McConnell Camp Planted Roy Moore Story To Help Clear Path For Trump Impeachment Attempt In 2018
2017-11-20
[DCWHISPERS] What a disgusting cesspool of self-serving corruption is the nation’s capital and no better example of that can be found today than Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell who, according to longtime political activist, Ned Ryun, was a primary source of the anti-Roy Moore stories that are now attempting to sway the upcoming Alabama special election and help clear the path for a Trump impeachment attempt in 2018.

"...I strongly suspect it’s a very short list of people, all who are associated with Mitch McConnell ‐ whether it’s Josh Holmes, whether it’s Karl Rove, might even be Steven Law ‐ I don’t know, but I strongly, strongly suspect
So he does not actually know with the certainty expressed in the headline. Got it.
somebody out of the McConnell camp planted the story. It was planted. This came with the blessing of Mitch McConnell at some point, that he was going to take a political shot at Roy Moore."

According to whispers, it wasn’t just taking "political shot" at Moore that motivating the McConnell camp. They want Roy Moore out of the way and replaced with someone of McConnell’s choosing, or even Moore’s Democrat opponent, Doug Jones, a man whose career is linked to the Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is...
administration. Moore would be a vehement defender of POTUS Trump and his policies. If McConnell is to succeed in laying the groundwork for an impeachment trial and vote in the Senate, he will need fewer senators like Roy Moore to contend with.

McConnell is said to know actual impeachment proceedings remain a distant possibility, (the Paul Ryan
...Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies...

The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read...
, the ongoing troubles to pass tax cuts, and the number of Republican senators who continue to openly speak out against the President.

The motivation to go after Trump is there. What is left is a simple matter of numbers. Getting rid of a Roy Moore and replacing him with an anti-Trump senator would give McConnell that much more leverage to make his desire to eliminate Trump and restore Establishment control a reality.

Take with grain of salt. Tragically, it might be true.

#9  Impeachment is just red meat for the zealots. It didn't remove Clinton from office and it wouldn't remove Trump from office. In fact it made Clinton's favorables go up so the left should consider that before they make a martyr of a fairly popular president despite constant attacks.

#8  Well, Mr. Trump has probably lost the "shoplifting is no big deal" vote.

#5  Unless Washington is more screwed up and Byzantine than anyone can imagine.

It's not penicillin, but I think you may have discovered something.

#4  Why would McConnell plant this story? After all, his wife is Elaine Chou, Trump's Secretary of Transportation? Unless Washington is more screwed up and Byzantine than anyone can imagine.

#3  Impeachment is a political action; not a legal one. Amazing that the Senators who didn't have the backbone to impeach someone who deserved it (Bill Clinton) are now thinking about making up impeachable offences!

#1  Mitch McConnell may be a lot of things but not this.
