    Default Senator: McConnell Should Recuse Himself From Trump's Impeachment Trial

    Speaker of the Senate Mitch McConnell has already declared any evidence presented at the Impeachment Trial of President Trump will be meaningless to him. He has already made up his mind to prejudge Trump innocent of all charges. He is not an impartial juror:

    "A Democratic Senator has said there is "increasing talk" that Mitch McConnell should "recuse himself" from President Donald Trump's likely impeachment trial.

    Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio told MSNBC on Tuesday that the GOP Senate Majority Leader had no "respect for the institution" after McConnell told reporters he was "not an impartial juror" and viewed the anticipated trial of the president as a "political process."

    The Democratic senator also claimed his own biases against Trump were "immaterial" and said he would decided how to vote "based only on the evidence."

    McConnell told reporters yesterday that there was "not anything judicial" about the impeachment process and called it a "political decision."

    He said: "I think it's pretty safe to say in a partisan exercise like this people sort of sign up with their own side. I think we're going to get an almost entirely partisan impeachment. I would anticipate an almost entirely partisan outcome in the Senate as well.""

    Senator Says There Is 'Increasing Talk' That Mitch McConnell Should Recuse Himself From Impeachment Trial

    Man, If any potential juror spoke like that during jury selection phase of a court trial, that potential juror would be excused, not selected. A fair trial does not begin with prejudiced jurors.

    Thank you, Senator Brown, for stating the obvious!

    Not that this should surprise ANYONE; if it weren';t for DOUBLE STANDARDS, the STALIN-O-CRATS would have NO STANDARDS AT ALL. SCHUMER NOT ONLY DECLARED THAT WITNESSES in THE SENATE TRIAL, WOULD JUST BE "THEATER"...has, NOT SURPRISINGLY CHANGED HIS TUNE on THAT POINT.

    IN addition, SCHUMER ALSO SAID IN 1999, THAT IS WAS NATURAL FOR THE SENATE DEMS TO COORDINATE WITH THE (Then-CLINTON) WHITE HOUSE, "BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS THE DEFENDANT IN THE TRIAL"....


    Schumer panned Clinton impeachment testimony as ‘theater,’ now seeks 4 witnesses in Trump trial



    Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has called for several current and former Trump administration officials to be subpoenaed to testify in the chamber's likely impeachment trial for President Trump.


    Yet, during former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial in 1999, Schumer, D-N.Y., roundly dismissed the importance of, and voted against, such witness testimony -- suggesting it amounted to "political theater."


    “It seems to me that no good case has been made for witnesses,” Schumer said during a press conference on Jan. 27, 1999.

    Days later, he argued that there was no reason to call witnesses, saying: “I wonder if the House managers aren’t a little more interested in political theater than in actually getting to the bottom of the facts.”

    The oath he will have to take is:

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

    He says he is not gonna do that.

    He should recuse.

    A fair trial in the United States of America depends on impartial jurors.
