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)
As we noted following the election, the business model of selling votes is no longer as lucrative. McConnell and Harry Reid created and then held the UniParty power system as a system for affluence and influence. However, McConnell’s signature legacy item will be his role in eliminating the filibuster and turning the senate into a simple majority system.
In order to give the appearance of his opposition to this move, despite his years of working earnestly toward it, McConnell will exit very soon after the filibuster is eliminated. He will then blame the elimination of the filibuster as the excuse for his departure. This is the Machiavellian way he operates.
Driving tonight and listening to Levine. Just reported based on Schwitzer’s (sp) investigation, Chao/Mitch Net Worth had gone from $3M to $36M. She at Transportation and her family’s biz soaring and Mitch as Sen Head. FOLLOW THE $$$.
Mitch’s financial disclosure, req’d by law, showed $10-$15M gains/biz ventures WITH CHAO’S Family. Chao Family IN BIZ with the Chinese GOVT….
So, Chao, Mitch used the US GOVT to amass $30M in net worth in short-order.
Want to know why once elected to Congress: NOBODY ever leaves, but dies in office…THIS….the $$$MASSIVE to be gained. Mitch/Chao aren’t the only ones. Reported Pelosi and her family have amassed $millions as well.
ALL are doing it…not just Mitch, Nancy; ALL…the $$$ when in Congress is massive….deals, deals, gains, lobbyists, Wall St, Donors…the $$$ flow…
Burr, from NC, that I know well, went to DC as an equip salesman and far less than $1mln Net Worth. His insider trading scandal involved $1.3mln….which means he amassed well over $1mln while serving in the Senate, making $175k. SAVING EVERY DIME and HAVING NO PERSONAL EXPENSE wouldn’t have allowed him to save $1.3mln…
IT’S HOW GOVT, Congress WORKS for THEM…NOT US.. Our tax funds go all across the world to entities, factions, govts, etc. and those $$$ come right back to the politicians……
This is a hard lesson I learned from Q: How money gets laundered right back to our congress people. Whether foreign or demestic, it comes right back to congress. What a slick system.
Yep, and imo much of the money is laundered through the giveaways to foreign countries.
See my post above.
Disgusting how little it cost the CCP to buy our government. Have they no sense of propriety. I’m shocked! Less than the cost of one of our B2 aircraft
The CCP uses our money to buy our govt.
Creepy Biden negotiated a deal so the CCP could list their PLA and CCP owned corporations on our exchanges, sucking hundreds of billions of our money to finance their military upgrade. They bought the presidency and the govt. with chump changes from the deals.
They also benefited from being a “third” world country to take advantage of the international postal service which we pay multi-billions per year to subsidize. Trump tried to stop it, don’t know whether he succeeded.
LOL, he’s worth way more than that.
Seems to be typical of those in federal politics, come in with nothing and leave with millions. Clinton and Obama are two that come to mind.
That is how the federal corporation works…
Mitch is one slimy bastard.
I am 72 years old. When my father was a young man he asked his great-uncle who was congressman why America tip and giving money to foreign countries. The congressman told him you will never stop Congress from giving away money in foreign aid because that is where they’re Kickbacks come from to Swiss bank accounts.
Yeah, this crap has been going on forever, but its much worse now because whereas the oligarchs who owned “our” government used to be from US business concerns manufacturing primarily in the US and, therefore, individuals who had an allegiance to the US, at least for financial reasons, now the owners of “our” government are from multinational corporations who have no allegiance to any country, just to maximum profits.
(Reply to JWMSon). ^^^^^This. Especially the last paragraph.
If you’re really interested in how all this graft, theft and corruption works, read “The new confessions of an Economic Hit Man.” – John Perkins
Fantastic book!
Correct … something else President Trump helped expose … the insider kickbacks from ALL foreign and domestic funding to the politicians who pass the funding.
Followed up with insider trading.
An interesting turn of events.
The turtle “runs” for re-election and wins with President Trumps endorsement, then turns on him. The little missus makes a show of resigning…a few days after an event that supposedly is so horrifying to her, she cannot stay on.
The turtle figures out his attempt to shove President Trump out the door isn’t working for him too well, so he tries the opposite, but not enough to mean anything.
Suddenly some reports on the little missus having ethics issues 4 years ago is reported. The next day the turtle is suggesting he may not stay for his full 6 year term he just ran to get re-elected to.
I suspect the turtle recognized a warning shot across his shell and he is signaling he will go away shortly before the real dirt is exposed.
Sounds plausible. Very plausible.
Touche! “warning shot across his shell.”
Those were EXACTLY my thoughts. How many others are owned by the Chinese?
Good question!
How many aren’t is the real question to be answered.
Definitely every single one of the Chamber of Commerce alphabet-visa moneywhores.
Bear in mind, BOTH halves of the Uniparty, have an unwritten “line of succession” that although unwritten, is as solid as the Constitutional line of succession for POTUS.
So, McConnell leaving changes NOTHING, his “work is done” but the Uniparty duplicity will continue.
THUNE will most likely move up, and Graham will most likely take over the #2 slot; its how they roll.
Need to remove at least 18 Senators, in order to truly wrest control of the Senate away from the Uniparty, and thats at a MINIMUM.
And, as the old faces retire, new ones will move up; same old wine, in a brand new bottle,…
The rino gop has a full lineup of nasty swamp creature scumbags set up for Mitchs succession.
McConnells removal would affect very little and his replacement might be even worse.
For those hoping the rino gop will be reformed by ‘vote them out’ or ‘getting involved’ be prepared for a decades-long ground warfare campaign. Maybe youll put a dent in it maybe.
An alternative would be to begin a movement and new 3rd party and blow this corrupt system to smithereens and do an end run around the uniparty (and stop dumb things like ‘cpac’… ).
I have zero interest in trying to reform the unreformable rino gop. Weve been at that a long time. It. Will. Not. Work.
I support your conclusion but it’s too late anyway. There’s only one way this will change and it is coming. This country in the world with the is headed to a chaotic disaster
Cant disagree.
A 3rd party would not be easy.
Reforming rino gop is next to impossible would take decades that we dont have.
Were in a bad spot either way. Election was 5 months ago what have the gop done since then.
3rd party is a fantasy at this point in history.
Well thats a great show of the patriotic can-do spirit.
Ross got 19% in 1992.
Trump or his candidate would go >50%.
Definitely wont know if its not tried.
That is probably the most interesting aspect of this. Who will he find who has any hope of defeating whoever Trump endorses? If the Kentucky GOP is smart, they will work out a deal with McConnell to pick his successor who,once installed after McConnell resigns, declare he will not run for re-election. That is if the Kentucky GOP wants to survive the next wave. There is only one path to victory.
If the turtle resigns prior to his term ending … the Kentucky RAT Guv assigns his replacement … the turtle is trying to change that Kentucky rule – that must be voted on – as I type.
Yep. Is it possible to scare 8 or 9 of them to resign by getting rid of all 3 or 4 RINOS up for re-election in 2022? I know blunt, Murkowski, thune are up and need to go in 2022
I think the strongest message would be a rino loss in the general similar to Loeffler and Perdue. I think that one sent a strong message. That voters won’t tolerate betrayal any more.
The problem is these guys don’t take the hint. See Sundance’s earlier post on the county meeting in GA and the post-mortem of the election. Also see Mulvaney’s “cantaloupe” talk. They don’t get it.
Maybe it is time for a new Constitution. I don’t think the Founders anticipated the scale of the graft and the speed at which it could happen now. Of course they seemingly expected us to overthrow an unjust government that didn’t abide by their shared principles, since that’s exactly what they did. I suppose they didn’t jump to the cartridge box to start, and neither will we. But they seem hellbent on creating a new Lexington.
I would not trust any group of people alive today to write a new constitution that would be better than the one we have. The problem is those in our government are not abiding by our constitution. Our forefathers were incredibly intelligent and thoughtful in how they put it together. The vast majority also were strong men of faith and believed they were being led by God in the steps they took. Currently, there are a few that are quite intelligent and thoughtful, there are also a few very godly individuals, but unfortunately not enough of both to override those that would oppose them.
We need more Mostly Peaceful goodbyes for these Traitors. They all need to be mostly peaceful’d to death
There are plenty more where McConnell came from.
This has always been the problem with the party system of selecting leaders. The party trains and grooms and vets members to ensure that the money train continuous chugging and no one is allowed on the train in from outside the process. This means that probably everyone associated with the party is on board with this game. The only thing we can hope for is that when the leaders are thrown out those below change their attitudes structures. I don’t see how you can change this considering the self-centered greed of mankind. Only the righteous could possibly hold the power without being totally corrupted and there are so few of us worthy of that description. Only God can save this
Good post.
I love optimism and action but its looking grim
Thune and Graham – another Rino nightmare.
Don’t know if I agree with you on a minimum of 18 that must be deposed. Don’t forget the so-called Republican majority that did not allow a recess appointment. I say get rid of them ALL.
AMERICA FIRST – – – while there’s a chance to save it.
Closer to 30
There will be many more corrupt squishes retiring early. The writing is on the wall. They don’t have the balls nor brains to fight Trump and their own voters one more time. Take the money and run while they still can. Winning!
The people of Kentucky will have to make sure Mcturtle’s “short list of successors” don’t get elected to his seat!!!!
All of the above is true but I also suspect the turtle is feeling the effects of old age and is not long for this world.
The demonRATS will take out their useful idiot RINOS – one by one … these traitors never saw the purge coming.
Superb report. It is at least something to look forward to. Such a creep!
Perhaps this explains the Barr/McConnell meeting after the election. We will drop the investigation into E. Chao if you help us remove PDJT and then step down. I think the timing for that works out almost perfectly.
I am not sure why stepping down would be part of that deal. In my dream world, stepping down was not part of the deal but was forced by us/PDJT and is a sign of things to come.
easy give the senate to the dems
they need to have senate for eu and un laws for added control of we peons
I think it is a logical conclusion.
I see it differently; Barr effectively worked for McConnell, as does Wray and Haspel.
No quid pro quo, Barr was just giving his boss a status/progress report.
Will stifle any election fraud investigations, and send FBI agents out to intimidate witnesses, and shred ballots.
Don’t worry about the investigation of your wife, it will go nowhere.
I will resign after the election,…etc.
Heres the account #, to deposit my final payment, Mitch.
You’ve always been a reliable cleaner, Bill.
It’s a RAT purge … one RINO at a time … insuring RAT “wins” from their computer fraud.
Oh yeah, CCP corrupt Greed politics McConnell finally soon be go a way,GOODBYE forever,
https://twitter.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1367520385936338950
Mitch and chines wife will move To communist china and Join communist party,
Perhaps they already have and have a Zoom meeting with Xi Zheng Ping every morning with Uncle Joe before naptime
One of her sisters is on the Board of the Bank of China.
Please, please let this not be true on the filibuster. Conservative Treehouse has been accurate in the past. So this makes me very afraid.
They have been threatening to end it since before the election. Now they can, but should they.
Why are you afraid.. you no longer have any controll over this illegal congress.. the Uniparty will do what it wants….
Just have a plan ready for the time will come..
And live in peace..
If his picked replacement was smart, they would see the sh**show the pimp left for him and there would be noone who would want it unless a socialist.
Oh c’mon….
Just look at the steaming piles the congress and senate are.
Any one of them can be bought…..and are.
Just think: Joe Manchin…..has a “For Sale” sign strapped on his a$$.
I have said before, but I will repeat, It is a sad reflection on our future, if it relies on Joe Manchin….
Rockindubya, Manchin is as duplicitous as they come. He goes on media and talks a good game. He sounds so reasonable and willing to compromise to the people back home. How many keep up with his votes?
I know those very people, and when it comes to the consequences of what they vote for their heads are in a metaphorical coal mine. They willfully can’t see three feet in front of their faces.
You did your dirty work Mitch. Time to go home now and enjoy your spoils. I would say thanks for nothing, but you did way more than nothing.
Good riddance. The Turtle will not be missed.
What tangible substance is there to report? Sundance always offers backup and is transparent in the storylines – this seems highly speculative until we can tie it to something. If it can be tied, then let us know there’s evidence to believe.
Maybe the UniParty is merely removing a lightning rod who is drawing unwanted attention to their Cartel activities? Notice how Soros, Schiff, Dunham-Soetoro, and etc have disappeared from the public eye.
I’m curious who will be the minority leader.
Thune is “next in line”, thats how they work it.
Where’s Jimmy Stewart when you need him?! (Aka Mr. Smith Goes to Washington).
That was a Hollywood movie. There hasn’t been a Mr. Smith in Washington DC since Mr. Washington.
There was one recently named DJT. 🙂
Trump just rumbling around here and there has got them in a stir. They are scared to death as well as they should be.
Turtle is done. The party is over for Turtle and his China spouse. He is just trying to cut his loses. The loser knows his 30 year game is over. Bye bye you loser
Time for PDJT to make turtle soup.
AMERICA FIRST………..some day again.
Well his top pick, AG Daniel Cameron is his Grandson-in-law, so that will just be more of the same corruption. He’s already been in hot water over the Breonna Taylor case and how that was handled. The only one that I don’t think comes with any baggage is SOS Michael Adams but I’m not sure if he’s ready for a position as high profile as US Senate. I think his successor should be chosen by the KY legislators but definitely not by the Governor.
I wouldn’t shed a tear if there happened to be a Bob Lee Swagger incident.
I could not post on this article earlier today. It is looking much better now, although I have now forgotten what I wanted to say. This afternoon I could only find a comment box that had an invitation to Subscribe and wouldn’t allow me to even type in the box. Did anyone else have this problem?
that you joe? just kidding. i had the same problem.
GOP neocons shouldn’t feel bad. His replacement will probably be worse, so they have that going for them.
But it’s a second-stringer wildcard that they would rather not have. The mullahs weren’t too sure that the replacement for Soleimani will be anywhere nearly as effective as his replacement.
*aren’t sure that Soleimani’s replacement will be anywhere near as effective as the aforementioned.
Sundance, you are to be commended for so many people seeing the real McCoynell. I for one never realized how coruupt McConnell is/was until finding the CTH site back in 2018. He is a master decepticon and a traitor to the United States of America. Thanks for all you do! It is too bad that there are several layers of justice and that him and his wife will never see the justice that a regular citizen would if they committed the same crimes against America. Our USIC and FBI should be focused on our own politicians as they are as big or worse threat than foreign or domestic enemies. Those who get to make the laws always find ways to exempt themselves.
I truly think his replacement will be better. PDJT opened enough eyes to insure this,
Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle..
I watched Mitch McConnell speak on MSM about this voting changes…how democrats were changing the law.. to allow them to cheat..
Sorry.. little to late for that..
you approved of the fraud..
You have no standing.. neither does congress or the Supreme Court.
Fraudulent government officials have no legal authority..over anyone…
MAGA
When we have politicians who sleep with CCP spies and employ them for over 20+ yrs knowing top secret information is being transmitted to China why can’t Mitch do the same ?
Our country was sold out decades ago and you can bet ALL alphabet agencies are Communist from the top down. 99.9% are not good either
McConnell and Rove make for a nice couple.
Trump just posted on telegram about both of them. I just couldn’t copy and paste here
Two Democrats have said they would vote against the filibuster. Where do the votes come from to eliminate it?
I predict Mitch will be appointed an Admiral in the CCP Navy, in charge of Merchant Marine.
He and his wife will get a nice property in Macao. Beautiful town with European style coffee houses, architecture and museums. It might even remind him a little of the Country he betrayed and sold out. I can’t picture Mitch in a speedo on the beach in San Tropez.
Mitch in a speedo. Eye bleach. Stat!
https://t.me/real_DonaldJTrump/13394
Guess my post was removed. Is that a google effect here too?
OK, never mind. Things just move quickly here Lol. I’d lve to see Mitch gone. Just leery of what awaits.
Dung Zhou Mitch works for the CCP.The takeover of America is being finalized under the Body Snatcher In Chief and both Houses. Mitch didnt end the filibuster under President Trump but he’s willing to do it under the CCP Installed Puppet in the Oval Office. What more do we need to know.
Just a happy song on hearing Tyrannosaurus Turtle may serve a short term
Weird Al “The Saga Begins” Spoiler: Anakin McConnell becomes Vader
Like in life, sometimes little good guys grow up to be evil bad guys. Shame so many have gone over the the Dark Side.

China’s Cyberwarfare Attack On 2020 US Election Tied To Mitch McConnell’s CCP-Connected Wife Elaine Chao – The American Report
https://theamericanreport.org/2021/02/19/chinas-cyberwarfare-attack-on-2020-us-election-tied-to-mitch-mcconnells-ccp-connected-wife-elaine-chao/
What a corrupt sickening government we have. President Trump never had a chance. These evil pukes all, EVERY SINGLE ONE, tied his hands and at every turn. We were dopes to ever think this was a legit government.
Remember the scenes in “Independence Day” where the Quaid character in the RV keeps claiming crazy stories about aliens, and everybody thinks he’s a nut? Turns out all of those we’ve heard over the years saying the “entire government is crooked” were and are absolutely correct.
The only candidate I will vote for will be those recommended by Trump.
Gartrell Bibberts:
Chao being investigated for exactly the same actions as Biden//Hunter?
The Turtle was in the running for permanent minority leader of the rump opposition party that our globalist elite and Chinese masters will keep in place to maintain the illusion that the First American Republic is still alive. His other career alternative is to be part of the multi-billion-dollar empire of his father-in-law, Chinese wheeler-dealer James Chao. It looks like Mittens Romney in the Supreme Soviet and either Cheney, Kitzinger or Meijer (if they survive) in the Peoples National Congress have the inner tracks in Beijing and Davos. They will all be puppets and will do nothing for regular Americans, only do things to them after consultation with the demented election-stealer or, sometime this year or next, the round-heeled mongrel. Down with the dictatorship! Biden delendum est!
In 2022, the Democrats will get fried, in both houses.
Brain dead Joe will be, officially legitimate, may be gone by then, as well.
It answers the question of why the Dem’s are throwing every horrible policy, they have from worst to first.
The only chance they have is to get rid of us.
Duplicitous, miscreant fraud. Stands before the American people as a selfless public servant…. galling and infuriating. End private lobbying and enforce term limits.

Change the law to conduct a special election and the people decide (GASP!).
Does it matter? Some other Republican weasel will just take his place.
Option 1:
Mitch is putting in place an insurance policy so that the 50:50 split continues in case something happens to him.
Option 2:
Daniel Cameron is a handsome black man who is very articulate. I suspect Mitch is going to place him in his Senate seat so that Daniel can run for president in 2024. If you searched the country, you would be hard-pressed to find a better candidate. This would be the ultimate revenge for Mitch – His handpicked candidate winning the 2024 nomination. Do not underestimate this possibility. Rove will help.
Kentucky has a super duper majority Republican Legislature. Also, in Kentucky you can veto the governor with a simple majority in each chamber. The Legislature’s 2021 session ends no later than April 15th. Why they do not change the State Constitution to fix this is a mystery. All Legislatures should be in session during election years. We saw what happened in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona when the Legislature was not in session to respond to changes in election law.
McConnell has always been a snake in the grass beginning his days as governor of KY. He should never been allowed to get where he is.
“However, McConnell’s signature legacy item will be his role in eliminating the filibuster and turning the senate into a simple majority system.”
Yeah, no.
Whether you like McConnell or not, it was Harry Reid who initiated the removal of the filibuster.
BOOM … confirming … President Donald Trump is our Commander in Chief!!!
Mitch will die In congress. He won’t give it up.
Americans need justice from that Traitor McConnel. He should be arrested for treason, tried and executed. McConnel and his chinese wife have sponged and stolen from America for decades.
Mitch is a crook. He stabbed Trump in the back, and it is past time this crook and his wife leave period.
Not sure if news about the investigation into his wife’s activities while Secretary for DoT had broke at the time this article was posted, but that is probably also contributing to Cocaine Mitch’s imminent departure.
