McConnell today: “It is deeply disturbing that the Obama administration was apparently insufficiently prepared to anticipate and counter these Russian threats.”
Mitch McConnell previously: Blocked Obama admin from making a bipartisan statement on Russian election meddling.

As Mitch McConnell blocks the release of the full Mueller report, remember that in Sept. 2016, US intel briefed him on Russia’s interference in our election — but instead of warning voters, he threatened to portray the intelligence as a partisan attack if Obama made it public. https://t.co/XtrGE25ej7

How? We haven’t seen anything but a four page partisan report.
So go fuck yourself for blocking the report to the American people.

After CIA Director John Brennan told Mitch McConnell about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, McConnell responded by saying he wouldn’t sign on to any statements condemning Russian interference — but he would condemn Brennan/the CIA & the Obama admin for coming forward. https://t.co/1FVHd1xoeO

If Trump is innocent, why have Linsdey Graham and Mitch McConnell both blocked efforts to release the Mueller report? If Trump is innocent, why is Barr drawing his own conclusions ignoring Mueller’s inconclusive results?#ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport #ReleaseTheFullReportNOW

I believe NOT ONE WORD from Barr, McConnell, Graham or any of their cohort.
The truth is NOT in what they SAY, it is in what they DO!
Their unwillingness to release the report SAYS EVERYTHING!
We are being railroaded, people.
That is all.

Had to update my bucket list:
-shit on Antonin Scalia’s grave
-shit on Mitch McConnell’s grave— critical thinking is a cop (@UrsulaSee) March 25, 2019
And the fact that Mitch McConnell doesn’t want the full Mueller report released can really only mean one thing: Team Trump doesn’t think they can call it a victory anymore if we see all the evidence. https://t.co/kCjptACdpX

The non-binding resolution to release the full Mueller report was brought forth by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The House version passed unanimously.
Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham are the only senators who objected to the measure.https://t.co/9YFu7Ij3re

Historians will describe McConnell as a villain intent on destroying America’s democracy and values.

Bingo. McConnell seems awfully interested in hiding the Mueller Report. If it exonerates Trump, then why hide it? https://t.co/ljBoIFrlHt

Mueller states his report “does not exonerate” Trump and now the GOP is proving it through their actions:
McConnell just blocked Schumer’s measure to make the report public.
Sorry @GOP, but only 35% of America is made up of Kool-Aid drinking sheep.#ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport

I think Mitch McConnell just told America that his buddy Trump is guilty.#ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport #ReleaseTheFullReport #McConnell
