Nothing more cynical that Mitch McConnell speachifying about Trump's is "practically and morally" responsible for insurrection but saying it didn't meet a "criminal" standard.
This was not a criminal proceeding.

Mitch was happy to use Trump's lies and conspiracies when he thought it would secure him control of the Senate and was happy to provide himself and other Senators cover from base by voting to acquit. But just in case the weather starts changing, he wants this on the record...
Somewhere there is a portrait of Mitch McConnell looking very young and iron jawed.
Ah...here's the "but." The Senate is not a "moral tribunal"...impeachement is a "narrow tool" to protect against "sitting officers" but IT WAS MCCONNELL HIMSELF WHO MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE TO TRIAL WHILE TRUMP STILL IN OFFICE
Also the Senate vote on this, and voted that it WAS constitutional.
Mitch is basically explaining how this jury nullified itself.

The first part of this speech, however, can be used against Trump/put McConnell in jam should Trump run again, which I do not think he will.
Mitch McConnell essentially calling for Merrick Garland's DOJ to indict Trump is... the Vulcan chess of irony?
What McConnell is worried about keeping donors in the fold so you know who to pressure. Corporate America.
Every donation to every authoritarian loving Senator and piece of the party should be made a millstone.
