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.

This particular 175 thousand dollars came from the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL SENATORIAL COMMITTEE.

You watch. Some idiot will find a way to blame Ted Cruz for this.

The GOP matched the DNC in RomneyCARE.

And in treason helping the Enemy.

And now in Election Fraud.

There is a reason the GOP is the Give Obama Power party.

The GOP is as evil as the DNC.

Question then; Is how deep does it go?...

One State.. many States..(most)ALL STATES?...
For sure this happened in federal elections..
WHY ? NOT.... State and local elections..

It’s happening for a long time too in certain districts..
Whole States in some places.. maybe many places..

Gerrymandering is the virus that feeds voter supression.. i.e. voter fraud..

It IS NOT NEW.... The public has the voting table mannars of a pig at the trough..

To Wit; Obama is punishment to the United States.. they(we) deserve Obama..
.............The republican party is indeed a Trojan Horse.. a hard rain is gonna fall..

every state to some degree. Watch Ohio defund the Brat campaign just like what was done in Virginia with Cuccinelli

We all know this goes to the top, probably McConnell.

Best case scenario the campaign manager takes a fall.

The same Saleem?

The DJT previously reported that Saleem Baird, aide to Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker, held an interest in the Level 3 thug bar in downtown Jackson. We have known for some time that the Level 3 was a nuisance, raising hell and discharging firearms into the wee hours of the morning. Considering this history, the DJT was not exactly shocked when Kingfish reported last week that Saleem Baird was arrested by JPD Vice for running an illegal strip joint at the Level 3. Officers also arrested two of Saleem Baird's butt-naked strippers for violating the City of Jackson's adult entertainment regulations.

I am sure they are on it. They need to depose the people involved, put them under oath, sign and seal for court papers.

They won’t get assistance from state republican leaders but they will get assistance from democrat party leaders.

Can you see the irony?

Cochran goes all in on getting the street dems to vote for him in exchange for walking around money.

McDaniel gets support from dem leaders who wish to see Barbour’s gang hung from the nearest trees.

The result is McDaniel will win and the dems may pickup a governor seat.

Man oh man, takes about a few hours to get over and stand at the voting booth and vote. For $15? That’s less than minimum wage!
