So seriously, did franken resign? He said he WILL RESIGN

Post by oaktonhokie »

"in the coming weeks."

Anyone know what that means?

I will be 150 years old, "in the coming weeks."

At first i thought he just wanted to be on the payroll until january 1. Maybe get credit for another year of "service" and an increased pension. I have no problem with that.

But i wonder what he meant and when (and if) he'll leave.

It depends on the definition of IS.
It depends on the definition of ALONE.

Mark Levin had a good explanation of this last night.

======================================

Levin: Here’s the Democrats’ ‘sickening, cynical’ Franken scheme
Posted December 07, 2017 07:33 PM by Chris Pandolfo

On Thursday’s radio program, LevinTV host Mark Levin called out the “phony” resignation of Sen. Al Franken and warned that the Democrats are gearing up to flip their position if Roy Moore is elected to the U.S. Senate in Alabama.

“This is one of the most cynical political ploys by the Democrats in the Senate that I’ve seen in a very, very long time,” Levin said.

Levin explained that the rush of Democratic senators who called for Franken’s resignation earlier this week has the mark of a coordinated effort. Further, Franken’s declaration that he would resign “in the coming weeks” is highly suspicious.

“We all know what’s happening here — the Alabama election is on Tuesday. Roy Moore might win,” Levin said.

“If Roy Moore is elected, you’re going to hear the calls for him to resign immediately, which of course he won’t do. Mitch McConnell has already said he’ll go to the Senate Ethics Committee, but you’re gonna hear demands for [Moore's] expulsion and his resignation. And Roy Moore is not going to resign if he’s elected; that’s abundantly clear.”

“So, you’re then gonna start hearing from the Democrats in the Senate and their mouthpieces in the media, ‘Well why should Franken resign? After all, the allegations against Moore are much worse.’”

“This is all a scheme,” Levin said. “A sickening, cynical scheme!”

Having a debate on another board with someone who said that franken said he'll resign in a few weeks, after this session is over.

I said that that is what we are supposed to believe, and it may come to pass that way....but that is not what he said.

He is clearly trying to take the heat off himself and then reassess ... in the coming weeks.

its all tied to the Moore election and the dems have figured out the Mueller waste of tax dollars fun expidition has no shot of getting rid of Trump so once Moore is elected the dems will demand he resign and Trump resign as the dems have done.
