Tom Cole: “I think Robert Mueller has a lifetime of credibility, and let's let him do his job.”

I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don’t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.

It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.

We will engage where it matters, we will invest where it counts, and we will demand accountability for every dollar spent.

The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.
