GOP strategist accuses Mitch McConnell's team of morbid scam — and tells them to lawyer up

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has posted two images from the hospital to show proof of life, amid swirling speculation about his declining health.But former GOP strategist turned Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt doesn't buy it — and told Joanna Coles on The Daily Beast Podcast this week that he is convinced there is a cover-up underway.“Here’s my advice to the Mitch McConnell team: get lawyers,” said Schmidt. “I think this is a fraud that’s being perpetrated upon the taxpayer and whatever statute is applicable. I think there’s a high likelihood that what they’re doing here is illegal. I don’t think that Mitch McConnell is alive... I don’t think he’s sentient.”McConnell, who previously served as Senate Republican Leader and was an overbearing presence in national politics, was rushed to the hospital weeks ago over what has been described as a cardiac arrest event. Aides insist McConnell is recovering but acknowledge he is a long way from returning to work.The bottom line, said Schmidt, is that “I don’t think Mitch McConnell’s walking out of the hospital.”Under Kentucky law, passed recently by Republicans, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear would not have any power to appoint an interim senator if McConnell passes away, and a special election would have to take place immediately.Beshear has faced calls from some Democratic activists to do more to demand proof of life from McConnell, but Schmidt pointed out people need to be realistic.The governor “can’t show up at the hospital and declare, ‘It’s I, Andy Beshear, governor of the Commonwealth, let me into the room.’ Right?” said Schmidt. “And by the way, Andy Beshear’s not in that political party that wants to be in your hospital room with you at the moment of birth, at the moment of death; that’s peering through the bedroom window.”

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani (D.) is under fire for snubbing Jews from an influential judicial advisory panel and blocking the nomination of a former judge, who is Jewish, because he once represented Ghislaine Maxwell. But Mamdani tapped a left-wing attorney who has represented multiple convicted cop-killers—including two black nationalists who murdered two New York City police officers—to serve on the committee, the Washington Free Beacon found.

'Where does it stop?' Todd Blanche's 'lawfare' haunts him as another GOP senator defects

President Donald Trump's nomination of Todd Blanche for attorney general hit yet another stumbling block on Wednesday, this time from Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).According to Semafor's Burgess Everett, Cassidy has lingering concerns about Blanche's record, saying, “I have to make sure that he is the attorney general who used to be the president's personal attorney, not the personal attorney who is also the attorney general.”In particular, he cited the fact that under Blanche's leadership, the Justice Department appears to be criminally investigating a former Trump White House official who served as a key witness for the House January 6 Committee — a probe that reportedly began under Blanche's predecessor, Pam Bondi, as a way to placate the president.“I am concerned about the lawfare, going after people," said the senator. "Cassidy Hutchinson, for example, a grand jury, I'm told, is being empaneled, [and] going after her. Why? Tell me that again. Why? The fact that that's happening ... should concern all Americans, because where does it stop?”Cassidy is one of a handful of Republicans set to leave Congress due to Trump's fury, having lost a primary in his state after Trump endorsed his opponent.Another Republican who was ousted by a Trump-backed primary challenger, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), has similarly threatened to oppose Blanche until he can give satisfactory answers on the Trump administration's "anti-weaponization" slush fund and the deal to immunize the Trump family from IRS investigations. Opposition from survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein case is also a factor.Cornyn abruptly canceled a meeting he was set to have with Blanche on Wednesday ahead of this week's confirmation vote.
