It seems strange that McConnell would openly admit to collaboration.
Schiff and Pelosi did it secretly and hid the witnesses.
But is it Ok for the Senate to hold a sham trial biased in favor of Trump?
It seems the process should be objective.
Will people apply a different standard to the house than Senate?
when was it secret? where there not republican congresspeople there at every step of the way?
how does it compare to one branch being subservient to another branch?
This is the oath each Senator will have to utter. Decide for yourself if coordinating directly with the defendant is right or wrong.
“I solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of name, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.”
The evidence was already presented in the House, that this impeachment is based on. Mitchell simply doesn’t believe that that evidence warrants a finding that he was guilty of any impeachable act. It will come out of the House strict party lines.
Why pretend and go through some motion?
Why is such a commonality that those that fetishize the Constitution the most apparently know nothing about it or it’s application?
This “basement” thing has some kind of significance with this lot but I still haven’t figured out what it is. I think they are trying to use emotional appeals like “basement” implies something untoward but maybe they’re PizzaGaters too.
