Moscow Mitch is holding the 2020 election hostage for Trump, Putin

Impeached President Donald Trump is becoming increasingly Stalinesque in his purges of national security officials trying to stop Russia's election interference. He is being aided in this by House Republicans, who immediately informed Trump that Democratic House members had been told of those efforts, so he could try to shut that down.

Moscow Mitch makes clear the 395 House-passed bills are dead, but they're alive for the election

Moscow Mitch McConnell went on Fox News to chortle and gloat over the 395 bills the Democratic House has passed in the last year that he's refusing to consider. "It is true," the Senate majority leader said. "They've been on full left-wing parade over there, trotting out all of their left-wing solutions that are going to be issues in the fall campaign.

McConnell trolls us all with his power to wreck the Senate, the judiciary, the nation - Daily Kos

SF Gate: Mitch McConnell: The Man Who Sold America

Fittingly enough, it was hot as blazes in Kentucky when Mitch McConnell slunk back home for Congress' annual summer recess. One week earlier, Robert Mueller had testified that Russia was meddling in the 2020 U.S. elections. McConnell, the Senate majority leader, responded by shooting down Democrats' efforts to bring two election-security bills to a vote — bills that McConnell, in his familiar fashion, had previously sentenced to quiet deaths....
