""BREAKING: @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell To Surrender FCC To Dems In Trade To Get His Own #NeverTrump Staffer On FERC""
Multiple DC sources have confirmed to GotNews that an effort to give Democrats control of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for months into Trumps presidency is actually being led by Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell himself.
McConnell has reached an agreement with President Barack Obama and Democratic Senator Harry Reid to trade away control of the FCC for in exchange for confirmation of his own staffer, Neil Chatterjee, to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
The FCC has vast jurisdiction over the Internet, television, and radio. It is one of the most powerful federal agencies. So why would Mitch McConnell give it away by agreeing to reconfirm Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel even though Democrats already control two of the other five seats well into next year?
(Excerpt) Read more at gotnews.com ...
McConnell and Ryan CAN NOT be in leadership positions.
“Firebrand Republican senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Friday rushed across a line rarely crossed on the Senate floor: He accused the leader of his party, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, of lying to his colleagues.”

For all the Ted Cruz haters here. Ted is right.
Chin up. Trump has the momentum right now and he clearly has a mandate for republicrats. They care about survival more than anything else outside of the the few like Grahamnesty and McPain. I expect Trump to hit the capital like a Tasmanian devil on meth!
We won’t get tired of winning!
Judging reporters by appearance won’t get you very far.
Takes on to know one.
Umm, yeah, Charles Johnson looks legit...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Is this the turtle’s favorite Buttboy?
Tat, Bob, is the $64 question.
When a ‘conservative’ source looks like he should be screaming ‘NOT MY PRESIDENT!!!’, I’m sceptical.
DJT should shut down the FCC.
Shut it down along with 95% of the rest of the Fed Gov’t.
Problem solved.
McConnell, Ryan, McCain, Graham.... long track records the always turn from “bad” to “worse”.
Recall that slug in a special election and ban FCC. Problem solved.
“Umm, yeah, Charles Johnson looks legit... “
He is VERY legit.......I have read his work for several years now. He was the one the found out Sen Thad Cochran was paying democrats to cross over and vote for him against is opponent ...along with a ton of other breaking news stories
trump is going to crush mcconnell. no one is used to dealing with him.
Charles Johnson is the real deal.
To answer the question we take down the UniParty.
Below is possibly another example of the UniParty or newer classification of a “swamp thing” at work. And they still have a few more days in session to make bad things happen in a bill. Unfortunately, sometimes what is plausible but seemingly unlikely really does become a bill and later a law. Remember the “Gang of 8” made attempts like this.
“...Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is preparing a bill that would allow some illegal immigrants who were granted legal status via one of Obamas executive orders to stay in the country permanently. Graham hopes to place the bill on the floor during the next Congress. If President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised to repeal Obamas executive orders regarding immigration, does not get on board with the bill, Graham would need to build enough support to override a potential veto....”
He used to be an editor at Breitbart and has broken some important stories but been wrong a few times, also. One of his memorable hits was thad cochran paying black voters to vote for him ... then it went from there.
Charles Johnson is the real deal.
So if Johnson is the real deal and this is happening with McConnell selling us out on the FCC like he did on the Protect Internet Freedom Bill, what do we do?
Start calling?
Contact Trump?
Remember that alisa Machado who accused trump of fat shaming her? charlie johnson was the first to break the story about her driving the getaway car in a murder case which was later carried by the msm, and caused her to quiet down. He also did some good research on Michelle Fields ... he has been wrong a few times, or partly so, in my memory.
