Mitch McConnell Admitted He's 'Coordinating' Impeachment Strategy With Trump's White House Counsel, and People Are Crying Foul

The House Judiciary Committee voted Friday morning to bring abuse of power and obstruction of Congress articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the House floor for a full vote.

The Democratic House is expected to vote in favor of the articles as well, officially impeaching Trump and putting him on trial in the Republican Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is already sparking concerns about the trial's fairness with comments he made Thursday night on far-Right Fox News host Sean Hannity's show.


Watch below.

McConnell assured that Senate Republicans would take instruction from the White House in how to conduct the trial:

"There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can."

There's just one problem: The Constitution.

Article I, section 3 of the Constitution mandates that Senators take an oath before hearing impeachment testimony, but it's not the oath of office that they take. Instead it's the oath of a juror.

According to the Senate Rules in Impeachment, the oath is:

"I solemnly swear (or affirm) that in all things appertaining to the trial of ____, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help me God."

Senators must take an oath to be impartial and listen to the facts, regardless of party.

McConnell's statement is already considered by numerous lawmakers and legal experts to be a preemptive breach of his oath.





People are demanding McConnell and Republican senators answer for the comments.


This saga is far from over.
