Mitch McConnell Should Explain Why He Obscured Russian Interference In Our Election

[Ponietz]

From the Lexington Herald Leader’s editors—glad to see this sulfurous bastard getting called to account in one of Kentucky’s top newspapers.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell should explain why he blocked a bipartisan denunciation of Russian interference in our election before voters went to the polls.

Americans deserve to hear why McConnell did not trust them with the evidence that he and 11 other congressional leaders received in a confidential briefing in September.

The Washington Post reports that during that briefing McConnell “made clear to the administration that he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.”

2. He should also explain why he blocked President Obama's lawful appointment

of Merrick Garland to the SCOTUS and held the position open until a corrupt Kremlin stooge could be installed in the oval office.

8. Because he KNEW the fix was in. What needs to be found

Is the communications chain (manafort/McConnell, stone/mcconell, etc) that proves it.

It's out there somewhere, I promise.

9. I'm pretty sure that the same parties who hacked the Democrats' e-mail

also hacked the Republicans', and that they know they will have plenty of dirt exposed if they don't fall in line.

12. "Because he KNEW the fix was in."

3. Moscow Mitch has quite a bit of explaining to do....

(He voted to remove Russian sanctions on Putin's BFF Oleg Deripaska.) Rusal, the aluminum company partially owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, announced plans to invest around $200 million to build a new aluminum plant in Kentucky just months after the Trump administration removed it from the U.S. sanctions list.

4. It's time to turn up the heat on MM

How about a House investigation into his corruption and that of his wife?

Or major news reporting on that?

5. The Russian interference is incontrovertible

This domino could fall with enough pressure

6. Comrade Mitch Has a Lot of 'Splaining to Do!

[Volaris]

7. Because he knew hed go to prison for money laundrying if the congress

investigated Russian interference in our election.

[Amaryllis]

10. Wasnt that he didnt trust the voters; it was that he DID and didnt want them to know becasue

he was protecting his own interests and that of the GOP.
