BREAKING: Allegations Point to Cochran Campaign in Mississippi Senate Vote Buying Scandal
RedState ^ | 6/30/2014 | Aaron Gardner

Posted on 06/30/2014 7:21:24 PM PDT by Viennacon

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.

Your link has probably caused much worry in DC. I salute you. Please continue to spam these threads with the link. I put it to good use.

Which is why some local GOP people I have talked to want this to go away.

I don’t. If we can’t police our own, then we can’t point out the issues with the other side.

the Republican Party...is dead....

You know what's heartbreaking? Constitutional conservatives created this situation with a few decades of voting for "the lesser of two evils".

I've stated this a few times: I no longer want a Republican majority in the US Senate. Having the likes of McCain, Cochran, McDonnell, Murkowki, Flake, Ayotte etc etc being the majority of anything scares me.

I am not worried. The Left will get no traction with this because they know it was their network that Cochran utilized to carry out the fraud.

We will take down Cochran and look clean afterwards. And we will not stop with Cochran until we clean the entire roster.

After all is said and done the Tea Party Republicans are going to be the most trustworthy political movement in the nation.

After this scandal the Tea Party Republican Senators have an opportunity to be in control of the majority in the Senate.

That’s what I want to see.

You will know this story has legs when (and if) it shows up as a HEADLINE on Drudge.

It is interesting that Senator Wicker rhymes with wicked and then there is the rhyme of cockroach with Cochran.

[Wicker is implicated in this mess because of his legislative aide Saleem Baird - which you may be aware of.]

It is all about the good ole boys club. They don’t care which party you are from as long as you are an incumbent that has been corrupted to being in league with the powers to be. That is why the likes of McCain and others defend dims and visa-versa, keep the status quo.

Maybe you can connect the dots for me—why is gerrymandering responsible for vote buying?


Because it sets up a system to manipulate votes..
A dishonest system... a comb-over.. a Toupe’...
It’s political cross-dressing... you know Queer..

and it’s unconsitutional besides...

I”m not for gerrymandering, but I still don’t see the connection to vote-buying.
