Both McConnell and Ryan were involved with this Russian/Turmp coup too.

[Botany]

How did McConnell know if he waited until after the election he would have
somebody else to vote for for SCOTUS?

Paul Ryan & Republican Establishment Used Hacked Info From Russia Against Democrats:

Let's not forget that a super PAC tied to Paul Ryan used material provided by Russia's hacking of the DNC and DCCC.

It was known that Russia had stolen material from the DNC and DCCC and a Paul Ryan Super PAC and as well as other Republican groups used it.

It wasn't just Hillary Clinton being attacked. It wasn't just Trump benefiting. There's potentially more collusion than just that between Trump's team and Russia.

****************

BTW both Sessions and Pence are up to their eyeballs in this crap too. I have some questions about Chaffitz too.

It was a coup and we had treason.

1. And there was a nice spot for his wife in Trump's cabinet

[Botany]

2. nice catch!

Coup, treason, and nepotism.

Not only did HRC win the election but God only knows how many senate and
house seats stayed on went repug because of Russian help too.

4. How do we fight this though?

5. How did McConnell know if he waited until after the election he would have somebody else

THIS. I remember his smug look when he was talking about the next president nominating the next SC justice and being completely confused at the time, wondering why he'd want Hillary to choose that person.

Sometime after the election, I recalled it and felt a chill spread through my body. HE KNEW Trump would be president.

HE KNEW and he is a criminal.

6. I hate to say what I would like to do to McConnell.

The man is a traitor to America, worked to try to make millions of America to
suffer economically so they would take their anger out on President Obama,
and refused to do his Constitutionally mandated duty in giving a vote to the
President's choice for SCOTUS.

and welcome to DU TeapotInATempest

7. He really is loathsome.

And thanks for the welcome.

8. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan need to be taken down for this.

And I'd like to see their bosses, the Koch Brothers, hauled away in chains as well.

[ffr]

9. I'm in a complete state of numbness. This is actually happening to our country at this instant

Republicans draping themselves in the Russian flag, covering up for for criminal actions against the United States and the rest of us in a complete state of shock.

[Botany]

10. Being numb is OK but then get mad and then get busy

Spread the word that it wasn't just Trump and company but that McConnell,
Ryan, and others were involved too.

[ffr]

12. Without a doubt. And it's about Treasury looking into tRump's Russian money laundering

through Deutsche Bank of Cyprus, and tRump's Wilbur Ross!

13. New Yorker: Team Trump built a hotel in Azerbaijan to launder money for oil oligarchs and

the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

11. Don't forget that weasel Nunes

who has suddenly disappeared out of the news!

[ffr]

14. Or it's the avalanche of cover-up news hitting the airwaves and Nunes part is burried

just not forgotten.

[Blaukraut]

15. If there is any evidence of that, Feinstein and Schiff et al MUST go public with that info

In a way that won't compromise classified info. Go on any TV show that will have them and unequivocally state that McConnell and Ryan are complicit and involved. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

16. from the article you linked...

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/politics/house-democrats-hacking-dccc.html?_r=0&referer=



....After the first political advertisement appeared using the hacked material, Mr. Luján wrote a letter to his Republican counterpart at the National Republican Congressional Committee urging him to not use this stolen material in the 2016 campaign.

“The N.R.C.C.’s use of documents stolen by the Russians plays right into the hands of one of the United States’ most dangerous adversaries,” Mr. Luján’s Aug. 29 letter said. “Put simply, if this action continues, the N.R.C.C. will be complicit in aiding the Russian government in its effort to influence American elections.”

Representative Ben Ray Luján, Democrat of New Mexico and chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, was targeted by Guccifer 2.0 even though he faced no serious challenger.
Bill Clark / CQ Roll Call, via Associated Press

Ms. Pelosi sent a similar letter in early September to Mr. Ryan. Neither received a response. By October, the Congressional Leadership Fund, a “super PAC” tied to Mr. Ryan, had used the stolen material in another advertisement, attacking Mr. Garcia during the general election in Florida..................

17. The GOP knew what was going on!

We could see it all over the "fake news". Every time Trump has said or done something outlandish, the wing nuts would cover for him, by saying he is better than Hillary! Well now, it is a cat chasing its tail, going in circles!
