Dear God, please let there be a paper trail showing bribes going from Deripaska straight to McConnell.

May Moscow Mitch be exposed for what he is:

An enemy of democracy. A puppet of the oligarchs.

I hope he is literally crapping in his pants right now. It’s about time we started getting some accountability

YES! Maybe McTurtleneck will finally be outed!

"In 2018, the U.S. government put sanctions on Deripaska, but maneuvering by then–Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) meant Congress lifted them in 2019. Just months later, Deripaska invested in an aluminum plant in Kentucky." Moscow Mitch earned his moniker. He IS a traitor to this country.

Of course the big job-creating aluminum plant that Deripaska was going to build in Kentucky, which was announced for McConnell to take credit for it during his re-election campaign, looks like it will never be built.

There are so many ways for him to be bribed legally.

If only...🙏

However, I fear that Darth McConnell is already too rich and too smart to be caught up in such foolishness as accepting campaign contributions from a foreign source or a bribe.

BruceC, For McTurtleneck money is power. The more money the more power. and even the smartest fox can finally be outsmarted!

You must add in his ability to have a chokehold on the Senate as an additional power. He gets a lot of pleasure from tripping up the Democratic party.

It strikes me that his abundant arrogance that he has the power to never suffer consequences would far outweigh anything

I'm afraid I agree, but having the FBI raid that particular home in Kentucky would certainly energize most of the country. I know... only a dream.

Probably not directly. Kickbacks directed to another Kentuckian who then directs it to McConnell's PAC. Something like that maybe. But there will be a trail.
