Say what? Now that a Senate impeachment trial looks imminent, Dems and NeverTrumpers demand McConnell ‘be fair’
(TNS) We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: To be a Democrat, you have to lack the ‘hypocrisy gene’ because the Garbage Party exists as walking, talking examples of deceit and dishonesty.
House Democrats who have been ‘managing’ the impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump have broken rules, violated standards, shunned decorum, and, more importantly, prevented minority Republicans from engaging in a fair process.

The GOP couldn’t call witnesses. Proceedings were largely held in secret. Democrats could not find a single fact witness to testify to misdeeds by President Trump in his dealings with Ukraine. Etc.
But now, suddenly, after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday announced he would be following the “lead” of the president’s attorney in any upcoming trial, Democrats and NeverTrumpers are gnashing their teeth and demanding fairness, by god!
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday evening that he plans to follow directions from President Donald Trump’s lawyers during an expected upcoming impeachment trial.
“Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House counsel,” McConnell (R-Ky.) told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“We’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office,” McConnell continued.
“I’m going to take my cues from the president’s lawyers.”
The majority leader met with White House lawyer Pat Cipollone on Thursday to talk about a Senate impeachment trial, which many expect to begin after the Christmas holiday.
Cue the ‘outrage’ from the perpetually outraged.
“I’m going to take my cues from the president’s lawyers.”
— Mitch McConnell
Shouldn’t McConnell take his cues from 1) the Constitution, 2) the rules and precedents of the Senate, and 3) the requirements of a real and fair trial? https://t.co/4FjTJSfTxs— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 13, 2021
But there are other questions. The rules set by the Senate for the Clinton trial were adopted unanimously after they were worked out mutually by leaders Daschle and Lott. McConnell voted for them! There is no reason to abandon them. But there will be a Senate debate and vote

And of course, we can’t have simple political disagreement in America anymore; we must have perpetual disruption and something to rip away at the fabric of our civil society.
If McConnell continues to collude and four R's do not defect to demand a real trial with witnesses then peaceful, mass protest is in order. This should not stand.

And here comes former GOP’er Justin Amash, fresh off attending a Christmas party with the president and First Lady (because that’s what you do - you hobnob with a president who is destroying the Constitution):
Senators “shall be on Oath or Affirmation.”
“I solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.” https://t.co/xjDj3OHvRu

I doubt the Commicrat’s definition of a free trial would include compelling Joe and Hunter Biden, the “whistleblower,” and Shiff to testify? That I am sure would be very “unfair” to these arbiters of ethics, morality, free speech, and due priocess.No, that would be “unfair.”
They’re kidding, right? After all the dirty tricks and grossly unfair tactics in the House, they now demand McConnell be “fair?” Their idea of fair is muzzle the truth and proceed on hearsay, feelings and lies. Fair? What a bunch of screwballs.
Deceitful people walk with satan. It’s one of their character defects. I believe these people are evil.
Not only should Democrats be marginalized during this brief process…they should be marginalized in a way which offers little dignity. The snub should be overt.
Be fair??? HAHAHA

So….what’s new? Republican pols…..they ‘talk the talk” when campaigning….but when the get to Washington, they hide under their desks. Oh ya….you get a Trey Gowdy ‘n Lindsay Graham now ‘n then……getting lots of camera time…but they have records of doing ZERO. The Dems run everything there……the Republican’s function is…..to bend over and grab their ankles. This they do very well. Vince Foster….Ron Brown…fast ‘n furious…Solyndra….VA scandal…IRS scandal…Benghazi….the old bag’s email scandal….Washerwoman Schultz scandal, et al. Not ONE indictment…..but hey….conservative sites keep blowin’ sunshine up our knickers. Think anyone involved in the “coup” is going to jail? History says, we won’t… Read more »
Demand? The dems threw away their right to demand anything. They just need to be quiet and take what they have coming. Once again they have created their own mess where there was no mess and now they have the nerve to demand? I don’t think so.
boo f****** hoo …….
The last thing the Dems and never-Trumpers want is a *fair* trial in the Senate.
I believe McConnell should be fair…as fair as Schiff was in the first round. No witnesses for the prosecution, prescreened questions from the socialist-democrats and over-ruling and interupting answers from cross examination. Just sayin….
Be Fair? Lol, its a tad late to start that now…
Let’s be as fair as they were in congress.
I would like to see a fair, long trial to discover and correct lessons learned. It would be fairer if McConnell hadn’t taken direction from Trumps lawyer. It fosters the same argument Republicans used in the House against Dems. Graham is a fool for wanting a short trial. American taxpayers want to see justice for the $$ millions paid, instead of everything being swept under the rug. What is it with these wimps?? To shorten the trial only allows the Democrats to recoup and recover in time for the election, and yet again, no one is held accountable (i.e.HRC OBAMA… Read more »
The Democrats want to have the trial after they hang Trump.
The Senate trial needs to be EXACTLY as fair as the House one ( no asking questions the majority doesn’t like, no ability to call witnesses, and secret hearings the minority is forbidden to discuss)
Now the dems are in favor of following the Constitution and precedent?
Not a McConnell fan here but I am impressed with his “purely political stand” in declaring he will coordinate with White House Counsel because the Democrats are prosecuting this as “purely political. In other words, McConnell is saying “it may not be fair but I can get away with it just like you think you can”.
all i have heard for weeks when i complain about the unfairness of the house process is “the house gets to set its own rules, you need to wait till it gets to the senate”.. So now that it is in the senate they dont want the senate to make its own rules. go figure all for me but not for thee…..
I’d say to be at least as fair as Adam Schitt and Nadless Nadler!
These idiotic, demonic Anti-American criminal Democrats have committed suicide….they are GONZO and I love watching it happen!
My thoughts: The 63 million voters should enter a Class Action Law Suit against the Democrat Party demanding that each and everyone of the “Impeachment Perpetrators” be put on trial for “Treason”. “Treason is defined as intentionally betraying one’s allegiance by levying war against the government or giving aid or comfort to its enemies. It’s the most serious offense one can commit against the government and is punishable by imprisonment and death.” The Enemy: in this case, Impeachment “Conspirators” members of the Democratic Party. The Crime: 1.) Delaying, impeding the progress of the U.S. Government Executive Branch from enforcing the… Read more »
The Senate will be just as fair as the House was.
Screwballs yes, treasonous screwballs.
Yes, let’s be as fair to the democrats as they have been to the GOP. I hope the dems enjoyed their witch hunt and witch trial. The table is about to turn.
Make the Senate Impeachment trial as partisan as can be. Show the Demoncraps that the Republicans can play the same game! Bring a bazooka to a gun fight!
I would be as Fair as Adam shift, Nancy Pelosi, and all the rest of the Democrats in their dark basement hearings and not letting the Republicans ask a question. I would have witnesses that would testify and then get up there and question the others that’s what the Democrats think is fair, So be it.
I think the Senate trial should be and most likely will be just as “fair” as Adam (Schitt for brains) Schiff’s hearings were. The dem’s should have no complaints as they didn’t complain about Schitt!~
When all is said and done in this “trial” if the dem’s think it was fair I think McConnell should be voted out of the Senate.
I have but one word to describe how I feel about these stinking dem’s and that is “effem.”
Well, I sympathize with my American friends; you have political issues to deal with; as does Canada. I’m from a country that has elected a Prime Minister who wears Blackface as often as RuPaul wears a dress and makeup; but at least RuPaul pays for it himself. Donald Trump has been castigated for all sorts of crimes and misdemeanors that he has never actually committed, whereas our Prime Minister is given a free pass by the media after a GOVERNMENT watchdog found the Prime Minister guilty of ACTUAL CRIMES on numerous occassions. All we get up here is crickets. And… Read more »
