Sen. Mitch McConnell breaks impeachment oath before taking it

[mia]

...Senate President McConnell (and, according to him, every other Republican senator) has broken that oath even before taking it.

McConnell told Fox News that he will coordinate with White House lawyers defending President Donald Trump, adding, “There is no chance the president is going to be removed from office.”

It’s like a jury foreman announcing that a defendant is innocent before the trial begins.

McConnell said, "We have no choice but to take it up. But we'll be working through this process hopefully in a fairly short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel's office and the people who are representing the president, in the way all of the Senate."

3. Could he be banned from participating because of his statements?

Any judge in a jury trial would toss him out if he made a statement like that before the jury is seated.
