TUCKER: McConnell Ordered Trump Not To Pardon Assange, Suggested Senate Will Impeach If He Does
Scoop Publisher Francesco Abbruzzino
On today’s episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Tucker Carlson revealed that his sources inform him soon-to-be Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has informed President Donald Trump that he will be “much more likely” to convict President Trump on the baseless impeachment rushed through by the U.S. House of Representatives if he chooses to pardon Wikileaks whistleblower Julian Assange.
After discussing the cases of both Assange and John Kiriakou, who have been arrested – and in one case convicted – for the crime of exposing the truth about the United States government, Carlson revealed that neither man is expected to receive a presidential pardon.
Carlson explained that, while President Trump may personally wish to pardon one or both men, he is being blackmailed by McConnell in the U.S. Senate. According to Carlson, McConnell informed President Trump that if either man is pardoned, he will instruct Republican senators to join the Democrats in convicting President Trump in the likely-upcoming Senate impeachment trial.
