McConnell just confirmed to Sean Hannity that the trial will be shaped 100% in accord with Trump's political needs.

This Hannity interview is a horror. It belongs in a time capsule for future generations studying the Trump-era destruction of our system:

McConnell's vow to rig the trial for Trump is worse than it appears.

McConnell and Hannity are saying this is how it *should* be. McConnell went on Hannity precisely to reassure Trump/GOP voters that Senate GOP's interests are 100% aligned with Trump's:

Also:

McConnell repeatedly says Dems wanted to impeach Trump for "three years."

This distortion is needed to reverse-justify McConnell's own corruption of the process.

Put this interview in the time capsule for future students of our unraveling:

It's plainly obvious from McConnell's interview on Hannity that he expects that Trump and GOP voters will *demand* that the Senate rig the trial on Trump's behalf.

He's *reassuring* them on this point.

This is crucial to the unraveling we're seeing.
