Moscow Mitch tells Hannity he's in 'total coordination with the White House' on Trump's impeachment

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said clearly on Thursday what many have assumed: When articles of impeachment come over from the House of Representatives, as is expected, to his chamber, he will be acting virtually as President Donald Trump’s defense attorney.

“Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House counsel,” he said on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. “There will be no difference between the President’s position and our position as to how to handle this.”

He noted that, unlike the many other issues that come to his chamber, he’s unable to block impeachment. If it comes, he has to hold a trial, he admitted somewhat ruefully.

“We have no choice but to take it up, but we’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a fairly short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office, and the people who are representing the president in the well of the Senate,” he said.

I’m not gonna post how I really feel about this, because I don’t want to get banned from Democratic Underground and/or a visit from Secret Service or the FBI. Yeah, it’s THAT serious.

Something’s gotta be done about folk doing whatever the hell they want in this country. I know this is Land of the Free...but...DAMN!

to support the President. This whole thing has nothing to do with any kind of truth but strictly party. This is clearly in your face and they are damn proud of it. We are in deep trouble. The people are in deep trouble. The planet is in deep trouble. This is one of those time when I wish their was a GOD and a HELL. There is a place called hell and another place below HELL the GOP will be in that place.

One would think that "sole power" means that you're on your fucking own, Mr McConnell.
