Pelosi Rips Mitch McConnell While Announcing Plan To Transmit Articles Of Impeachment


<snip>
Pelosi wrote in a letter provided to PoliticusUSA on Friday:

For weeks now, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has been engaged in tactics of delay in presenting transparency, disregard for the American people’s interest for a fair trial and dismissal of the facts.

Yesterday, he showed his true colors and made his intentions to stonewall a fair trial even clearer by signing on to a resolution that would dismiss the charges. A dismissal is a cover-up and deprives the American people of the truth. Leader McConnell’s tactics are a clear indication of the fear that he and President Trump have regarding the facts of the President’s violations for which he was impeached.

The American people have clearly expressed their view that we should have a fair trial with witnesses and documents, with more than 70 percent of the public stating that the President should allow his top aides to testify. Clearly, Leader McConnell does not want to present witnesses and documents to Senators and the American people so they can make an independent judgment about the President’s actions.

I am very proud of the courage and patriotism exhibited by our House Democratic Caucus as we support and defend the Constitution.

Every Senator now faces a choice: to be loyal to the President or the Constitution.

No one is above the law, not even the President.
Mitch McConnell is trying to con the American people with a show trial. - PoliticusUSA
