Mitch McConnell: “Edward Snowden's treasonous betrayal of the United States and its most sensitive lawful intelligence activities…”

Part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work.

As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won't be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet.

I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

I'm still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors' orders.
