MITCH McCONNELL DOUBLES DOWN: GOP Senate Leader Now Attacking Trump in Wall Street Journal OpEd – Pushes Criminal Charges

Republican leader Mitch McConnell trashed President Trump following his second acquittal Saturday by the US Senate.

McConnell brutally trashed President Trump following his acquittal.

McConnell and the GOP elites (GOPe) worked against President Trump for years preventing him from passing his wildly popular agenda to protect America, its workers, and its citizens.

As reported earlier, McConnell did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the election.”

He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”

And then Mitch McConnell suggested that President Trump can still be charged in the criminal justice system!

How can any thinking person believe Biden won that election?

Yes, he could get indicted, I just meant it's unlikely he'd be convicted.

The Democrats are going to have to ask themselves, is going after Trump actually a smart way to use their time and energy? Because, with control of all the presidency and Congress they could be working on achieving a lot of their other goals. It seems to me, purely from a practical angle, spending their time going after Trump isn't a smart use of their time and energy.

When the Democrats took over Congress in 2007, and when Obama later became president, a lot of Democrat voters wanted them to go after Bush. I think Pelosi realized it wasn't worth it.

My thoughts, too.

Trump has something on McConnell. It might not be little girls / boys, but it’s something.

President Trump - GO GET HIM!!!

It’s definitely time to put this old horse out to pasture.

Traitor is the operative word ! The GOP establishment has no core beliefs other than that the american people are to stupid to wipe flush wash hands when they use the toilet! This was the DNC position way back in the 80’s now they view Americans not in lockstep with the DNC are considered by Democrats as enemies of all humanity & Republicans belong in concentration camps!

The Turtle is making noise because he knows when the truth comes out, it will be found he and Pelosi were both aware of the threat to the Capital and chose to do nothing.

When that happens, he stands a good chance to lose his minority leader position and become more irrelevant than he already is.

The turtle is hoping to dodge any further inquiry into what really happened on Jan 6th.

The Chinese are the biggest exterminators of endangered species in the world. If you want to view rare species, don't waste your time thrashing through jungle fronds; go to the Chinese live market.

Just put McConnell out in the Chinese wet market. Let them deal with the Turtle as they do with all those endangered species.

The crime is election fraud, not complaining about it.

Great comment and exactly spot on. I would bet you are a treehouse reader because they make exactly the same points.

There’s only one reason Mitch McConnell wants President Trump out of the political picture, Mitch and his wife are up to their eyeballs in CCP crimes. This is the same reason the other DC Trump haters want him out.

I’m starting to think someone has pictures of McConnell doing Biden like things with children. The SOB has lost his mind.

Either they have something on him or they are paying him untold amounts of money.

It is not that complicated.

His wife and her entire family are in a very precarious spot with the Chinese government expecting them to manage our affairs with China to China’s advantage.

In other words, very very big money, the kind of money that is beyond the understanding of the ordinary man.

“And then Mitch McConnell suggested that President Trump can still be charged in the criminal justice system!”

This must part of Mitch’s announced plan to unite Republican voters and “win back the House and Senate.”

Once Mitch and his guys take control they promise to repeal and replace.

A third party can’t win.

So if given a choice of Trump as MAGA candidate, Romney as the GOP candidate and Harris as the Democrat candidate who would you vote for?

“Why do people bother to stay with the GOP? They hate you more than the Dems do.”

My gut tells me to unregister as an R.

However, I plan to wait and see what President Trump does. If he stays with the party I will too. If he leaves; I leave.

There is still a chance - a small one I admit - that we can oust the Rockefeller Republicans and elect another Reagan.

Or another Trump.

Donald Trump demonstrated that the political class in washington DC is EVIL and CORRUPT. They hate him for exposing their corruption. They Hate him like No Other and they seek to destroy him for betraying their caste. The malicious prosecution will not end.
