Ex-McConnell Staffers Lobbied for Russian-Backed Kentucky Project: According to a new lobbying disclosure, two former “top staffers” of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have been doing some heavy lobbying of Congress and the Treasury Department on behalf of the development of a new Kentucky aluminum mill - to be financed by Russian aluminum giant Rusal.
Why, if one didn’t know better, one might mistakenly conclude that that may have had something to do with why Moscow Mitch recently saw fit to shelve proposed legislation designed to protect the US against Russian election meddling. Say it ain’t so!
Gee, can anyone say “conflict of interest?” Now, that makes me wonder, do you suppose Trump or Mitch and his boys will eventually end up selling Kentucky to the Russians? Now, I have no idea if the Putin or the Russians are even interested, but I do know this - I’d definately rather have a nice Kentucky Bourbon than a shot of Vodka any day. But that’s just me.
And, now that I think of it - I should have suspected that something amiss right away after Mitch was recently asked pointblank by a reporter if he was a Russian asset and his response was -“nyet.”
But no matter, I guess it’s all perfectly fine - that is, just as long as he’s not a Democrat. I mean, at this point, the GOP may as well just drop all pretenses and hold the damn 2020 Republican National Convention in the Moscow Convention Center. Hopefully by then, Trump Tower Moscow will be completed and they can all stay there.
