Jack Smith is Joe Biden’s handpicked prosecutor waging lawfare against Donald Trump.
His support was broader than anyone realized.
And Jack Smith had one powerful RINO secretly backing his witch hunt against Donald Trump.
Mitch McConnell backed Jack Smith targeting Donald Trump
RINO Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been at odds with former President Donald Trump for years.
It appeared that their relationship may have thawed earlier this year when McConnell endorsed Trump for President.
Behind closed doors, he was hoping that lawfare would bring the former President’s downfall.
McConnell wasn’t one of the Senate RINOs who voted to convict Trump over the January 6 impeachment hoax by former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
But a new book reveals that he was privately rooting for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 criminal case against Trump.
Author Michael Tackett wrote a new biography of McConnell called The Price of Power with insights from the Senate Republican leader.
McConnell told Tackett that he hoped Trump was charged by Smith in his sham January 6 case.
“From the start, McConnell thought the charges brought by federal prosecutors against Trump had merit,” Tackett wrote in the book.
The Kentucky lawmaker said that he hoped Trump will “pay a price” for his involvement in the events of January 6.
“If he hasn’t committed indictable offenses, I don’t know what one is,” McConnell told Tackett.
McConnell added “there’s no doubt who inspired it [January 6], and I just hope that he’ll have to pay a price for it.”
Mitch McConnell considered impeaching Trump over January 6
Seven Senate RINOs voted to convict Trump after the trial for the January 6 impeachment.
Trump fell 10 votes of being convicted in the Senate.
A conviction would have allowed the Senate to prevent the former President from holding office again.
Tackett’s biography claims that the thought of voting to convict Trump crossed McConnell’s mind.
“I’m not at all conflicted about whether what the president did is an impeachable offense. I think it is,” McConnell said.
McConnell falsely accused Trump of causing protesters to get out of hand on January 6.
Washington Post columnist George Will – one of the paper’s RINO opinion writers – drafted an op-ed urging McConnell to convict Trump in the impeachment trial but never published it.
The Republican Senate voted to acquit Trump in the trial arguing that he wasn’t eligible to be impeached since he was no longer in office.
“We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being accountable by either one,” McConnell said after trial.
He dismissed questions about his comments about Trump by pointing to others who’ve had criticisms of Trump over the years.
“Whatever I may have said about President Trump pales in comparison to what JD Vance, Lindsey Graham, and others have said about him, but we are all on the same team now,” McConnell claimed.
Mitch McConnell is stepping down from his post as the Senate Republican leader after the November election but he’s planning to stay in the Senate until he’s up for re-election in 2026.
