Senate Majority Leader McConnell, December 19, 2019:

"Look at history. The Andrew Johnson impeachment revolved around a clear violation of a criminal statute, albeit an unconstitutional one. Nixon had obstruction of justice — a felony under our laws."

1/3
"Clinton had perjury — also a felony. Now, the Constitution does not say the House can impeach only those presidents who violate a law. But history matters. Precedent matters."

2/3
"And there were important reasons why every previous House of Representatives in American history restrained itself from crossing this Rubicon."

3/3
