Senator Mitch McConnell supported the federal charges against President Trump brought by special prosecutor Jack Smith regarding the January 6th protests.
In a new book called “The Price of Power,” McConnell told author Michael Tackett that “If Trump hasn’t committed indictable offenses, I don’t know what one is.”
McConnell further told Tackett, “There’s no doubt who inspired it, and I just hope that he’ll have to pay a price for it.”
Axios further reported, “From the start, McConnell thought the charges brought by federal prosecutors against Trump had merit.”
Mitch McConnell is a SNAKE.
In his new biography, he sides with Jack Smith and says that he hopes President Trump will “pay the price” for J6.
Thank God he is stepping down from Senate Leadership. BE GONE!

Here’s what The Independent:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell backed the federal charges against former President Donald Trump in connection to the January 6 Capitol riot and said he hoped Trump would “pay a price” for the attack, according to an upcoming biography.
McConnell has been critical of the former president for years – while also still somehow backing him publicly – stating his support for Special Counsel Jack Smith in 2023.
ADVERTISEMENT“If he hasn’t committed indictable offenses, I don’t know what one is,” McConnell told Michael Tackett for the book, The Price of Power. McConnell made the comment just weeks after Smith filed the charges in August last year.
The book is set to be published a week before the election.
“From the start, McConnell thought the charges brought by federal prosecutors against Trump had merit,” the journalist writes, according to Axios.
“There’s no doubt who inspired it, and I just hope that he’ll have to pay a price for it,” McConnell told Tackett about January 6.

Per The National Pulse:
In a biography set to release just before the election, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell openly sides with Biden-Harris special counsel Jack Smith and expresses his hope that former President Donald J. Trump will “pay a price” for his alleged role in January 6.
McConnell’s statements to journalist Michael Tackett for The Price of Power reflect the 82-year-old’s ongoing antipathy to Trump, despite their shared party affiliation.McConnell’s endorsement of the lawfare campaign against the America First leader reveals just how deep his bitterness runs.
“If he hasn’t committed indictable offenses, I don’t know what one is,” McConnell complains. He insists, “…there’s no doubt who inspired [January 6], and I just hope that he’ll have to pay a price for it.”
The book also reveals that McConnell seriously considered voting to convict Trump during his second impeachment in 2021.
