Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell declined to comment on the FBI raid of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home during a press conference in his home state of Kentucky following floods that recently hit the eastern part of his state.
"I'm here to talk about the flood and recovery from the flood," McConnell said when asked about the raid.
Hours later, McConnell’s office released the following statement
“The country deserves a thorough and immediate explanation of what led to the events of Monday. Attorney General Garland and the Department of Justice should already have provided answers to the American people and must do so immediately.”
The statement was obviously perfunctory perhaps released after pressure from the MAGA wing of the GOP.
Clearly, McConnell despises Trump and the MAGA movement and would love to see all of it brought to an end so they can go back to business as usual i.e. deceiving the public that there is a two-party system when it is actually only one that loyally serves and profits off the Washington Establishment.
McConnell’s wife, Elaine Lan Chao is from a family that has extensive business interests in China and close ties with Chinese elites. Chao was appointed Secretary of Transportation by President Trump. There were reports that she used her office to promote her family’s shipping business, even trying to include family members in high-level meetings with Chinese government officials. There were allegations that Chaos boosted her husband‘s political fortunes by showering attention and grant money on McConnell’s constituents and prominent Kentucky supporters.
But the Biden administration’s FBI will never ever conduct raids of their homes or offices. There won’t even be a preliminary investigation into these connections. In exchange, McConnell attacks Trump and remains mum about Hunter Biden’s shady businesses. This is how Washinton D.C, operates.
McConnell fears that if Trump wins in 2024 and MAGA Republicans have control over law enforcement and investigative agencies. His family will be investigated.
For the likes of McConnell, the challenges presented by MAGA Republicans are much worse than the severe damage caused by the Democrats. He is probably elated that Trump with his America First mindset is no longer in the White House. McConnell gets along fine with Joe Biden and other Democrats.
McConnell gladly approves of the Democrat plan to send billions of taxpayer money to be spent to defend and rebuild Ukraine without any transparency and accountability measures. There were reports that McConnell informed Biden that he wanted to blunt President Trump’s influence by conveying to allies in Eastern Europe that “Republicans believe NATO is important” and “push back against the isolationist sentiment in my own party.”
McConnell even visited Kyiv to meet with President Zelenskyy. McConnell probably hasn’t visited any part of the US that is struggling due to Biden’s failed policies.
McConnel was among the Republican senators who voted to resettle unvetted Afghan refugees in the U.S. Department of Defense whistleblower report that 324 of the individuals the Biden administration evacuated from Afghanistan and welcomed into the U.S. have appeared on the terror watch list
Mitch McConnell joined all 50 Senate Democrats in voting in support of a 'gun safety' bill. Among the provisions in this bill is a Red Flag law that empowers a judge can order the seizure of firearms merely based on the suspicion that owners of firearms will use them to hurt themselves or others. In other words, the government will be empowered to seize firearms without reason.
Now for the gratuitous investigations of President Trump.
The goal behind January 6 Select Committee is not justice but instead to target Trump and the MAGA Republicans. It even doesn’t allow Trump lawyers to question witnesses. It is just about blatant lies and fabrications. This Stalinist witch-hunt seems like it was planned by the notorious Lavrentiy Beria who famously boasted to Stalin “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast.
But Mitch McConnell hasn’t said much against the committee. If asked he probably claims that he doesn’t want to interfere in an ongoing investigation and that he wants the law to take its course. Being neutral at such a critical juncture is the equivalent of colluding with the enemy.
If the polls are any indication the GOP seems on track to take back the House and the Senate. This victory will be the result of Donald Trump's popularity. His endorsements have swung races and his campaign rallies continue to pack spacious arenas.
It has to be remembered that during the Russia Hoax and the Mueller Probe, the GOP held majorities in both the House and the Senate but then-House Majority Leader Paul Ryan and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were mute spectators as the Democrats wreaked havoc.
McConnell's tenure ends in 2027, he will be 85 by then, and perhaps he may not seek re-election. Since there are no recall facilities for Senators it gives McConnell five more years to do as he pleases without any challenge or concern about being voted out.
The biggest risk after a GOP Landslide victory in November is McConnell may end up enjoying the fruits of the hard work from Trump and MAGA Republicans. He returns as Senate Majority leader and continues to collaborate with the Washington Democrat establishment to overtly and covertly wage war against President Trump and his supporters.
McConnell even predicted that he’ll be reelected as Senate Majority leader regardless of whether Republicans take back the upper congressional chamber in November’s elections.
It is therefore essential that if the GOP wins back the Senate they elect a new leader such as Rand Paul or John Kennedy or Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz could be a worthy replacement.
GOP Lawmakers have a great deal to do after winning the midterms. They have to undo the damage done by the Democrats on myriad fronts. The stakes are simply too high to allow the likes of Mitch McConnell to lead them again and scupper their agenda.
