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

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.
