Senator McConnell has promised to sabotage the impeachment trial and he must recuse himself. No court in the country would allow a member of the jury to also serve as the accused’s defense attorney.

#DefendOurDemocracy
Yesterday, Sen. McConnell said, “Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with the White House counsel. 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.”
The United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 3, says, “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments."

It also says, "When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation.” #DefendOurDemocracy
The oath is: “I solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment...I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.”

The moment Senator McConnell takes the oath, he will be in violation of it. #DefendOurDemocracy
