This book will be published on October 16, and Greg Miller is a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter for Washington Post..The conversation described took place in 2016 before the election. Complete info on this at link below quotes

Here is an quote from the link below...please read.......(this article is from Slate.)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
When Sen. Mitch McConnell was told by then–CIA Director John Brennan before the 2016 election that Vladimir Putin and Russia were attempting to interfere with the goal of assisting Donald Trump, McConnell’s response took him aback, according to Greg Miller, a Washington Post reporter who has just released a book about Putin, Trump, and the election. The majority leader said he wouldn’t sign on to any condemnation of Russia’s actions and that if the administration went public with the intelligence, McConnell would in turn call out Brennan as a partisan intervening on behalf of Hillary Clinton, Miller colorfully revealed in a CNN interview Tuesday.

(another quote from the article, further down)

Jeh Johnson, the secretary of homeland security for the last four years of the Obama administration, describes meetings between top intelligence officials and congressional leadership as well as the heads and ranking members of the intelligence and foreign affairs committees in which they told the lawmakers what the intelligence community knew about Russia’s efforts to influence the election. McConnell “expressed skepticism,” Frontline reported, “and warned that he would not join an effort to publicly challenge Putin.”

personal comment: McConnell was told before the election that Russia was trying to interfere in the election..(Which is exactly what happened, to what extent..we do not know for sure.) Perhaps numbers were changed to favor Trump.??? How it was done we do not know. But I am guessing that the CIA knows, but due to questions of secrecy within the CIA, exactly how this was done cannot be made public.. But to think that McConnell response was that he would attack Brennan and the CIA as.... Hillary supporters .and also, that he would not join in an effort to publically challenge Putin.... is incredible... Why not criticize Putin for trying to interfere in our election??? but McConnell said he would blame Hillary instead....unbelievable !!!!!!!

This book could be very damaging to McConnell....and to see his demise would raise my spirit a whole lot.

3. YOu are correct...."LOCK THEM UP"

..This increases my dislike for McConnell. McConnell would not side with our own information, but the article says that he was going to attack Clinton if this info on possible Russian tampering with the election was made public.

,,,,,,,,,,,Attack Clinton, and not attack the Russians for trying to influence the outcome of an election,,,,,

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Whose side was McConnell on? Well it seems that the Republican Party is more important the some outside country trying to pervert our elections into something illegal and not accurate.
