"SNIP.....

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) claimed that several of his Republican colleagues in the Senate have “severe misgivings” about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) impeachment strategy to coordinate with the White House, The Hill reports.

Said Blumenthal: “I’ve talked to anywhere from five to 10 of my colleagues who have very severe misgivings about the direction that Mitch McConnell is going in denying a full, fair proceeding with witnesses and documents. My hope is that they will say publicly what Senator Murkowski did, and really hold Mitch McConnell accountable.”
