Fox & Friends Props Up Mitch McConnell's Planned Sham Trump Impeachment Trial

“Impeachment is gonna fade away” by the election, McConnell declared. “It will all be completed sometime, I assume, in the early part of the year. We all know how this is gonna end.”

Under pressure for a fair and legitimate Trump impeachment trial in the Senate, #MoscowMitch McConnell sounded a bit less cocky on yesterday’s Fox & Friends than he had two weeks before on Hannity.

You may recall that on the December 12 Hannity, McConnell repeatedly boasted about conducting the Senate trial “in total coordination” with the White House and he signaled a desire to acquit Donald Trump without hearing from witnesses.

But Fox’s own poll found that 52% of Americans think the Trump administration has not cooperated enough with the impeachment inquiry. A more recent Morning Consult poll found 54% think the Senate should call additional witnesses.

Also, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding on to the articles of impeachment. Her move simultaneously trolls Trump (who wants an immediate trial), pressures McConnell to provide a fairer trial and threatens the possibility of further articles.

1. I think a half-dozen or so Senators have already told McConnell they will vote for witnesses...

Just my opinion.

We will see McConnell come around to permitting witnesses in the next few days.

Confidentially, he knows he does not have the numbers.

2. Perhaps mass public demonstrations are in order.

Their audience may need reminding that there’s more to the story than what Anus Orange and his Major Organ say.
