a hearing, could McConnell have known then that the fix was in? He knew exactly how they were going to do it and who was going to do it. He knew the States that would be involved and the various State precincts that would be involved...Hell yes he knew
Just like 2000 and 2004 it took advance planning and early action.
The Russians were giving huge sums of money to Republican PAC's do you think he knew? Hell yes he did
and what about Graham, think he knew that his PAC had received over $800,000 from Russian Oligarchs that were tied to Putin? Hell yes he knew
Are we to think next year that if another SCOTUS Associate is nominated by Trump that McConnell will put that nomination on hold....Hell No he wont. He will run it through using a hundred different excuses knowing that he has the SCOTUS to back him up.
