With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era.
After the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol, McConnell issued a grave rebuke of Trump’s behavior, blaming the defeated president for spreading “wild” claims of a stolen election.
While McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.
Because their Russian boss would not have liked that.
I don’t believe McConnell is or has ever been a Russian asset. He’s evil all on his own and doesn’t need further incentive.
Didn’t some Russian Corp invest in a huge steel or metals facility in KY?
You mean the russian oligarch who gave kentucky millions for a new plant? Yes.
“Probably a coincidence.”
In Louisiana we call that lagniappe. Mitch gonna fuck about no matter what. Who pays him off is tertiary to him staying in power and getting paid.
A Russian asset is someone who’s beholden to the Kremlin. Mitch is only beholden to his own self-interests.

That’s just people coming up with fun nicknames. Deep down, he’s always been the same guy…Evil Turtle.
Russian bribes.
Disagree. If you go by what his actions are and whether or not they serve the agenda of Putin, you eventually come to realize there’s virtually none that specifically go against him.
He waves the flag, and sings the standard russia Bad songs when he has to.
Moscow Mitch will always be known for choosing trump over informing the country of russia’s obvious and detailed interference in the 2016 election. On that alone, George Washington would have shot him.
Yep. I think his goals align with Russias’ sometimes. That’s it.
It’s not corruption if you take money for something you would have done anyway. But it’s a nice bonus.
Moscow mitch, putins bitch
He’s not just a Russian asset, the Chinese also have enormous amounts of leverage over him through his wife and late sister-in-law.
