McConnell is filthy dirty. If he doesn't have his "hands" on this it's because he's covered his tracks. Like Perkins Coie bought the Fusion GPS oppo. McConnell's not dumb. And he's ruthless.

McConnell is willing to get his hands dirty. And he doesn't hold back, which is why if this was McConnell oppo it would have dropped before the runoff. Plus Post went out of its way to say this isn't oppo. Unusual.

Because Mcconell doesn't actually want to be majority leader and based off his accomplishments and actions so far seems like he wants Dems running the show. We need our own version Harry Reid, not a Kentucky turkey gobbler like Mcconell
