“Finally”You think McConnell's signaling that he is pleased with impeachment and open to conviction, prior to impeachment proceedings, had no impact on anything? This, the day before the vote...big time signaling.
"Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him"
Further, you think POTUS explicitly denouncing violent protests (finally) was coincidental with McConnell now holding conviction over his head? He has the ability to call the Senate back tomorrow. Or not.
It’s almost like you don’t remember what you’ve said on this very thread.
