An audio interview has surfaced in which the interviewee claims that he was to be paid by the Cochran camp to grease voters in the Mississippi GOP Senate runoff election. The audio interview, which coincides with a separate audio recording and batch of evidence produced by the newly launched GotNews.com, a project by Charles C. Johnson, alleges that the Cochran campaign conspired with a Mississippi Reverend to buy the votes of African American voters, who happen to be democrats.
Before I get into the weeds of what is in the audio interview and transcript, which are both below, let me set up the stage a bit. What is alleged to have occurred is illegal and very serious business. Under Mississippi law the alleged crimes could lead to Thad Cochran being removed from the Senate. Everything that follows comes from sources either on the ground in Mississippi, or those working closely with them.
Reverend Fielder has claimed to have evidence that would prove illegal activity took place in the Mississippi GOP Senate run off election. Furthermore, the evidence he claims he has would implicate the Barbour machine and a staffer to Cochran’s Senate campaign. The motivations of the Reverend are not those of a saint. As is made clear throughout the interview and in the transcript, this Reverend is looking to get paid to provide information, just as he sought to get paid to deliver votes by illegal means. Reverend Fielder claims that Cochran’s people were supposed to pay him approximately $15,000 for his efforts, but failed to do so after the incumbent Senator had achieved victory in the run off.
With all of that said, if the evidence is produced and validated, I don’t know how much longer Thad Cochran will be a Senator.
Boyle at Breitbart picked it up
Yep.
The man is a CONGRESSIONAL STAFFER that was the go between:

I know that, I’m informing Freepers that breitbart’s Mathew Boyle has the story up
is this the last, last straw for republican voters? i hope so. we need our third (i know “second”) party. if the remnant of rep and libertarian voters what to join our conservative USIP party down the line. fine.
That was an interesting interview. Do you know who was doing the interview? It wasn’t Charles Johnson, although he does pipe in with a few questions near the end.
Wow! Cochran is finished. And Wicker’s staff involved as well? Holy smokes!
Spread this story to everyone you know, folks!!!
Let’s get this on Drudge tonight!
What bothers me most about this, is that the Left tries to lay it off that we’re the ones committing voter fraud each general election. Of course, we know they are the ones doing it wholesale.
Not Cochran’s campaign does it, gets caught at it, and proves the Democrats main talking point right.
And the RNC, the GOPe, John McCan and all the other Republican traitors think it’s a real hoot.
The Republican party, the party of Lincoln, is dead.
It has been completely destroyed by those left with the duty to protect it’s reputation and do what was right.
Ronald Reagan would go after these people with a vengeance.
All, please read and think about post 68.
Thanks.
BOHICA
People are asleep. I am content for Drudge to make it top of the pile tomorrow morning. I can imagine Barbour checking his inbox, full of emails from the worried cr*ptards on Capitol Hill.
John Thune: Awwww nawwws! Did you see Drudge?
Mitch McConnell: Haley you idiot! You exposed me!
Lisa Murcowski: You should have been careful like me!
Thad Cochran: Fbchcbye*^T%#bdho
Some FReeper could come up with a good Photoshopped Facebook page like that!
lol
Admittedly these are just blogs, Saleem does not have a great reputation.

“Thad Cochran: Fbchcbye*^T%#bdho”
That’s way too coherent for Cochran. HA!
The story is spreading. Breitbart has posted it as their top story. I’ve emailed the Blaze, Hannity, Rush, RedState.
RedState has it. The other three sites I want to get it frontpaged on are Daily Caller, WND, and of course Drudge. Then it’ll be a royal flush.
Rush and Hannity have a habit of ignoring this stuff until someone gets arrested . Mark Levin however, will likely explode about it, which is why I wanted it on GatewayPundit specifically to cover it (they have). Levin often reads that site for his news updates.
Levin will see it on Brian’s RightScoop
Reverend Stevie Fielder
* associate pastor at First Union Missionary Baptist Church
* former official at Meridian’s redevelopment agency
* claims he delivered “hundreds or even thousands,” of blacks to the polls after being offered money and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist.
Saleem Baird
* a staffer with the Cochran campaign
* current legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker
Kirk Sims
* U.S. Senator Cochran's campaign manager
a woman named "Amanda" with the campaign,
* most likely Amanda Shook, director of operations to re-elect Thad Cochran.
Text messages released to Got News and a recorded interview with Reverend Fielder confirmed that Saleem Baird and Kirk Sims were involved in a $15 per vote cash bribery scheme to target members of the black community.
Evidence seems to implicate the Barbour machine and a staffer to Cochran’s Senate campaign
“Well I mean, you know I told you, I brought some information to the table. And he don’t have a big window, cuz I know at 5, I’m supposed to meet ah, them, some of em was claiming from out of town some kind of way. I don’t know a johnny barbour, some barbour guy, you know em?”In addition to Baird, Fielder says he spoke with Kirk Sims, the Cochran campaign manager, and a woman named "Amanda" with the campaign, most likely Amanda Shook, director of operations to re-elect Thad Cochran. All refused to pay him the agreed upon amount of $16,000.
Sims is also Cochran’s son in law.
I can’t keep up with developments!
If the campaign manager is involved... that implicates the candidate.
They can’t claim this was a ‘rogue guy’ and they were unaware of what he did.
Mention Wicker in your list. Saleem works for Wicker as a staffer.
So we have a paid U.S. Senator staffer acting as cash bag man to payoff blacks for votes for a Republican U.S. Senator.
