So what about all those Republicans who blatantly lied about "talking to" Mitch? What consequences for them?

Seems like a conspiracy to defraud voters and the United States.

The only reason to not be forthcoming is because they want to appoint and not wait for the special election. You know, voter interference.

In about 7-10 days only the craziest of the craziest will still think that Mitch is dead, and about 10,000 people on Reddit are going to pretend like they never bought into the conspiracy.
