MCCONNELL SUGGESTS TRUMP LIED, CLAIMS HE NEVER SPOKE TO PRESIDENT ABOUT UKRAINE CALL
Newsweek ^ | Oct 22 2019 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 10/22/2019 1:54:29 PM PDT by rintintin

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested on Tuesday that President Donald Trump had lied about a conversation between them regarding the president's controversial call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Nancy Cordes, the chief congressional correspondent for CBS News, reported on Tuesday that she had pressed McConnell over Trump's assertion that the Republican from Kentucky had told him that his call with Ukraine's president was "perfect" and "innocent." McConnell responded to Cordes by claiming he had never spoken with Trump about the call.

When the journalist asked McConnell if that meant Trump had lied, the Republican lawmaker responded: "You'd have to ask him."

Probably a haunted story in efforts to get Trump to call Mitch. Then they will jump on that as somehow trying to influence the leader of the Senate

Mitch wants to protect his Chinese business interests. He’s willing to throw the senate to the dems so that they can change the rules for voting in secrecy on an impeachment trial, just like a regular jury trial.

Those who have been in Washington for a time... they know the rules, the “committees”, the “bosses”, the way they escape the Constitution, the way they escape the people, and they know the World plans and what to do... what not to do. All allegiances are to be to the World Goals of Power Supreme..
The media knows this.. congress knows this.. other countries know this...
But we elected an individual who does not play by their rules.. and they want him out.. hell with the people’s vote.. they want their power back and the one changing everything.. the one working for the people.. OUT.. they can’t have someone who is a good person.. ‘

And IF.. IF anyone in the know wanted to tell about what he knows.. he does know he’d be done... for the few that will tell... and for the reports coming out.. my hope is still not vanquished.. sessions must have walked into the fire and couldn’t handle it.

If mcconnell is gonna turn on Trump... and they do this.. I hope there is a convoy headed to Washington!!!!!!!!!!!

One more thing.. `I was raised “least said soonest mended”.. sort of thing. The country has gone crazy... men have been feminized and don’t know it.. but they sound like females and they go hogwiled with impeachment over nothing.. they talk about it as if he’s guilty .. He’s not guilty.. they go out every day and talk about things that make no sense.. they work on emotion and take a small incidental thing and make it impeachable.. all day they talk about what I consider childish behavior and from adults who should have grown up.

One more thing again... if obama had gone through the investigation and hits.. if he had been looked over and spied on.. he would have been guilty enough for prison.. to know they found nothing on Trump.. rare indeed.. and they still are going to throw him out.. for their power and control!!!!!!

never thought I’d see this in the United States!

“You’d have to ask him.”

Yes, you’re right. That was a very supportive statement that McConnell made about Trump. Thank you for pointing out how loyal McConnell is. Now I definitely share your trust and faith in him.

“We have a mole here”

So if I point out how McConnell is backstabbing Trump, i’m a mole? Whatever.

what if I report something bad about Romney? Does that make me a double mole?

I’m simply pointing out how a news reporter can twist the statements of anyone they wish in order to promote their personal agenda.

About 80% of your posts are either outright negative or at best neutral toward Trump.

That qualifies you as as a troll.

Swing an miss there dude.

Fieldmarshaldj is perhaps the greatest Romney critic in the entire WORLD! (He is on FR, that’s for sure!).

He didn’t even vote for him or McCain.

Anyway I think comparing McConnell, who has been great on judges, to those 2 is off base.

Well, I voted for Palin, but McQueeg was unfortunately on the same ticket. Had I known he’d survive a decade, I would not have done that.

Willard and Zero’s Butt Boy Lyin’ Ryan was an EASY pass.

I was too easy on Ryan, F that guy. Trump should have tried to force him out early.

I’d have offered Ireland or the Vatican so he could keep some dignity. If he refused then jihad time, a guy who didn’t support the party’s nominee for President can’t be Speaker.
