Any jury that goes into a trial BOASTING a acquittal would be disqualified….
NOT the US Senate majority leader who is Making Money saying Donald Trump ain’t gonna be convicted by HIM….
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s (R-Ky.) reelection campaign is seizing on the fight over impeachment, pledging in Facebook ads that he will lead Republican efforts to stop President Trump from being removed from office.
“Nancy Pelosi‘s in the clutches of a left wing mob. They finally convinced her to impeach the president. All of you know your Constitution, the way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority with me as majority leader,” McConnell says in an ad that began running on Thursday.
“But I need your help. Please contribute before the deadline,” McConnell continues in the ad.
McConnell’s campaign, according to Facebook’s ad library, began running the digital ads with the video on Sept. 27, three days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) formally announced that House Democrats would launch an impeachment inquiry.
The decision, which followed months of pressure from progressives, came following reports of a whistleblower complaint alleging Trump urged the Ukranian government to investigate former Vice President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden…..

If there is anyone who thinks Mitch McConnell who has performed yeoman service as Donald Trumps office boy is going to be “ impartial “ in a trial of his boss?
They are taking some stuff that ain’t legal.
Of course with a few exceptions ,the Republican Senators are going to vote to acquit.Indeed our friend CG essentially conceded that yesterday.
As I will continue to emphasize.This is a political process more than a legal one.So none of this is surprising.
Agreed Jack…
Walter Shapiro: “If there was a moment that defined the decade, it was a Capitol Hill meeting in early September 2016 when top Obama administration officials (including Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and FBI director James Comey) briefed congressional leaders on the Russian hacking of the election.”
“But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in particular, challenged the intelligence findings and refused to sign a joint letter singling out Vladimir Putin…”
“In many ways, McConnell is the Person of the Decade when it comes to the destruction of democratic norms. From cynically depriving Merrick Garland of a confirmation vote for a seat on the Supreme Court to turning the Senate into a no-dissent rubber stamp for a Republican president, McConnell symbolizes the vicious partisanship of a dismal decade.”
Politicalwire..
What’s amusing is that McConnell routinely catches Hell from the Right Wing nutjobs Who now exercise outsized influence in the Trumpized Republican Party for not being partisan enough.
Trumpism…..
An Alternate Universe….
