BREAKING: Allegations Point to Cochran Campaign in Mississippi Senate Vote Buying Scandal
RedState ^ | 6/30/2014 | Aaron Gardner

Posted on 06/30/2014 7:21:24 PM PDT by Viennacon

An audio interview has surfaced in which the interviewee claims that he was to be paid by the Cochran camp to grease voters in the Mississippi GOP Senate runoff election. The audio interview, which coincides with a separate audio recording and batch of evidence produced by the newly launched GotNews.com, a project by Charles C. Johnson, alleges that the Cochran campaign conspired with a Mississippi Reverend to buy the votes of African American voters, who happen to be democrats.

Before I get into the weeds of what is in the audio interview and transcript, which are both below, let me set up the stage a bit. What is alleged to have occurred is illegal and very serious business. Under Mississippi law the alleged crimes could lead to Thad Cochran being removed from the Senate. Everything that follows comes from sources either on the ground in Mississippi, or those working closely with them.

Reverend Fielder has claimed to have evidence that would prove illegal activity took place in the Mississippi GOP Senate run off election. Furthermore, the evidence he claims he has would implicate the Barbour machine and a staffer to Cochran’s Senate campaign. The motivations of the Reverend are not those of a saint. As is made clear throughout the interview and in the transcript, this Reverend is looking to get paid to provide information, just as he sought to get paid to deliver votes by illegal means. Reverend Fielder claims that Cochran’s people were supposed to pay him approximately $15,000 for his efforts, but failed to do so after the incumbent Senator had achieved victory in the run off.

With all of that said, if the evidence is produced and validated, I don’t know how much longer Thad Cochran will be a Senator.

From what I’ve heard, Johnson was very close to the McDaniel campaign, so I would be surprised if they don’t have this.

Thanks for the link. Sent my e-mail to the RNC this morning. It read as follows:

I just want you to know that the despicable deeds pulled off by Thad Cochran and Haley Barbour in the Mississippi Senate race, has done more damage to the Republican Party than you can ever imagine. You are losing your Conservative Base; and they’re taking their donations and votes with them. You may as well resign yourself to the fact that the GOP will NOT gain control of the Senate in November. Conservatives will not vote for the likes of Mitch McConnell, who has vowed to “crush” Conservatives, and Thad Cochran, who admitted doing “indecent” things with farm animals, and now, does “indecent” things at the ballot box. But, remember, all you Republican Establishment “fat-cats”, you brought it on yourself.

The MS GOP will be the ones that will pay the price. Heads will roll, jail time
and a complete revolution in MS.

Propably?

Mitch MConnell raised almost a million dollars for Cochran.
Where do you think the money came from to run those ads
and buy votes.

It wasn’t the tooth fairy.

That’s where I was this morning.

I’m beginning to think something is going to happen, and it might even be an invalidated election.

I laid into them last week in a response to a request for funds, including returning my cut up RNC member card.

So, who will fall on their swords? You know Barbour and Cochran are going to say they didn’t know anything about it and the man offering Fielder money was acting on his own. That won’t save Cochran’s seat but it might save his ass.

Would love to see McConnell implicated in this. The MSM would not ignore that one. They get what they deserve. I can’t stand the establishment GOP

This particular 175 thousand dollars came from the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL SENATORIAL COMMITTEE. And senator roger wicker has stated he’s proud of their actions and involvement. I hope they can take roger’s seat too.

It can go back to the election that called for the run off.

Probably fraud there, too.
