The Bloom Is Off The Ruse – Report: McConnell Planning Early Exit Before Term Concludes
cth ^ | 3/4/21 | sundance

The Intercept is reporting on something CTH predicted after the 2020 election, Mitch McConnell is working with Kentucky legislature to plan his departure before the end of his term.

This is not a surprise. McConnell is fully exposed now; people can finally see through his schemes and understand his motives and maneuvers.

(Via The Intercept) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has compiled a short list of successors in his home state of Kentucky, preparing for the possibility that he does not serve out his full term, Kentucky Republicans tell The Intercept.

The list is topped by his protégé, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and also includes former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft, whose billionaire coal magnate husband is a major McConnell donor, as well as Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, a former McConnell Scholar.

Under current law, the power to appoint McConnell’s replacement falls to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. But new legislation McConnell is pushing in the Kentucky General Assembly would strip the governor of that power and put it into the hands of the state GOP. (read more)

Think about it. He may know something all the experts on FR don't.

If I had the check waiting for me that McConnell has, I’d be out the door, too.

His work in the Swamp is done. It's time to kick back with a half-dozen very young cabana boys and enjoy life!

IF “The Turtle” DOES resign his seat, I truly HOPE that a TRUMP SUPPORTER replaces him instead of a “cooperator”/RINO.

ANYBODY the Mitch suggest should NOT be trusted by the voters of KY to represent them, rather than the Chamber of Commerce, the LOBBYISTS with their sacks of CASH from 14th Street & every SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP, too.

IF I had my way, OFFERING, SOLICTING or ACCEPTING anything “of value” from a paid lobbyist would be PROHIBITED & a FELONY for both parties involved.
(I would not allow a lobbyist to even buy a member of Congress a cheeseburger & fries.)

JUST MY OPINION, ex-cadet

It only takes one FR expert to tell the “something”

It’s your job to decide which one:)
