REPORT: Mitch McConnell Camp Planted Roy Moore Story To Clear Path For Trump Impeachment Attempt

>I’m no fan of Mitch McConnell but I’m not buying this conspiracy theory for a second.

Which part of the conspiracy theory, that McConnell conspired to plant the story or that McConnell conspired to lay the foundation for impeachment conviction in the Senate?

For the former, I remind you that McConnell had his cadre ready to denounce Moore within one hour of the Washington Post publishing the story. I can't recall seeing McConnell ever move that fast on anything else.

For the latter, I too have my doubts. I would say, however, that McConnell has been embroiled in a tug-of-war with Trump with each side winning small victories: McConnell is not helping Trump with his agenda (repealing Obamacare, funding the wall, DACA, tax reform, Senate investigations), but Trump is winning on judges, elections, and popularity).

It's not a stretch to say that, at some point, McConnell will up the ante, and perhaps go all in on a final putsch.

The basic premise here is B.S. There are so many holes in it, it’s embarrassing that anyone would publish such a ridiculous narrative.

Apparently they haven’t read PSALM 2.

So a completely unsourced conspiracy theory from a random troll is now a “report”.

Agreed, a lot of people have said McConnell from the start but I wonder, why didn't whomever did this, do it during the Republican primary when Moore's competition was Mo Brooks and Luther Strange or the runoff with just Strange as an opponent.

What exactly have McConnel, Ryan, McCain, Graham, Collins or King done to avidly support Trump? Each has done far more destructively to the Republican Party (and Trump than constructively. Each have aligned themselves far more often with democrats than republicans.

" He’s not smart enough to lead a conspiracy. Additionally, his inability to pass anything will lead to his loss of the majority in 2018, not an impeachment trial."

I actually think Mcconnel wants the democrat to win the seat just to get the senate one seat closer to a dem majority thus halting Trumps agenda until the next election where Mcconnel would do everything possible to make sure President Trump loses.

I buy it because of Mississippi. Senate Leadership Committee had to hide their faces coming out of the meeting where they approved $ to smear McDaniel, it was election theft, pure and simple.

And, they’d tried it in the 1st primary with a fake story that McDaniel snuck into Cochran’s wife’s room at nursing home and filmed her in a catatonic state.

GOP establishment has been running country with Dems, pray they go down.

The Birmingham News has been on a rampage against Judge Roy Moore for many years, especially since their alleged lesbian editor took over as the main editor for the 3 largest newspapers in the state of Alabama and Judge Moore came out against sodomite marriage.

I've met her and she is VERY butch.

Kyle Whitmire is an effete "columnist" there (though he's married) and he's written with more vitriol against Judge Moore than anyone, with the possible exception of John "I forgot I declared bankruptcy and I've got a gay brother" Archibald.

They hate Judge Moore and they have made it clear that they do.

Their jobs are also dependent on pleasing their editor. Those 3 papers are owned by Advance and they have laid off over 40% of their employees in the past few years and now only print 3 days a week.

So you have lesbians and leftists calling the shots and maybe a couple of people who are afraid to speak out in fear of losing their jobs.

But this is a hate campaign of the highest order.

Watching this makes me believe this woman is an imposter, an actress she is not creditable with her accusations...she sounds like she is reading from a script..if this is the case, it is the most disgusting dirty tricks...

[my small voice]

I have been saying this for years and I believe your comment is, sadly, spot on.

A year ago, a good friend told me that “Trump will be removed. If not by legal means by other means”.

The Deep State does not want Trump.

If this ploy fails, it may end up being more extreme means.

My first thought
Fake news.

He’s not smart enough to lead a conspiracy. Additionally, his inability to pass anything will lead to his loss of the majority in 2018, not an impeachment trial.

..................

Actually, his loss will accelerate and empower the dims to impeach...in the meantime, he is giving Mueller time to collect the data so it can be served up on a plate

Conservatives must beware of the *techniques* of perfidy done by liberal Republicans. Let me cite a clear example of the danger.

For years, the Texas House of Representatives had a rotten deal going on. While Republicans outnumbered Democrats, a liberal RINO remained the speaker of the house. Surrounded by a small group of liberal Republicans from the big cities, every year he would be elected speaker by just this small number of liberal Republicans, as well as *all* the Democrats.

Then he used his position to stop all the changes that conservatives wanted. Gun liberty, abortion restrictions, budgetary controls, etc., etc. Down the line he did everything the Democrats wanted.

I mention this technique because it is *how* Ryan and McConnell will try to impeach and convict President Trump.

First, in the House, Ryan only needs a simple majority to impeach. Currently there are 240 Republicans and 194 Democrats, plus one vacant seat. So it is very unlikely that enough Republicans would vote to impeach. Unless, in the next election, the GOP “throws the election”, to replace so many Republicans with Democrats that a small number of liberal establishment Republicans can join with the Democrats to impeach.

The Senate, however, needs 2/3rds of the Senators to vote to convict. 67. Not easy to get. So it is far more likely that McConnell will be satisfied with just impeachment, then using it to strip President Trump of much of his power.

In this way, protecting the establishment status quo.

The House has passed bills over and over. I’m not blaming them.

I’m no fan of Mitch McConnell but I’m not buying this conspiracy theory for a second.

How many things have people said that sounded like crazy conspiracies, actually turn out to be true?

Well, no so “secret” any more. Totally exposed. Put him in the swamp drain...

“Democrats will be the net losers from this.”

NO, the GOPe will be the “net losers!” In this particular battle, the RATs don’t really matter.

So, are you enjoying your new status? LOL! I've pretty much embraced it myself. 👻
