Mitch McConnell threatened Trump with conviction if he pardoned Julian Assange

Tucker Carlson said that the Senate GOP, specifically Mitch McConnell "has sent word over to the WH: if you pardon Julian Assange, we are much more likely to convict you in an impeachment trial."

[RandFan]

This is shocking. McConnell needs to go!

[Dacula]

Scorched Earth.

[frogjerk]

What trial and when?

[JoSixChip]

Do it! screw mcconnell and any gop scum that votes to impeach. Trump is not going to run again anyway, they would never let him win.

[Major Matt Mason]

McConnell may as well switch parties. His name will be mud with GOP voters, and he seems to be a closet Democrat, anyway.

[dljordan]

” McConnell needs to go!”

The only way he’s going is feet first.

[Williams]

Every discussion about convicting Trump is for some improper purpose like this, or “ridding” the post of him.

No respect for people who would do that much damage to the Constitution.

[odawg]

Blackmail.

[Williams]

Ridding the party of him.

Totally improper.

I’m convinced this capitol fiasco is a RussiaGate redux. Create a fake crime that implicates Trump and use it to motivate him to behave a certain way.

[philippa]

What’s really shocking is that he made it public. He is really frightened.

[Sarah Barracuda]

If true, McConnell should be impeached, its a quid pro quo, its straight up blackmail, if sh*thole Schiff drafted the papers Id support it

[Jamestown1630]

I’ve never made my mind up at all about Assange, or Snowden for that matter. What they both did disturbs me on certain levels.

But lately I’ve really wondered in whose pocket McConnell lives.

[metmom]

I figured Trump was being blackmailed.

His actions the last couple weeks said that he had something being held over his head.

[Fester Chugabrew]

He won’t be able to put up much of a fight when arrested. The question is how severe will be the penalty for high treason.

[bigbob]

What do you mean, he’s the co-leader of the Uniparty.

[AFB-XYZ]

McConnell needs to go!

Straight to Hell.

[Diogenesis]

hopefully, McConnell will be caught for his TREASON
and pay in full. Conservative Americans will CHEER.

[fireman15]

This is shocking. McConnell needs to go!

Disgusting yes! Shocking no. Assange exposed the deep state of which McConnel is most definitely a part of. The only thing surprising to me is that President Trump didn't do it anyway just to spite the evil idiots.

[bray]

It is absolutely blackmail and should resign over it.
