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.
