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

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.

Clip Of Trump Raging About Iran As He's Standing Next To The Easter Bunny Is Going Viral For Its Sheer Absurdity

The sheer absurdity of President Donald Trump speaking to a crowd about his war in Iran as he stood next to the Easter Bunny ahead of the annual White House Easter Egg Roll hits a certain way just a couple of days after Trump threatened to decimate the country's infrastructure.

On Sunday, Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.
